Mumbai Meri Jaan (2008) *MQ*

A must watch !

“When you feel like crying, just urinate”, says a senior constable to his subordinate in the film adding, “That way you drain the excess water from your body”. This line acts as a metaphor to the pissed-off attitude of an average troubled citizen, about which he chooses to do nothing. That gives the gist of Mumbai Meri Jaan , a film that touches the lives of an assorted array of cosmopolitan citizens, in a way never witnessed before.

Cast: Paresh Rawal, Soha Ali Khan, Kay Kay Menon, R. Madhvan, Irfan Khan
