State of Siege 26/11 documents what happened in 2008 and celebrates the valour of the men in uniform. Based on Sandeep Unnithan's book Black Tornado: The Three Sieges of Mumbai 26/11, the show tries to give a detailed account of what happened during the operation and how our security forces succeeded in saving several lives despite faulty equipment and lack of funds.

As the author of the book, Sandeep Unnithan admits the show takes some creative liberties in order to make it more engaging for the viewers. But, it doesn't deviate much from the book. It doesn't over-dramatise the terror attacks to factor in the patriotism quotient and focuses on the characters without making heroes out of them, even though they are so in real life.
