>I saw this movie yesterday nite.... I had gone with a mindset that its not usual love story n it will have sad end....
This movie is about a traffic signal in mumbai n how life of lots of people depend on the same.
Its a well made movie with a very realistic look.... though ending is abrut.
A traffic signal where people beg, sell, prostit*tes and lives life...
A very busy hour of traffic n at traffic signal u r in ur car n someone says u have a flat car by the time u just look at it ur mobile is stolen..... wow... thats so real. it happens rite?

A good ref to dena bank n lena bank...
How two gajarawali fight to sell there gajara to customer.
How a cow is stopping the traffic so that it gives more income to people invloved...
How a drug addict asks people for money n good trusting people give the same not knowing their money is used for additction.

There r such small small things that u can see which r just real.
Each person has to give some amount of money to a street gunda silsila, named after the movie (kunal khemu) who in turn gives the same to zafarbhai which in turn goes bhai jaan (sudhir mishra) n which in turn goes thro hawala to dubai ............. the full course of money transfer n big industry (180 crores) is well established.
In this day to day struggle to live life, there is romance one between silsila n rani (nitu chandra)
and one more different romance between drug addict domnique (ranvir shorey) n prostit*te noorie(kokana sen sharma)
How there lives change when a builder wants to extend a planned flyover so that his building will sell n traffic signal becomes its victom.
A honest BMC engineer (Manoj Joshi) is killed n silsila becomes a part in the same unknowingly.
The first half of movie establishes all different characters in the movie in detail n in the second half the plot happens but to me the end was abrupt n unexpected........ I thought the movie had still more potential then what it gave. End disappointed me a bit but still it was a different end not very sad as madhurkar trademark.
As for the performance
Kokana as prostit*te n a person who loves a drug addict is really superb, she is very good actress. She had difficulty speaking all the bad words for the movie while making but it does not show at all she is natural.
I like Ranvir shory in this movie he is a actor can deliver different types of role be it funny in khosla ka goshla be it charsi in this movie his eyes were showing he was addict good acting.
Kunal khemu as silsila shows he has potential.
Neetu chandra was good.
All others acted n gelled with the movie very well.
Music was ok.
The editing n direction was really good no boring moments in the movie it was gripping......
Next time when we stop at traffic signal we will wonder thinking abt the movie also at least for the time being.
