Synopsis
In November 2008, jihadists from Pakistan staged a series of devastating terror attacks across Mumbai, hurling India’s most populous city into utter chaos. During the three-day standoff, these gunmen seized the legendary Taj Mahal Palace Hotel with over 500 guests and employees trapped inside.
A searing, immersive cinematic experience, Hotel Mumbai focuses on the events that transpired at the legendary Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, targeted as the pre-eminent symbol of Indian progress and diversity. In the thick of the maelstrom, people from many different countries, cultures, creeds and social classes must find a way to organize and escape in the face of constant peril.
Among the hotel staff is renowned chef Hemant Oberoi (Anupam Kher) and a gentle Sikh waiter (Dev Patel), who risk everything to protect their guests. And as the world media watches on, a desperate couple (Armie Hammer, Nazanin Boniadi) make unthinkable sacrifices to defend their newborn child, while a steely Russian millionaire (Jason Isaacs) seems only interested in protecting himself.
Hotel Mumbai draws audiences into the epicenter of the attack and highlights ordinary people from all walks of life whose responses to this nightmarish scenario reveal the courage and resilience that unite us when we need it most. In gripping, realistic detail, the film speaks to the humanity that shines from within the tragedy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”14010″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section section_color=”section_white” section_padding=”padding_small”][vc_row gap=”default” equal_height=”yes” disable_element=”yes”][vc_column width=”1/12″][vc_single_image image=”12832″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”11/12″][vc_column_text]

“Obviously I was heartbroken over the violence and loss of life”
“But at first I only knew the Mumbai attacks as a series of burning buildings on a TV screen. Then as I watched interviews with survivors, an entirely new dimension of these events opened up for me.”

“What really made this film possible was the local support we received.
“The Mount Magnet community were so welcoming, helpful and accomodating of our weird, wonderful and sometimes last minute requests.
“Perhaps more importantly, we felt the community were aligned with our desire to show off the region and share a part of our history for Australian and international audiences to enjoy.”
