The convention of setting the film in a densely packed location like this allows the director to examine the lives of more characters than most movies (think of Altman’s dizzying and delightful Gosford Park for a similar arrangement), but it certainly is an ambitious choice for someone making their first film. That’s an awful lot of storylines for the director and scriptwriter – Mahesh Manjrekhar, who also does a turn as the ineffective thug Munnabhai – to keep straight (and resolve).
