Aye dil hai mushkil....

I had to write this. I saw the film "Mumbai meri jaan" today and all I can say that it is THE BEST SATIRE I HAVE EVER SEEN. Period.

I am actually finding it difficult to put it in words. The film is übercool. It is entirely accurate to the facts. The case of the serial bombings that shook Mumbai, esp on the Western Railway line on 11th July, 2006.

What impressed me the most was the way the writer and director have used certain aspects of the incident and created realistic stories out of it all. The message goes across.

Amazing performance by all actors. A special mention is required for Paresh Rawal's performance as an aging police constable. Brilliant.

There is not a single moment in the entire film where you feel your interest level dropping and at the same time it keeps up with the mood of the content. Bravo!

An excellent job by director Nishikant Kamat after his excellent Marathi film "Dombivli Fast"

Nishikant Kamat may soon be the new king of satire.
