There is nothing to understand. The film is such a compilation of a series of events. Like news. I dont even call this fiction. Such an average film. So hyped...

I do not think it is documentary style. If it is documentary then why need waste this much time , energy and money for a movie? Just make a documentary for DD Doordarshan.
Camera and lights is also horrible . Really even simple camera like Canon D mark 2 can shoot beautiful video.
First thing they did big mistake by promoting this movie like a great film, people think it is some great patriotic movie.
I feel it is just like Ramgopal varma's AAG .
It is more bad than that movie.
It wasted lots of time and energy.
This movie is not at all patriotic, comedy , love or action or adventure.
What kind of movie is this?
Anyway I hope producer or director of this movie should not get heart attack by money loss.
Even small child of India can make good movie than this. Even a beggar and uneducated person of India can be good Prime minister than MMS and good president than (Rubber stamp)

Pls see Pat Gross' posting who is definitely not a Bengali... ...."For people whose literary aspirations would not rise beyond those of comics books, this movies is not for them. Please stick to AK, SRK and SK movies. There is nothing wrong in doing that. By being a ticket payer at the theater, you are still contributing to the industry as a whole. But please do not badmouth this film just because it is not dumbed down to your level of intellect. For some of us who appreciate meaningful and realistic cinema, this is like a breath of fresh air. I would gladly pay $10 to see this at least once more."

Our reviewers and viewers are not exposed to contemporary world cinema. Thats why such an average film like Shanghai gets such rave reviews. A film like Shanghai neither has the depth and layering of films like "The wind that shakes the barley" nor the entertainment value of silly films like Dabbang. If you want to watch good cinema , watch films like " once upon a time in Anatolia" by Nuri Belgi celyan or" A separation".. You will understand how shallow and immature Shanghai s film making is.

Mr Ruchita...that comment shows how narrow your thinking is....Whenever someone praise someone else you go and try to find their origin and ethnicity....what a shame...By the way do you also think the same way when a Marwari praises another Marwari or Punjabi to another Punjabi or Tamilian to another Tamilian and for that matter all other states/ethnicity??

For people who are expecting it to be another Kahaani, that it is not. The context, pacing and the narrative elements are all different. At the risk of sounding close to defending Raja Sen, I must say it is probably one of the more important Indian movies to come out in recent times, possibly with more teeth than "Rang De Basanti" and "Swadesh" combined. For people whose literary aspirations would not rise beyond those of comics books, this movies is not for them. Please stick to AK, SRK and SK movies. There is nothing wrong in doing that. By being a ticket payer at the theater, you are still contributing to the industry as a whole. But please do not badmouth this film just because it is not dumbed down to your level of intellect.

Indian film makers in the past have made much better films on similar subjects. This is so average.
