Bold Theme!
The story by Prashant Khedekar revolves around all those people who come to the city of Mumbai with a lot of dreams, aims and goals and desires to pursue their dreams relentless by hook or crook only to be let down by Dame Fortune or their fate. It is about how a common man finds himself at the crossroads in life overnight when the changing rules of the government sector impacts badly his middle class family.

PLUS POINTS:
The film makes you feel for the well etched characters. Makrand Deshpande and Kranti Redkar steal the show with their performances while Mukesh Rishi impresses as the builder who is a crook out to fleece the inmates of a chawl.

MINUS POINTS:
Not only is the screenplay repetitive at times, but the film with its middle class backdrop also reminds you of a similar story line in Mahesh Manjrekar’s Parel Lalbaug which also dwells at length about a poor girl’s quest for love and fortune.

VERDICT:
It is a film which will not only shock you with its bold theme about the dreams of the middle class but also make you think.
