Watch this exclusive movie review of 'Mumbai Mirror' starring Sachiin Joshi, Mahesh Majrekar, Prashant Raj, Aditya Pancholi and Gihana Khan who makes her Bollywood debut with this movie. This weeks release cop drama Mumbai Mirror is about super maverick cop, Abhijit Patil, who lives by his own rules, from drinking on the job to sleeping with women to placing illegal bets to staging encounters. He has got his own posse to help him in his operations and his uncle, ACP Gaitonde who watches his back. One of the defining character traits of Abhijit is his inability to stand violence against women; this coupled with his maverick attitude puts him in the bad books of bar king, Shetty. As the story progresses, Abhijit inadvertently finds himself in the middle of two seemingly different shooting incidents. It is at this point that Abhijit realizes that everything is not how it seems and that he was made a scapegoat to cover up the operations of a covert drug cartel. What happens next is for the viewer to discover. The script is the strong point of the film with well developed characters and well defined motives. This helps in laying down a good base for the story and keeps the film from going off the track. the whole cast has been utilized brilliantly with Prakash Raj, Prashant Narayanan and Mahesh Manjrekar standing out for their contribution to their respective roles. Aditya Pancholi makes the character of the bookie, Durrani, his own. Sudesh Berry goes just a little overboard with his CBI Officer act but certainly constructs a quirky and memorable character. Debutant Gihana Khan plays the role of the vamp convincingly and Vimla Raman turns in a decent performance as the news reporter and the hero's love interest. As for Sachiin Joshi, he plays out his nuanced role earnestly, kudos to him for enacting a character that beats but gets beaten as well. -- Published on January 17, 2013
