Introduction

Hey Guys. Today is the day when Mumbai Meri Jaan got released in the theaters of Bollywood and here we’re digging deep into the movie to find out what made this movie so special and successful.


Iconic dialogues from this movie

Ek doosre se aage badne ki jaldbazi mein aur apni manzil tak pahunchne ki maramaari mein … hum apni manzil ke kareeb tak shayad pahunch jaate hai … magar apne aap se door ho jaate hai

English:

In trying to move ahead of each other and in trying to get to our goals … maybe we reach close to our goals … but we become far from ourselves

Yeh mat bhool ki chamakta suraj andhere ki kook se hi nikalta hai … thandi hawa ka mazaa paseena aane ke baad hi aata hai … dukh, gham, pareshani tere raaste ki rukavat nahi … teri manzil ka raasta hai

English:

Don’t forget that the shining sun comes out from the lap of darkness … the enjoyment of cold air comes only after you have sweat on your forehead … sadness, sorrow, problems are not the obstacles of your path … they are the path to your destination


Critic Reviews

β€œWhat makes Mumbai Meri Jaan a heartwarming enterprise is a manner in which those situations are nuanced, and brought to a believable, upbeat end.β€œ Subhra Gupta


Plot Summary

Mumbai Meri Jaan is a story of five different characters during the train bomb blasts in Mumbai. Thomas meets Rupali, a reporter whose fiance lost his life in the blast. On other hand, Suresh doubts all the Muslims and blames them for the blasts and Sunil is a trapped policeman who hates his corrupt seniors.


Direction and screenwriting going places

Director Kamat and Writer Joshi created a wonderful movie. It started slowly and cautiously, but the graph has been growing steadily throughout the movie. “Mumbai Meri Jaan” records the lives of 5 people before and after the explosion of the Mumbai series in 2006. This list contains some very good actors in the Hindi film industry today. None of them will disappoint. Each of them has penetrated the skin of their character, rest assured that they are not simple characters. Nishikant Kamat is a director to watch. Use various equipment such as close-ups, quick edit, lookup, silence, still images, hard music, almost everything. But they are all modest. So the end result looks simple and straightforward, which is probably the hardest thing to do in the Hindi film industry today.


Story selling the film and acting justifying it

The story is beautifully written. Leave room for all roles. Each has a clear definition. It perfectly captures your fear, failure, prejudice, and pain. It takes us from one character to another, and all the stories are seamlessly integrated. The editing is very clean, although cutting the length of the film a bit shorter maybe tighter. The reason Mumbai Meri Jaan really clicked is that it is about real people in the real world. The vast space it covers in a limited space is surprising. One Paresh Rawal (Paresh Rawal) reviewed his 36 years of a police career.

When we fully listen to his opinion, it is difficult to decide whether he is a loser or a winner. The wrinkles on your face, the gray hair, the vision of glasses, is there a better metaphor to describe the city in which you live? Madhavan can get what he wants the character to be. You have money to buy a car and you have the opportunity to emigrate to Europe or the United States. But should I do it? We really don’t know the end. For some reason, a tear slipped from her cheek, which was the last shot of this movie. K. K. Menon and Irfan are great actors. They added dimensions to their roles, and I suspect that even the author does not know that these dimensions exist. Soha Ali Khan partly analyzed today’s news channel. It raises many obvious questions.
