A lot many films and series were made on terrorist attacks in the country depicting how our brave soldiers have counterattacked to preserve the sovereignty and integrity of the country. The State of Siege franchise has portrayed one such mission in the 26/11 web series followed by the film Temple Attack streaming now on the digital platform Zee5.

Story

Four terrorists from Pakistan, Iqbal (Abhilash Chaudhary), Hanif (Dhanveer Singh), Farooq (Mridul Das), and Omar (Mihir Ahuja) infiltrate into India upon instructions from their leader Abu Hamza (Abhimanyu Singh) to carry out the attack on the Krishna Dham temple in Gandhinagar, Gujarat and kill the people to ensure the release of their jailed colleague Bilal Naikoo (Mir Sarwar).

Major Hanut Singh (Akshaye Khanna) of NSG who loses his friend and colleague during one of the earlier encounters with Bilal and Abu Hamza has to lead the mission to save the people who were held as hostages inside the temple. He also has to stop the handing over of the dreaded terrorist Bilal at any cost.

Performances

Akshaye Khanna was at his vintage best and reminds about the character of Dharamvir Bhan he played in the iconic 1997 film Border. There will be very limited dialogues and a lot of expressions for his character in Temple Attack which Akshaye rafted through meticulously making a bigger impact on the whole film.

Most of the other performance part revolves around the four young terrorists Abhilash, Dhanveer, Mridul, and Mihir have done a fab job and that guy Mridul was real dynamite.

Gautam Rode as Major Samar, Vivek Dahiya as Capt Rohit and Akshay Oberoi in a blink and miss character along with Abhimanyu Singh have done well within their characters. Chandan Roy as Mohsin who tries to infuse some sense into the brains of the terrorists made a lasting impression.

Behind the scenes

The handling of an oft-repeated theme by director Ken Ghosh was exemplary as the narrative all through the film keeps everyone hooked without any single moment of lag. Ken Ghosh has succeeded in sustaining the interest of viewers from the beginning to the end.

Though there were some cinematic liberties taken like the wife calling an NSG Major about the birth of their child amidst a mission, it’s a riveting saga of bravery and sacrifice very well written by William Borthwick and Simon Fantauzzo who have recreated the 2002 attack on the Akshardham temple in a realistic way.

The background score by Kartik Shah was terrific and even the music given at the final title scroll also was truly extraordinary. Great job Kartik!

The cinematography by Tejal Shetye was par excellence and the production designing of Gauri Tiwari and Prasun Basu was top-notch that brought the 2002 ambience alive on the screen.

Final Verdict

Highly engaging film and can be watched to have a glimpse of the brutal attack on the Akshardham temple which killed around 30 people and salute our brave soldiers of the country who never shy away from their duty of saving the country what may come before them.
