CITYLIGHTS - "Take a bow Rajkummar Rao"

GOOD - Rajkummar's to the core fusion of Deepak's character (I can't forget the "drunk" scene and his superbly delivered performance throughout the film); Another appreciable find is debutante Patralekha (a perfect choice for the role); Apart from all, one man comes out of the blue and delivers a power-packed performance along with the lead cast, the name is Manav Kaul (Bitto Mama of Kai Po Che) and you're going to love his job; Flawless screenplay (though it dips a bit in the middle portion); Beautiful picturisation.
BAD - Some parts of the film looks cliched (Beer Bar sequences); the story in the middle portion seems to be going nowhere; YES, some people may find it a bit more depressing than usual.
Citylights can be easily counted among the best films made on poverty in the big cities. Hansal Mehta once again proves his worth to the industry after 'Shahid'. The best part is "Bhatt Camp" has officially adapted the story from 2013 Filipino film Metro Manila and even gave credits to its director and writers (strange!) RECOMMENDED!
