Today marks 11 years of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks - one of the most sordid chapters of modern Indian history. In 2008, 10 Pakistani terrorists belonging to Lashkar-e-Tayyiba sneaked into Mumbai and gunned down over 160 people. Over the course of their attack, nine of them were killed while one -- Mohammed Ajmal Kasab -- was arrested and finally executed in November 2012. Arriving in Mumbai from Karachi, Pakistan, by a fishing trawler, the 10 terrorists unleashed mass destruction at the city's hubs such as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station, Taj Mahal Palace hotel, Cafe Leopold, Cama and Albless Hospital, Nariman House, and Oberoi-Trident Hotel.
While Anthony Maras' internationally-produced "Hotel Mumbai" opens this week to narrate the tale of terror at Taj Mahal Palace hotel during that fateful tragedy, there has just one film in all these years that recounts the story of Mumbai attacks -- Ram Gopal Varma's "The Attacks Of 26/11".
