What Was Life Really Like?
India suffered its most devastating terrorist attack when gunmen from Pakistan attacked Mumbai over three days in November, killing 166 people. The attack on the Taj Hotel, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, and other iconic locations was watched live on television by a horrified nation. The global financial crisis hit, slowing growth.
Ghajini — Aamir Khan's action blockbuster — was the year's biggest film. India's resilience was again being tested, and again it endured.
