This suspenseful narrative follows events inside the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel as hotel guests and staff try to hide from the four gunman.
Dev Patel plays a Hotel waiter caught up in events as the attacks breakout, and along with Chef Oberoi, played by Anupam Kher, is pivotal in helping the frightened guests. These include Armie Hammer as the all-American husband of Nazanin Boniadi, both trapped in the hotel dining room as the shooting begins. Upstairs in a hotel room their Nanny, Tilda Cobham-Hervey, is caring for the couple’s baby, and unaware of the unfolding horror. An arrogant and wealthy Russian businessman, played by Jason Isaacs, remains defiant; and we witness the many heartbreaking interactions with staff and guests as they try to survive. After their arrival the four gunman mercilessly pursue those in their path, all the while taking instructions from their Commanders.
Hotel Mumbai is inspired by Surviving Mumbai, a multi-award winning television documentary that was broadcast around the world in 2009 to mark the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
