Mumbai Diaries 26/11 is a film based on 60 hours of terrorism that Mumbai faced in 2008.

There are several documented proofs on what terrorists like Kasab thought about Hinduism and India. However, writer-director Nikkhil Advani presents a watered-down, puppy-eyed version of events. He wants us to look at Jihad as “man’s fight with his inner darkness”. What poppycock!

Bollywood has always lacked the courage to call out Islamist violence. Here too, they equate namaz with Hindu pooja-paat and say “hehehe, humanity is above everything.”

Was 26/11 carried out by practicing Hindus? Then why drag them in to this dialoguebaazi?

Why teach ‘new meaning of Jihad’ to victims of ‘old meaning of Jihad’? Why not to performers of Jihad?

Why quote Pooja Paath when attacks were carried by haters of Pooja Paath?
