Description: The film “The Interview: Night of 26/11” begins with Rakesh Maria, portrayed by Nana Patekar, who serves as the Joint Commissioner of Mumbai Police. He is seen providing a detailed and truthful testimony before an inquiry committee regarding the tragic events of the 26/11 attacks.
The story unfolds a few days before the attacks. A fishing trawler named MV Kuber is navigating the Arabian Sea when it is intercepted by an unidentified boat seeking assistance. The crew of the anonymous boat takes the MV Kuber’s members hostage, compelling its captain, Amar Singh Solanki, to transport ten young men to Mumbai under the threat of killing his crew. Reluctantly, Amar agrees and discovers that the passengers are terrorists. As Mumbai’s shoreline comes into view, the terrorists order Amar to halt several kilometers away and then contact their leader, who instructs them to kill Amar. After executing him, the terrorists abandon MV Kuber and make their way to the shore using an emergency raft.
On November 26, the terrorists arrive at Colaba Causeway, splitting into five teams of two members each. Group 1 heads to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus by taxi, Group 2 moves toward Nariman House, Group 3 travels to Hotel Oberoi Trident, Group 4 walks to Café Leopold, and Group 5 takes a taxi to Hotel Taj Palace.
Group 1, consisting of Ajmal Kasab (played by Sanjeev Jaiswal) and Ismail Khan (Saad Orhan), travels to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. Ismail distracts the taxi driver while Kasab plants a bomb in the vehicle, setting the stage for the devastating events that follow.
