| Hotel Mumbai | comment |
Hotel Mumbai is a 2018 action thriller film directed by Anthony Marras. It is based on the real events of 2008 when a group of terrorists made a series of attacks across Mumbai (now known as 26/11). The film is hugely inspired by the 2009 documentary Surviving Mumbai that tells about the same events.The film follows several characters played by the prominent Hollywood actors. Arjun (Dev Patel) is one of the workers of the Taj Hotel who tries his best to keep people in safe, while an American David (Armie Hammer), his British-Iranian wife Zahra Kashani (Nazanin Boniadi) and a Russian businessman Vasili (Jason Isaacs) are among the guests that are trapped in the hotel which is occupied by the group of terrorists. | |

Shoot the Shaggy Dog | |
| Hotel Mumbai / int_272abb98 | comment |
Shoot the Shaggy Dog: David is the main American character of the film and he makes his way through the hotel to save his child and Sally, who is a nanny of said child. So we are expected that he succeeds and may even play a bigger role in the conflict resolution. Wrong. He fails at bringing them to the safe zone (albeit his actions ultimately help them get out of this alive) and dies rather a pointless death. Also the case with Zahra and Vasili who left a safe zone to find David. Vasili gets killed because of it and Zahra survives only because of being a Muslim. Her attempt to find Sally and Cameron also ends up as a fail as she could have just waited for them in the safe zone. | |

The Cavalry Arrives Late | |
| Hotel Mumbai / int_2e338ce4 | comment |
The Cavalry Arrives Late: The NSG commandos only arrive to subdue the terrorists 12 hours after the initial attacks, as they had to be brought all the way from New Delhi and deploying them meant ceding control over the incident site from the state/municipal government to the central government, which involved a lot of negotiation and red tapes. By the time they arrive (and make short work of the terrorists when they do), hundreds of innocent people were already killed by the terrorists including Bree and two main characters: Vasili and David. | |

Psychopathic Manchild | |
| Hotel Mumbai / int_3ae6199a | comment |
Psychopathic Manchild: The terrorists are all very young, but also act very immaturely at times; there is no contradiction for them between executing a helpless old woman as she hides in a bathroom, and then squeeing over the first flushing toilet they've seen. Likewise, one trolls Imran into thinking the food he just tried was pork, before revealing it was only vegetables, and then turning around gun blazing when he hears David making noise on the elevator. They also have extremely short tempers and get frustrated very quickly by the language barrier between them and the (terrified and compliant) hostages. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Hotel Mumbai / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: All of the terrorists that attacked the hotel are killed. The other terrorists attacking other sites in Mumbai are also killed with the sole survivor being captured by police. Arjun, Zahra, Sally, Cameron, Eddie, DC Vam, his partner and Oberoi all survive. Arjun safely returns to his family and Zahra reunites with Sally and Cameron. Not only that but the Taj Hotel eventually re-opens sometime afterward. However, hundreds of innocent people were killed, including David, Bree and Vasili and many survivors are injured and/or severly traumatized. Eddie lost his girlfriend, Zahra lost her husband, Cameron lost his father and both Arjun and Oberoi lost nearly half of their hotel staff. Also the orchestrators of the attacks remain unpunished. Although in Real Life, Brother Bull was identified as Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, who was arrested in 2021 for an unrelated crime and is serving three five-year sentences concurrently. | |

Politically Incorrect Hero: A minor case with Vasili who calls Zahra “one of them� early in the movie (while trying to give her a cloth she can wear like a hijab in the hope the terrorists won't shoot her) and make several racist remarks to piss off the terrorists. He also shows quite a lot of casual sexism when it comes to having sex with women, but doesn't hesitate to risk his life for Zahra either. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Hotel Mumbai / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Downplayed. Government forces are useless during the most part of the film as they have orders not to escalate things, so the staff and the guests are on their own. However there is a subplot about two police officers, who get into the building, courageously distract the terrorist from breaking into the room full of people and severely injure one of them despite having only sidearms against the terrorists' assault rifles. It's explicitly mentioned that Mumbai law enforcement are quite simply not trained or equipped for a coordinated attack by trained killers with military-grade weapons, and the special forces, the only ones that can deal with them, are hours away. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: As the hotel guests and staff are making their escape through the kitchen with the terrorists not far behind, one of the staff grabs a kitchen knife and courageously stabs one of them, before being shot to death. Vasili biting Imran's gunshot wound, with his hands tied, as Imran's preparing to kill Zahra also counts. The two receptionists are executed when they refuse to obey the terrorists' orders to phone the rooms and tell the guests the police have arrived and they should open their doors. | |

Heel Realization: Imran, one of the terrorists, gets this after he receives several orders that contradict his religious views and he gets to know that his family didn’t receive any money, so he understood that they are used by the orchestrators of the attack for their own corrupted goals. Also it’s too late to redeem himself for the sudden change of heart after all he's done, so he committes Suicide by Cop. | |

Foreshadowing: Vasili tells Zahra to cover her head so the terrorists could know she’s a Muslim. Later her conversation through the phone in Persian becomes a cause of concern of the another woman. A prayer in Arabic is what ultimately saves her life as Imran couldn’t kill a praying Muslim woman. Averted with Zahra’s letter to David she’d written in case she dies. She’s ultimately the one who survives. | |

Hope Spot: Bree is revealed to be alive after being shot early in the movie and Arjun is trying to get her out of the building. Unfortunately, a sudden encounter with Mumbai cops scares her so she runs away and is killed off-screen a few seconds later. Also when David, Zahra and Vasili are taken as hostages it seems like they have a chance of actually getting out of this alive. Wrong. They are ordered to be killed and Zahra is the only one of them who is spared. | |

Hero Killer | |
| Hotel Mumbai / int_e16fb8ca | comment |
Hero Killer: Imran is the one in the sense of a movie plot as he is the one who kills David and Vasili who are among the film’s main protagonists. Unusually for this trope, he's no more of an unstoppable force of destruction than any of the other bad guys, and actually spends a lot of the film badly injured and is the only terrorist shown doubting himself. | |

Composite Character | |
| Hotel Mumbai / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Actually, most of the characters are made up for the film and composed of several real people. For example, Arjun is made up from the waiter who turned off the lights in the reustarant to hide the guests and the other worker who helped the police officers to get into the CV room. The only real person used in the film are Taj Hotel’s chef Oberoi who is a respected and well-known chef in India, and Ajmal Kasab, the sole survivor among the terrorists who was captured in another part of the city (and hence only appears briefly). | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The only time Arjun loses his cool is when a hotel guest calls the reporters outside for help, revealing their location to the terrorists. | |
