City of Gold

Mahesh Manjrekar is all out making movies on true stories and the mood is rebellious.
This movie is a hindi-remake of the film Lal baug paral. You could watch the marathi original too for better dialogues (So I've heard)

This movie is based in Mumbai. It is a story about the mill workers and their plight when mills close down because of the owner's greed. The owner's close down mills to sell the land to builders making commercial buildings and multiplexes etc. The workers are not paid their wages and not even their pension. The movie delves into details of one such mill and the chawl the workers lived in.
Their lives, their joys, their desperate moves for money to save their loved ones is all depicted very well in this movie. It is the reality..the harsh reality which makes you want to go out and scream and think...that all the hardships we face today are not as big as what people faced earlier and even face today in small villages in our very own country India.

The movie is very well directed and the story telling is brilliant. All the actors have done a good job.
All in all the movie is a serious flick and is a must watch.
