"CITYLIGHTS" is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language drama film directed by Hansal Mehta and produced by Mukesh Bhatt. The film features Rajkummar Rao and Patralekha in the lead roles. The movie is an adaptation of the British film "Metro Manila" and revolves around the struggle of a poor family from Rajasthan who moves to Mumbai in search of a better life.
The movie opens with the introduction of Deepak Singh (Rajkummar Rao), a poor farmer from Rajasthan who has a family to feed. Due to the lack of opportunities in the village, Deepak decides to move to Mumbai with his wife Rakhi (Patralekha) and their young daughter Mahi (Khushi Hajare). However, the family is faced with the harsh reality of the city, where they struggle to make ends meet and are forced to live in a small and dingy room in a chawl.
Deepak, who was promised a job in the city by his friend, finds out that the job does not exist, and he is left with no choice but to work as a security guard for a shopping mall. Despite working long hours, he is not able to make enough money to provide for his family's basic needs, and they are forced to live on the edge of poverty.
As Deepak's financial situation becomes increasingly dire, he is approached by a man named Vishnu (Manav Kaul) who offers him a job as a security guard for a club owned by a wealthy businessman. Deepak takes the job, but soon realizes that Vishnu is involved in shady business practices and that the club is a front for illegal activities. Deepak is caught between his desperate need for money and his moral compass as he navigates through a dangerous world of crime and corruption.
Meanwhile, Rakhi tries to make a living by working as a maid for a wealthy couple. She is treated poorly by her employers and is forced to endure their abusive behavior. Rakhi's struggles are compounded by the fact that she is constantly worried about her daughter's safety and well-being in the city.
As the family's situation becomes increasingly dire, Deepak is forced to make difficult choices to provide for his family. He must decide whether to compromise his values and join Vishnu's criminal operation or continue living a life of poverty and struggle. The climax of the film is both heart-wrenching and poignant, as Deepak's sacrifices for his family lead to a devastating conclusion.
The film is shot beautifully, capturing the gritty and chaotic nature of Mumbai's streets and the stark contrast between the city's wealthy and poor. The performances of the lead actors are outstanding, with Rajkummar Rao delivering a nuanced and powerful portrayal of a man struggling to provide for his family, and Patralekha shining in her role as a woman fighting to survive in a hostile environment.
The film's soundtrack is also noteworthy, featuring songs that complement the movie's emotional and dramatic tone. The song "Muskurane Ki Wajah" became an instant hit and is still remembered as one of the most popular songs of the year.
In addition to exploring the themes of poverty and struggle, "CITYLIGHTS" also delves into the complex issues of corruption and morality. The film questions whether people living in poverty are justified in breaking the law to survive, and whether the wealthy and powerful are immune to the consequences of their actions.
Overall, "CITYLIGHTS" is a powerful and emotional film that sheds light on the harsh realities of life for those living in poverty in Mumbai. The movie is a must-watch for anyone interested in Indian cinema or social justice issues.
