Mumbai meri jaan

The movie moves ahead as promised & as the critics have said about it.. I'm hardly going to describe the movie so please switch to another site if you are interested in the story..

The theme of the movie is not about the blasts (thankfully).. and it is not even about people (Aaamir was good but slow & painful)...
its a movie about mindsets & more importantly a commentry on the current state of affairs...

i love the way the narrative can compare with ease india & the usa...despite obvious differences of lifestyle. As is rightly said, fear is completely unbiased of race, creed, colour or wealth.

The movie talks about how fear and social psychosis affects a layman, and how a common person becomes the fearful one, the tormentor, the victim and the attacker at the same time. I dont know if the director had visualized all this, but i think i found much to learn from the movie.

Most of all what i like is its portrayal of different communities, and Paresh Rawal's utmost sensitively given sermon on the state of affairs and clashes between community, the ways of seeing the world and the urge to make a difference.
The movie ends with a beautiful touch of hope, which i don't think could have been portrayed in a more artistic manner. I still havent got the chance to see who the director was, but its a very good job!!!

So do make a point to watch it while its playing in the theatres. I promise you better & more sensible entertainment than mindless masala....
