The after effects of terror

Mumbai Meri Jaan (2008)

Directed by Nishikant Kamat this film stars R. Madhavan, Irrfan Khan, Soha Ali Khan, Paresh Rawal and Kay Kay Menon. We follow several fictional characters through the effects the 2006 Mumbai train bombings have on them.

It is really interesting to see the point of view of a different culture on terrorism and this film does a fairly good job of looking at the reactions to a terrorist attack. I especially liked the character of the journalist used to exploiting tragedy found on the side of the fence but all the characters stories are interesting. Some of the special effects for the attack itself are questionable but otherwise this is a well made film.


4/5
