City Of Gold Movie Review

Poster



Director: Mahesh Manjarekar
Cast: Shashank Shende, Seema Biswas, Veena Jamkar, Sachin Khedekar, Siddharth Jadhav, Satish Kaushik, Kashmira Shah etc



I don’t know how to start my review.. Seriously, I thought of starting like “Damn good work, man!!”, but I don’t know what to write..
Mahesh Manjarekar is one with enormous talents, really!! What a movie, man!! Each character has got depth, brilliant performances, apt lighting, and a tight screenplay. The only drawback to say is that, the movie seems a little bit dramatic at places. Otherwise, the movie deserves 10/10.

Set in the Mumbai of the 1980s, the movie deals with the mill workers’ life , who made the city into what it is now.
The movie is executed brilliantly, damn good!! Mr Manjarekar should direct more movies, we miss your talent, sir!!
The casting is perfect, the performances are very good, Many people are newcomers, I guess from the theatre background. The guys performed well, Siddharth Jadhav was awesome as Speedbreaker. The girl who played Manju was awesome. Seema Biswas is just a WoWWW!!! Excellent performance. Sachin Khedekar was good. Satish Kaushik’s role was very good. Kashmira Shah has got a meatier role to perform this time, and she proves that she can do well in terms of acting also. The rest of the cast was good, the ad-wala guy who played Jignesh was good.

No scope for the music, except for a semi-item song in Marathi, during the credits.

On the whole, Mahesh Manjarekar is a talented director, and he proves it once again in this movie. Very well made movie, watch it!!!

8.5/10
