Tripping down with clichéd comedy, romance and action based Bollywood flicks should have really chafed down our spirits. Merely, film critics miffed up putting concentric verdicts – Beating the same bush with not more than 2 stars. Well, Bollywood witnessed aspiring filmmakers striking their best chords with realistic Mumbai based themes. Mumbai – Cosmopolitan City vividly did experience the best and worst aspects: be it changing phase of commercialization or the woe-stricken bomb-blasts leading to pitiable scenarios. Precisely, certain filmmakers strode on these roots not just winning laurels, but taking on resurgence of Bollywood.

The most horrendous scenario of 7/11 train blasts in Mumbai would never fade from the pages of everyone's life. It had intensively deteriorated innocents' lives from the topmost tycoon to a platform cobbler. Nishikanth Kamat's 'Mumbai Meri Jaan' was one such perfect illustration depicting terrorizing incident from perspectives of various characters. The film was too close to everyone's heart and 'A Wednesday' was not an exception. Although, Director Neeraj Pandey hadn't strained getting the flick inclusive of bomb blasts sequences, he had a different show. Of course, it was not such a high-budget project with any Khans or Kapoors. It centered on an individualistic frustration towards atrocious terrorists who are so merciless.

On the pars, films based on happening realities at Contemporary Mumbai are swaying with good responses across box-offices. Take for instances, previous week's releases: Hulla and Sona Uravashi's Saas Bahu Aur Sensex. These films had no such aspects of violently glued bloodsheds, but drew clear pictures of Dream City, land of hopes and dreams. Saas Bahu Aur Sensex had the varying phase of India, particularly Mumbai on changing interest of women. Skipping from Saas-Bahu shows to share markets is what coeval ladies of Mumbai opt for. Well, at the other end, Jaideep Varma's satirical comedy 'Hulla' had some knotty incidents of an individual in day-to-day's life.
