The 2008 Mumbai terror attacks remain one of the most harrowing chapters in modern Indian history, but they also birthed stories of extraordinary courage. Sashi Kiran Tikka’s 2022 film Major , written by and starring Adivi Sesh, distinguishes itself from other 26/11 narratives by shifting the lens. Instead of focusing solely on the tragedy of the event, the film serves as an intimate biopic that explores the making of a hero.
