I'm thankful I didn't miss this one. It was an overwhelming experience. The movie was so well in it's story presentation that it felt like I was witnessing everything like a mute spectator. Every person shown in the movie from the hostages to the terrorists everyone had their own story which was clearly shown through their acting and the nuances of the scenes. Nobody outshined eachother the story was meant to be a tribute to all the veterans of the incident and it was clearly successful in doing so, there was no particular "hero" who saved or sacrificed himself, just like I said everyone had their own story. The direction was awesome and not to forget Dev Patel, this guy sets a whole new bar of expectations with his every movie. I wanna conclude giving a special mention of Dev's scene which I can't stop thinking about, when he's rescued and is walking away making sure everyone's fine, the expression he carried was a whirlwind of emotions, just with that look he showed us the pain,the loss , the joy of freedom... everything a person can feel after such disaster. I will recommend you guys to watch it for the amazing performances but yeah go in with a strong heart.
