IIPM Mumbai Campus
Sharp and rugged but loses direction eventually
With a title suggesting something on the lines of emancipation, things couldn’t be any different as it is but a brutal film. Based on the unforgiving slums of Mumbai, the film is a narrative journey of two twelve year old boys, who take to the slum-gangster life to financially support their ailing mother. They loot, shoot, get framed for murder and are sent to a juvenile home, which they discover is a training camp for crime.
There, they are subjected to heinous atrocities ranging from physical lambaste to sexual molestation; hence forcing them to form gangs, deal drugs and kill. Eleven years later, Vijay (Sharman Joshi) and Yakub (Faruk Kabir) are prepared to take on the ‘real’ world.
The movie is literally run by Faruk Kabir, who apart from delivering a convincing performance on screen, is also the writer and director. The second half of the film fails to compliment the grit of the first which had a “City of God” feel to it. Though the film did achieve its objective of ‘unglorifying’ crime, it is a tad confusing with respect to the plot, which tends to beat around the bush after toying with your expectations.
Decent on-screen performances are met with better off-screen performance, which makes the movie a welcome change.

The lyrics not only lift up the spirit, but infuse hope into your heart, because it makes you believe in the fact that life is transcendental, and troubles are only transitionary.
I tried to head back to sleep but my worries kept me up.
I decided to find a song that could lift up my spirits, and the only number that came to mind was Kailash Kher’s ever classic “Allah Ke Bande”.
