Off the #Citylights...



For many years the bollywood is showing the struggling life of Mumbai in the movies, and such movies too perform very well. The recent movie I saw was Citylights. I preferred to see the movie because I saw Mumbai Mirror gave it 4.5 stars in their review. I pretended it to be a good movie. It runs around a life of a poor Rajasthani couple who lost their business in Sanganer and chose Mumbai to settle down. Most likely the other movies, they’re even robbed by a thug when they arrive Mumbai. (yeh to saala hona hi tha…). Wife meets bar dancers in Police station and starts working with club in the night while the husband starts working with a Security agency which works for high profile clients.

Their little innocent daughter doesn’t have much role but she used to sleep hungry when the couple was struggling to earn money. Woman is molested in a bar and thrown out by his employer. And the other side, the husband who was employed with a security agency finds himself in a big trouble when his colleague is shot dead while delivering a parcel to client. The story is neither about fulfilling your dreams nor about shortcut to earn money. The husband wants to see his wife and little girl happy & prosperous. He takes a risk but fails ending up his life.

Wife gets enough money to spend the rest of the life with a little girl. They go back to Sanganer. Here is the worse part when wife is crying in pain remembering those beautiful moment spent with her husband. Story ends with a tragedy. When you have lots of money, it becomes useless when your beloved is not around. The real happiness is hidden somewhere in ‘love’. Money doesn’t matter at all. You have to be strong; you have to believe a person you love in whatever condition you’re. The Bhatt camp again got ‘a’ certificate because of the intimate scenes given by a couple & for using a double meaning joke. The bollywood tries to blackmail audience emotionally and it succeeds really!
