The film by Pankaj Kapur is a masterpiece and is a perfect homage (if it is) to Charlie Chaplin. it can truly be understood by people who realize the essence of Bombay over Mumbai, hand-written letters over mails, old classics over the loud remixes, black and white over the colour.
The film portrays a character named Happi, who reminds us the value of smile. He reminds us that there is a soul beyond the body. He is a simple, down to earth man who used to sing at Cafe Bombay and now tries to 'fit in' Club Mumbai(as the Cafe Bombay changes its structure and becomes a much larger Club Mumbai). People like Happi exist but we need to seek them in their raw and original form otherwise we will lose them forever. This film will make you think and rethink and rethink...of the times we are living in.
Undoubtedly 5 stars !
