    Four characters from different backgrounds in the film are living hard in Mumbai.

      What I can chat with you in the future is how many clothes did you wash today

      A boring and withdrawn divorced male painter met a boring rich second-generation open American girl on a boring night. After one night, the artist said that he had drunk too much, and then he was deeply attracted by the story of a boring and lonely woman who was married. I'm bored and draw at home every day. After the rich second-generation girl was abandoned, she made friends with a handsome young man who was very bored because of poverty, and took pictures everywhere boredom every day....

      just chat

      It is indeed a movie that is different from the Indian movies we usually think of. I personally think this movie is more suitable for young literary and artistic people to watch, haha... The rain in the play can make the viewers feel that their hearts are peaceful Yes, don't watch it with a hurried attitude... I personally just read it every night before going to bed and read it in a few days. The plot is worth aftertaste, and aftertaste is like falling asleep, it's beautiful! I believe that...

      The delicate warmth of ordinary life, printed and dyed on the scroll of time

      "The Delicate Warmth of Ordinary Life, Printed on Time Paper" I watched "Mumbai Diary" at home. This is a movie that is very similar to a Japanese literary film, suitable for one person to watch. The title of "Mumbai Diary" makes people think, what content will be used to present a diary about a city? Use the thickness of history to show the great changes of the city from the past to the present? Or showcasing all kinds of landmarks dressed up with powerful lenses to attract people's...

      Are we not from Mumbai?

      The first time I came into contact with Indian movies was "Slumdog Millionaire" a few years ago. It's not ashamed to say. Oh, it turns out that Indian movies can be made so well. India is no longer the kind of dirty and messy visual sense in my heart, nor is it a stunt parade and Indian children who are so curious, and it is not a terrifying unarmed pick-up of a divine drama. bullet.
            I believe that almost many people are like me. The first time I came into contact with Aamir Khan was...

      Such a delicate and pure Indian literary film

      After watching an Indian film without any song and dance in one breath, it is not necessary for literature and art. The slums of Mumbai and the life of ordinary people alternately appear in the shot of the rich girl and in the narrative of the second girl in the video. The male protagonist's laundryman's eager eyes for the first woman and the second man's concern for the second girl in the video. The intertwining of the four people reflects the strong barriers of the class, the delicate warmth...
