*1/2

Yeh Mumbai hai, yahan sirf vaat lagti hai… keeping this agenda strictly in mind, writer-director Rakesh Mehta set out to make a film. With the help of an ensemble cast, he weaves together tales of some peculiar characters hoping that the names of the cast members would lend credence to the story. But when you take on over-familiar subjects seen umpteen times on the big screen like Mumbai’s underworld; showbiz and the casting couch; the nexus between the cops and the politicians there is a sense of déjà vu.
