Last night, we went in for back to back movies.. and just when we thought movies couldn't get much better than the five starrer Limitless, we were treated to another fantastic movie, Shor In The City.
The city is just an excuse to be good or bad. Especially bad. And when that city is Mumbai, you can only expect the maximum. Three taporis struggle to make money, their trials and tribulations providing some heart warming moments, until they stumble upon a treasure - a bag full of guns and a bomb. And when need meets need, when supply meets demand, things can change very quickly! Or does it, really?
SITC is a wonderful mosiac of experiences and emotions that define life in Mumbai. The foreign returned accented desi and his model girlfriend's struggle with extortionists for protection money. The frustration of a middle class girl with countless marriage proposals, while her cricketer boyfriend struggles to get "selected" on the merit of his game. The shy new bride who waits every night for her marriage to be consummated. The MMS culture, the road side Romeo, the couples on Marina Drive. Every frame, every dialogue real as can be. You will laugh, you will worry, you will identify with every character - you know these people. You meet them every day.
A simply stunning cinematic experience, this is a gem of a movie that any serious movie buff would be loath to miss!
