CityLights is movie taken from the original screen play of another award winning movie from Philippines - 'Metro Manila'. Now that I have seen both Manila and Mumbai.....I can co-relate the similarities....the sense of 'getting lost' in the mesmerizing lights of the city!!
The whole movie is based on the human urge to find that 'Utopian happiness' and the sacrifices and losses that one has to face to achieve that....if at all!
The movie revolves around Deepak and his family, which in hope of earning a livelihood comes to the dream city of Mumbai from their village. In the city they face the cruel world which doesn't allow them to settle in and soon they realize that they are stuck in a continuous fight between living for (life&family) and giving up to the evil world.
The plot at certain points of time becomes very exciting and keeps you guessing....and at last it does have a happy ending with a heavy sacrifice!
The national award winner, Rajkumar Rao (Deepak), is the main protagonist of the Movie and has again given an amazing performance!The good part of the Music is it's Lyrics which are so amazing.
City lights is one of those movies which will leave you with a heavy thought...hence in case you are planning to go for Friday night entertainer with your family, then this might not be the right movie...but at the same point of time, my advise to you is, you should not miss this movie...movies like these are not many.
