mumbai meri jaan

A riveting film that slashes across class, religion, gender, race and caste to identify common threads that bind people in the present troubled times. The single idea that the film potrays is that every one has their own retributions and penance without being didactic. It explores the various aspects of the human personality slipping into shades of grey with ease. The actors are all at their best but paresh rawal stands out in the role of a hawaldar as one of his best performances ever. The high point of the movie being in the end with a popular song about bombay being played to personify the city as it is. A must watch especially for people who have experienced life in mumbai.
