While the chef Heart Oberoi (Anupam Kher) and the waiter Arjun (Slumdog Millionaire’s star Dev Patel) risk their lives, trying to outsmart the terrorists, a family is making the impossible to protect their baby. Sadly, due to the severity and the surprise element of the attack, there were people who have lost their lives and also others, who were taken hostages.
