There are certain
films from which you have set expectations. A lot of action, some twists and
turns, heavy duty dialogue-baazi, confrontation between hero and the villain, a
couple of item numbers and some liberal dose of skin show that would round it all
up into a quintessential 'masala affair'. 'Mumbai Mirror' turns out to be one
such film.
Sachiin, a
cop with a chip on his shoulders, is out to clean up the system, both internal
as well as external to his own department. However he isn't naive to the
reality around him as well. He knows when to move ahead, take a step back or
just lie low. Metaphorically, this is demonstrated through a game of chess that
he plays with the gang-lord Prakash Raj. In this deadly play, many lives are
lost, secrets unearthed and dirty linen washed.
However
what makes 'Mumbai Mirror' interesting at numerous junctures is the way the
protagonist goes about understanding the gravity of the situation and holding
on to his anger instead of reacting recklessly. This is what makes the
proceedings engaging for a good duration, especially in the last 30 minutes of
the film when everything starts coming together.
The reason
why he is so trigger friendly, his numerous interactions with co-cop Prashant
Narayanan, the relationship he shares with his uncle, Mahesh Manjrekar, who is
again a cop, numerous face-offs that he indulges with Prakash Raj and the
manner in which he ultimately emerges victorious - all of this does results in
many spikes that the film enjoys.
However
what brings the film down are the item numbers that simply break the narrative.
Agreed that for a movie of this genre it was pretty much required that single
screen audience were kept happy. In fact this also forms a target market for
the film.
