State Of Siege Temple Attack Review: Akshaye Khanna Shines In A Loosely Written Film State Of Siege Temple Attack Review: एक 110 मिनट की फिल्म, अक्षय खन्ना के नेतृत्व में, उन सभी जो बिल्ली और चूहे का पीछा भारी हथियारों से लैस और बहादुर डर रहे हैं के लिए है, सैनिकों देश के लिए कुछ भी कर सकते '।
A group of bearded, soft-eyed terrorists with a peculiar accent, and a handler who orders them over the phone. Innocent, helpless people who have been taken hostage are the few who will end up as collateral damage before uniformed men can sneak in to save lives. Pressure is mounting as politicians are forced to make a tough decision – whether to barter the dreaded terrorists in exchange for people's lives. Do these scenarios sound familiar? Well, most terror-attack thrillers are shaped like this, and ZEE5's latest offering State of Siege: Temple Attack is no different.
The 110-minute film, led by Akshaye Khanna, is for all those who love a cat-and-mouse chase among terrifying, heavily armed men and the brave, 'Desh ke liye kuch bhi karte karte karte hain. But if you're looking for a subtle treatment of a harrowing tale involving flesh-and-blood monsters with many randomly killed off, you're in the wrong place.
The film picks up on the 2002 terrorist attack on the Akshardham temple in Gandhinagar, Gujarat on September 24, 2002. Two armed men killed 33 people and injured 80, including a National Security Guard (NSG) commando and two Gujarat Police officers. The attack took place after the Godhra riots. But, authors William Borthwick and Simon Fantuzo have focused only on the role of National Security Guard (NSG) commandos in killing terrorists and rescuing hostages. In doing so, they shied away from the facts of the attack, of course, to avoid any repercussions. The film opens with the disclaimer, "This film is inspired by true events and is a creative visualization and recreation of the context of those events".
