Director: Anthony Maras
Cast: Armie Hammer , Dev Patel , Nazanin Boniadi , Jason Isaacs , Tilda Cobham-Hervey , Anupam Kher , Amandeep Singh (IX) , Suhail Nayyar , Angus McLaren , Natasha Liu Bordizzo
Plot: This movie is based on the 2009 documentary "Surviving Mumbai", which recounts the true story of the Taj Mahal Hotel terrorist attack in Mumbai in 2008. Hotel staff, among them the renowned chef Hemant Oberoi and waiter, risk their lives to keep the guests safe. Meanwhile, a desperate couple wanting to protect their newborn child with nanny among the people who are force to make unthinkable sacrifice to protect themselves and their family during the attack!


My Movie Review: The movie is intense tragedy thriller that's well thought just take a breather! Hotel Mumbai is the best action packed true story in years others maybe surprise how good it is but I saw glimpse of brilliance in the trailer so I know it's going to be a good high octane film:) Most of movies based in true story kinda sad and bitter as they get trap in a story box of a big event or individual yet this reach beyond what expected- it build character in raw genuine way:) What shocked me the people who survive and those who don't main characters who got killed made this unpredictable and a focus in a terrorist dilemma was genius so real you got to think!! Dev Patel is a stand out his portray to the role was endearing and his look fits bill the heroism they shown together with hotel staff was truly commendable as he honor his country in this act! No Escape is another film I can compare while watching they both have family in vacation to a foreign land were they got caught in chaos with cultural aspects and explosive terrorist attacks!

Critics Consensus: Its depiction of real-life horror will strike some as exploitative, but Hotel Mumbai remains a well-made dramatization of tragic events. Anthony Maras, directing his first feature, commands compellingly human performances that make you care about the people who came to the luxury hotel without knowing what they were getting into...You'll tense up and maybe even hold your breath... Hotel Mumbai is a bloody, violent look at a bloody, violent tragedy. Perhaps it pushes things a little too far in its viscerality, but it does so in service to the narrative. A gripping but flawed docudrama about a real-life tragedy caused by terrorists in Mumbai, India. Hotel Mumbai is a chilling and valuable reminder of acts of madness, and acts of heroism, that should never be forgotten. Uneasy and unnerving, "Hotel Mumbai" is a tough one to shake. An all-out assault on the senses it will stay with you though hard to watch. "Hotel Mumbai" captures Taj siege hauntingly messages of hope and reassurance aren't easily heard!
