November 26, 2019 marks 11 years of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Known as one of the most ghastly attacks of modern Indian history, the 26/11 attack shook Mumbai for four days. Back in 2008, 10 Lashkar-e-Tayyiba terrorists found their way to Mumbai and gunned down over 160 people. While nine of the ten terrorists were killed, one of them, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, was arrested and finally executed in November 2012.
The incident has been captured well in the movies and books, to talk about the failures that led to such a breach in security. On the 11th year of the deadly attack, here is a look at all the movies that you can watch:
