The movie tells five different stories of
people who were deeply affected by the bomb
blasts. The cast includes genius actors like
Paresh Rawal, Irrfan Khan and Kay Kay Menon,
all of whom (according to reviews) have outdone
themselves with great performances, something
that a subject of this nature offers ample
scope for. Soha Ali Khan too, maybe for the
first time in her career, has received genuine
critic appreciation for her performance. Madhavan
has also done creditably well amongst the
seasoned performers. Mumbai Meri Jaan is an
offbeat subject that should definitely connect
to the people of Mumbai.
While at the other end of the spectrum,
Ram Gopal Verma released his Phoonk. Touted
to be the first ever Indian movie based
on black magic, the movie has managed to
garner more than a fair share of attention
prior to its release, courtesy its subject.
