State of Siege: 26/11

American director Matthew Leutwyler tells us the story of brave National Security Guard (NSG) commandos who played a very big role in bringing down the terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26, 2008. We have seen many films or documentaries on the 26/11 attacks, however, State of Seige still a brilliant representation of the events and you will know as you read further.

Cast: Arjan Bajwa, Arjun Bijlani, Vivek Dahiya, Mukul Dev, Tara Alisha Berry

Its an incredible and interesting series which had been never seen before. I glad to see this series.

State of Siege 26/11 documents what happened in 2008 and celebrates the valour of the men in uniform. Based on Sandeep Unnithan's book Black Tornado: The Three Sieges of Mumbai 26/11, the show tries to give a detailed account of what happened during the operation and how our security forces succeeded in saving several lives despite faulty equipment and lack of funds.

As the author of the book, Sandeep Unnithan admits the show takes some creative liberties in order to make it more engaging for the viewers. But, it doesn't deviate much from the book. It doesn't over-dramatise the terror attacks to factor in the patriotism quotient and focuses on the characters without making heroes out of them, even though they are so in real life.

Every character in the series played their rol so beautifully and naturally. Arjun Bijlani's role is best suited to him as a commissioner. Vivek dahiya also played his role too good. The series plots the story of the mumbai terror attack at Taj Hotel. The script writer and director of the series showed it in a very natural style.

A good series that gives us an in depth look at the events of 26/11.

Felt like Arjun Bijlani overacted.

Story was engaging and the terrorists played an okay role.

They tried really hard to make it a good series but there was still some bad acting.

Gave them an extra star for their effort.
