WEB SERIES Review: Mumbai Diaries 26/11 is an intense and engaging fictionalised medical drama on the Mumbai terror attack. The writers waste no time to set an arresting premise and show the urgency in the lives of frontline workers, emergency doctors, and other hospital staff. The makers have not just limited the story to the terror attacks but also involved human relationships.
Major highlights of the show are cinematography, medical surgery, and attack sequences which are executed perfectly. Although, few moments are overly dramatized, and too many subplots & backstories slow down the pace. But still, the series is emotionally gripping and its screenplay managed to hold the viewers till the last episode.
Every actor played their part brilliantly. Mohit Raina and Konkona Sen Sharma delivered an excellent performance. Shreya Dhanwantary’s character was underwritten but she managed to give a convincing performance. Satyajeet Dubey, Natasha Bharadwaj, and Mrunmayee Deshpande shines in their supporting roles.
