I just watched this movie today. I have not gone in theater with some mind setup that I will see this and that, but in real meaning I was willing there a lot to see and director did the job fantastically. No errors there. He gone through the subject so intelligently that you cannot find a place where he slipped out of the main theme. Every moment and movement of the movie showing you the motive of the director of making this movie to hit on the right place of equality of different religions which is mainly Hindu Muslim.
The thing which I like the most is the bomb blast scene that made a huge impact on me as it is a short budget movie and they made i can say a shocking and horrifying scene there. This is i am talking in technical manner.
There were quite good emotional moments like hitting on media how badly they react to the situation and what happens when it came on to the people who are the part of the media (that made people clap in the theater). There were lot of places where people were clapping, that I can say was all for the director only as he is the one who handled the movie so brilliantly.
Overall, I must say this should be watched by every Hindu Muslim and others too, should be tax free soon that all get a bite of it. Anyways it is going to be in my DVD collection.
Excellent Work Nishikant

This is one of the best drama terrorism movie ever made.The whole story is concentrated on five people's life after the bomb attack in mumbai.Every character is so real.We can feel that the all characters are live and we know them.The screenplay of this movie is just awesome.Paresh raval has done his best work till date.Paresh Raval(Tukaram Patil) is retiring from the job of policeman and then the bomb blasts occur in the city.And how this bomb blast effect these five people's life is the story of this movie. At the end the speech of Paresh Raval(Tukaram Patil) covers the whole theme of the movie.Nishikant Kamat has done brilliant job as director. If you like the drama movie then you must see this masterpiece.
How many time do you get to see movies which actually touch your heart not just once but through each and every character of the movie ? Well.. Mumbai Meri Jaan is one of those movies. The beauty of the movie is the realistic characters, realistic dialogs, good story, powerful acting, amazing direction, emotional climax and the message it conveys. This story starts from the day 7/11 when Mumbai serial blasts happened and ends after a week from that. The movie tells about the impact of the 7/11 bomb blasts on people's life, how it affected every character's life and finally how they manage to keep the 'Mumbai Spirit' alive. Excellent performances from Irfan Khan, KK, Soha Ali Khan, Paresh Rawal and Madhavan. A movie that truly deserves to be Tax-free and best movie of the year award. My personal second choice will be 'Aamir'. I salute the 'Mumbai Spirit'.
A brilliant movie that showcases few days before and after the Mumbai serial blasts of 2006 in the lives of five different, unrelated characters: Software Engineer Madhavan, constable Paresh Rawal, roadside coffee vendor Irfan Khan, TV reporter Soha Ali Khan, and a Hindu fanatic Kay Kay Menon, and everyone has lived to expectations. Each parallel plot is a story in itself that becomes interesting as the movie progresses. The movie touches many issues: Soha being interviewed by colleagues about her fiancé's death, the loser constable reflecting on his idle police service at retirement, software engineer considering fleeing the country, Hindu extremist bridging the Hindu-Muslim divide. Light traces of humor can be found in Kay Kay's anger, Paresh Rawal's sadness, and Irfan's helplessness. The blast scene is a bit gory and painful to watch, but could be very close to reality. Amazing talent shown by director Nishikant Kamath in his first Hindi movie after just one Tamil and one Marathi movie. Though a bit heavy, a must watch. The end leaves you lighter with the evergreen song from CID that gave the movie its name.

a truly outstanding movie...it touches your heart...and forces u to think about it...a must watch....it should be made compulsory for media whose standards have fallen....a movie which can make u cry....which salutes the spirit of mumbai...the spirit of India...the spirit of humanity....and it does so through the lives of ordinary persons to whom we can relate...a movie with excellent acting from one and all....the best part of the movie is never over the board...there is a bit of all the protagonists in all of us...the movie is so realistic and soul stirring and when u leave theater your eyes are moist not from sadness but from a sense of pride in the spirit shown by mumbaikars
