City Lights

directed by Hansal Mehta, 2014 – Hindi – 126 min.

Deepak – a debt ridden man from a small town in Rajasthan – along with his family leaves the quiet rural existence to come to Mumbai in search of a brighter future. The dream of an improved life soon comes crashing down as he finds the city of lights harsh and unforgiving. With no job in hand and unable to provide for his family, Deepak’s wife Rakhee takes up a job of a bar dancer at a seedy restaurant. Driven by desperation and ultimately determination to overcome the odds Deepak eventually finds himself a job with perils far beyond the obvious. His immediate employer, Vishnu is a street-smart and seemingly regular man, but who unknown to Deepak, plots a devious plan, that includes Deepak and will endanger his and his family’s existence. Suddenly Deepak will find himself in a vortex of deceit and danger, struggling to keep his family and himself safe… Laced with the soul-stirring music of Jeet Ganguly (featuring the super hit track – Muskurane Ki …) – at heart, Citylights is a poignant love story between a husband and wife, between a man and his family. It is also a thriller that explores the depths of human nature – a drama about our world, our times and the ultimate emotion that drives every relationship – love.

City Lights realisé par Hansal Mehta, 2014 – hindi – 126 min

Deepak, un homme lourdement endetté vivant dans une petite ville du Rajasthan, et sa famille quittent la tranquille existence de la campagne pour rejoindre Mumbai et les promesses d’un avenir radieux. Le rêve se brise vite dans une ville dure et sans merci. Porté par la musique vibrante de Jeet Ganguly, City Lights est une émouvante histoire d’amour entre un homme et une femme, un homme et sa famille. C’est aussi un thriller qui explore les tréfonds de la nature humaine, un drame contemporain sur l’amour au cœur de toute relation.
