10/10
Too Good

Many a times I have thought of writing a script which has all these characters. Basically Mumabi street brawls to Vidhan Sabha corridors. I could think of only separate issues like flesh trade, beggars, rickshaws etc. Madhur has done a fantastic job by showing them all in a film and the common theme is 'Traffic Signal'. Never thought that way. Brilliant.

Film is fresh, intelligent, humane, tight and hard hitting. Its a lesson learned with popcorn and Pepsi. My wife kept saying "I cant watch all this" but she watched it and she finally said "what pathetic lives people live, sometimes our own lives look so meaningless". Madhur sent his peace of mind home. A six. A home run.

Casting and acting is perfect. Khemu will go a long way. Rani was beautiful. It was nice to see youngsters playing youngsters in an Indian film. Love songs made sense that way. Sudhir Mishra was a treat. Konkona Sen is very good and so is Ranvir. Santosh is good. Simple actors have performed so good. Madhur is a magician. My favorite track is IDB bank. I loved it when Sudhir says "Thank you aake bol". Its nice to see a panwala who looks like a panwala or chappal wala who looks like a chappalwala. A must for all the people who think we are just about to become a superpower. Very honest cinema. 9/10.
