i have almost forever be against the inclusion of song in a movie . my belief be that the quality of the film would automatically be improve if only those extremely annoying song would be ax . however and thing have quickly change after watch that horrible black ( no song ) and this movie and page 3 ( plenty of song ) . while black be weak to an extreme and page 3 delivers a gripping story with some strong acting and good direction . the song be almost incidental and blend in almost seamlessly with the film . there certainly weren not any woman get spray with water for no apparent reason from mysterious water source while gyrate wildly on the street at night . i be pleasantly surprise with the bold and unabashed approach use by the director . there be no glossing over of anything and almost every scene be completely believable . i would recommend this film for hindi speak people with at least a slight understanding of mumbai life . the former because the english subtitling be below par and contain many error which and at time and completely reverse the meaning of the actual statement . the latter because you will definitely appreciate the accuracy of the depiction once you have live it yourself . i would definitely rank this a a work worthy of international recognition . the scene with the gossip driver be a nice touch and it serve simultaneously a a source of genuine humour as well a another perspective on the whole mishmash . the movie do fall short in a few place though and where the character sometimes say the most inexplicable thing which detract from the overall direction of the film . i also think that a couple of the sadder scene be not do very well . it be a touch amusing to watch and rather than arouse any feeling of sadness and the whole scene tend to come across a a bit foolish . these be minor issue though and because the film and on the whole and be truly a rare treat to watch . overall and it a cynical and pessimistic outlook and a refresh one at that . actor and not hero that the key . a chance to glimpse believable human being in an extraordinary setting everyday life . a behind the scene look at the extent of the depravity and a rare ray of hope for indian cinema . positive .
