Producer: Sangeth Sivan.

Director Mahesh Pandey, Music: Shamir Tandon,

Cast: Ali Asgar, Chetan Pandit, Sharbani Mukherjee, Vijay Mishra, Mayank Sharma

The Hindi film industry has suddenly turned to realistic cinema to depict the gory details of some of the most horrific events that have taken place in various parts of India. Thus after a film on 26/11,we now have a film based on the incidents that were based on the differences between the North Indians and the Mumbaikars that took place in Mumbai some time earlier this year.

The film 332 Mumbai to India deals with such real life incidents that took place while this sentiment of differences between the North Indians and the Mumbaikars taking place was in full swing.

Thus the film has Rahul Raj a young guy who hi jacks a bus with the no.332. The bus was scheduled to travel from Andheri to Kurla and was full of passengers from various walks of life, as is always the case with any bus.

However the story revolves around the lives of the people who are stuck in the bus. There is an auto rickshaw driver, a couple, a few students and a writer.

The movie does have some very gory details and meaningful dialogues, but some of the bold and original ones have been beeped which spoils the total impact of the movie. The world of realism is yet alive with the characters playing their parts quite convincingly but there is still room for more.

The overall effect of the movie comes across as quite a narrative with the plots getting quite muddled up. The problems faced by the North Indians and the sentiments that were hurt does come across with some impact on the audiences mind. So if youre in the mood for some reality dose then this one is for you.
