Mumbai Meri Jaan (DVD) (2008) (Hindi Film DvD/Indian Cinema/Bollywood/Thriller/Paresh Rawal) [DVD]

Shortly after 1800 hours, 11 July 2006, Mumbai was
shattered by seven bomb blasts on Western Railway stations: Matunga, Mahim,
Khar, Bandra, Jogeshwari, Borivali, and Bhayandar. It took the Police and
ambulance over an hour to attend at various sites. This incident changes lives
of Thomas, originally from Chennai, who sells tea from his bike; Rupali Joshi,
a TV News reporter, who has to deal with the death of her to-be spouse, Ajay
Kumar Pradhan; Suresh, in debt, starts to suspect all Muslims, especially
Yusuf; Inspector Tukaram Patil, about to retire, goes about collecting bribes
as usual, much to the chagrin of his embittered, honest and soon to-be
suspended subordinate, Sunil Kadam; while Nikhil Agarwal, a Nationalist and
environmentalist, debates whether he should re-locate to the United States,
along with his pregnant wife, Sejal Review The serial bombing of suburban
trains in Mumbai in 2006 is a nightmarish incident the nation would never
forget. And Mumbaikars still get gooseflesh recalling the ghastly incident.
MUMBAI MERI JAAN recreates the incident on celluloid, but is not about
terrorism per se. It talks about the aftermath of this tragedy and how the
lives of five people, not remotely connected or associated with one another,
gets affected in the process. MUMBAI MERI JAAN is more of an emotional
journey. Five varied stories unveil in those 2 hours [a concept that's fast
catching up with Bollywood] and each makes a statement. Nishikant Kamat's
first Hindi venture is one of those films that don't deviate from the core
issue. It may not be foolproof in terms of writing, but the execution is so
compelling that one overlooks those minor blemishes in the narrative. MUMBAI
MERI JAAN is more of a tribute to the never-dying spirit of this dynamic city
called Mumbai. A film that every citizen should watch! --bollywoodhungama.com
