Sine its release the audiences have been raving about the film resulting it to be unstoppable at the box office. The film plunges into the gritty details behind the culmination of the 26/11 Mumbai bomb blasts. in the film one scene that stands out is when the screen bleeds red as the authentic transcripts of the conversation of the terrorists with their henchmen appear with their voices eerily echo in the background.
Savita Bagga who is an author and also a survivor of the 26/11 inhumane attacks on the Taj Hotel revealed on her X handle that she and her husband were at the Taj Hotel during the attack and she also reacted strongly to the said scene on her social media handle. She stated that she heard the voices of the handlers directing the terrorists and they were disturbing, revolting and inhuman.
Bagga took to her X handle on Tuesday and wrote, I was in the Taj Hotel on the night of 26/11 with my husband Ajay Bagga . We were fortunate to survive the heinous terrorist attack that night and were rescued alive after 14 hours,
Taking about the bleeding screen scene she further wrote, “The most bone-chilling scene in #Dhurandhar for me was the red screen where the actual voice recordings of the 26/11 terrorists and their handlers were played. To hear what the handlers were instructing the terrorists to do , how brutal, inhuman and disgusting it was – just sent shivers through my body. To see the scene recreated from the other side- the handlers celebrating at every bomb going off & every person killed – if that doesn’t fill us with rage and renewed commitment to national security, what else will?
She went on to give credit to director Aditya Dhar and his team for the film, “17 years have passed but the memory of what happened and what could have happened to us just shook me to the core . Gut wrenching and painful Huge credit to Dhurandhar and its makers
@AdityaDharFilms for ensuring that an entire new generation understands what truly happened on 26/11 in just those 2–3 minutes. That look of@RanveerOfficial will haunt an entire generation.”
Director Aditya Dhar acknowledged her post and replied, “Your words remind us why this story had to be told. That moment was shaped to reflect the brutal truth. If it leaves a mark, it is to ensure we remember, stand united, and never allow such darkness to return. Thank you for surviving, for speaking, and for strengthening our collective resolve.”
