Mumbai Mirror is an upcoming 2013 Indian Hindi film
directed by Ankush Bhatt starring Sachiin J Joshi, Prakash Raj, Gihana Khan,
Vimala Raman, Aditya Pancholi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Raja Bherwani and Prashant Narayanan. The film is produced
by Raina S Joshi, written by Ghalib Asad Bhopali, and with music by Amjad Nadeem.
The movie exposes the nexus between powerful,
corrupt dance bar owners and the Mumbai police. Mumbai Mirror will release on
18 January 2013.
The film has Sachiin
J Joshi as Abhijeet Patil, Prakash Raj as Shetty, Gihana Khan as Rani, Raja Bherwani as Nikhil, Vimala Raman as Jia, Mahesh Manjrekar as
ACP Gaitonde, Aditya Pancholi as Durrani
and Prashant Narayanan as Manish.
After his debut in Aazaan, Sachiin J Joshi plays a quirky cop in
this realistic commercial potboiler. Mallika
Sherawat who agreed to play the lead opposite Sachiin J Joshi, walked out of the project. Later Gihana Khan was chosen as female lead.
Earlier it was reported that Nana
Patekar was approached to play the main villain, but Prakash Raj has been signed on for the pivotal role.
The soundtrack of Mumbai Mirror is composed
by Amjad Nadeem and the album
contains six tracks. Musicperk.com
rated the album 6.5/10. Lyrics are by Shabbir
Ahmed, Satya Prakash and Naveen
Tyagi.
The film has songs like Doom Pe Lakdi sung by Sukhwinder
Singh, Sachiin J Joshi, Nadeem Khan & Preeti & Pinky, Marjawa by Sonu Nigam, Govinda Ala Re
by Wajid Ali, Thumka by Shreya Ghoshal,
Blunder by Ritu Pathak and Marjawa
by Sayantani Das.
Mumbai Mirror is an action movie. In this film, Sachiin Joshi is seen packing some mean
punches and performing some hard-core action. Sachiin Joshi is the protagonist and Prakash Raj is the bad guy. It looks like Joshi is highly inspired by cop flicks like Dabangg and Singham.
People might go gaga over his fight sequences and desi dabangg kinda attitude.
Prakash Raj is seen indulging in the
same villainous antics and he proves that he’s an actor par excellence.
Produced by Viiking
Media & Entertainment Pvt Ltd, Mumbai Mirror is a cop-drama film,
which with its unique screenplay also manages to fall in the genres of suspense
and action.
The story of the film is interesting. The
protagonist of the film is Abhijeet Patil,
a police officer; and the film revolves around his rise and fall. Being a
police officer in this big-bad city called Mumbai can be quite some task.
Mumbai, contrary to the other parts of the country, works on its own unique
little philosophy. People here are the most ambitious and the risks taken for
the fulfillment of the same are the most dangerous. Everybody who comes here
starts running for an unknown race, and each one aspires to win it. This film
predominantly captures this struggle for the survival of the fittest.
Cop dramas have become very common nowadays and Mumbai
Mirror seems to be another one in the same genre with a twist in the
form of suspense factor that has been woven in the script. With no star power
to boast of, film solely depends on the storyline and the actors. Most of the
tracks in the film are situational with one item track and a romantic track as
fixtures. There are five original tracks composed by Anand Raj Anand and Amjad
Nadeem.
I’ll elaborate on the song and music of the film. Doom Pe Lakdi is a total Mumbaiya song,
which is being used to establish the protagonist. The number is sung by lots of
singers with varied experience.
Marjawa seems as if the track has
been made exclusively for Sonu Nigam.
He adds his velvety voice to the catchy music and delivers a hit. There is a
female version of the same song by Sayantani
Das who adds the required charm and sexiness to the romantic track in her
version. Shabbir Ahmed’s lyrics do
an apt job of communicating the feelings with good choice of words, especially
the Punjabi effect in both the versions. Both the versions can be tagged as the
best tracks in the album.
Govinda Ala Re has Mumbai as its backdrop.
Track keeps the tempo of the earlier tracks. It is a fun filled song with
interesting lyrics.
Thumka has Shreya Ghosal trying to add the same naughtiness and fun in this
track.
Blunder is a front seat track and
honestly Naveen Tyagi’s lyrics serve
the purpose of fulfilling the requirement of an item number in the cop drama.
Thus the songs and music of the movie are not bad.
You may watch the film Mumbai Mirror when it
gets released on 18 January 2013.
