“Salaam Bombay!” is Mira Nair’s first feature film. It takes
a lot of courage to make a first film on such a complex subject. This certainly
tells the caliber of Mira Nair as a director.
The movie is a story, a metaphorical reality check of the
darkness that lies behind the bright big city life. The movie requires a bit of
patience to watch. But once you watch the entire movie, it certainly hits you
hard. The movie as a whole does make an impact. Especially when you watch it
after “Monsoon Wedding” a lighter movie from the same director, an extremity in
terms of contrast.
As a whole, Salaam Bombay is hard hitting because even in a
fictitious way the movie tells you the truth.
My Rating- 2.5/5
