PRAGOTI

"I would like to propose that the film, in its realist figuring of the city’s sordid streets and quarters actually touches on a very profound anxiety of the upwardly mobile urban middle class towards those spaces on the fringes of the city ( by- passed by global economic transformations and home to thousands who battle there for survival) that continually threaten to either spill over into the manicured residential and shopping spaces of the beneficiaries of market economy or to suck you into the black hole of its deathly abyss! In this sense Aamir is any ‘common man’ whose entrapment in this ‘other’ world proves to be so dreadfully fatal." Reviews Aarti Wani
