Madhushree Dutta: Gutsy Mumbai Journey

National Award winning director Madhusree Dutta's presents much-admired Seven Islands and a Metro, which talks about the city Mumbai. Madhusree has presented the film in a thought provoking manner through the eyes of Ismat Chugtai. The narrator sees Mumbai from the eyes of the men who hang on the sky to clean the glass windows of skyscrapers, how does a monsoon evening sky look like from the point of view of an aspiring migrant entering the city by train, the hypnotism of Bollywood, the aspiration of a mega-metropolis, the possibilities in a multi-cultural city encourages a horde of single women from the sub-continent to jump into the adventure that is living in Bombay.

The film that has opened to rave reviews is a tribute to the spirit of Bombay, which is fascinating and scary at the same time. As a stunt woman from Bollywood (who worked in sholay, Mard, Sita aur Gita etc.) she says, 'humein muhn chhupane ka 2000 milta hai aur muhn dikhane ka 1000.' (We get Rs.2000 for hiding our face and Rs. 1000 for showing it).

The film unfolds in a very matter of fact manner through the eyes of Ismat Chugtai and Sa'adat Hasan Manto the two legendary writers who lived in this metropolis. This non-fiction features Mumbai in a very novel way for the city dwellers.
