page 3

a wildean portrait of mumbai high society with great lines and characters until a crime reporter walks in in the form of atul kulkarni and the movie degenerates into an 'expose' of the 'underbelly' of the city complete with degenerate homosexuals, extra marital affairs, lustful lecherous men, drug traffickers, addicts and white skinned (and brown skinned) paedophiles.
it was funny how a film supposedly critical of a way of life expolited its subject shamelessly to titillate /shock complete with an 'item number' and naked pre teen butts paraded on screen.
badly made good film. terribly tackily shot and the sets were tawdry. but i think it worked better because of it.
konkana sen is fabulous. think i will see 'mr and mrs iyer' for her.
