Seems more like a personal outburst of a person who worshipped Z and hates Dibakar. The critique against the movie per se is unsubstantial and irrelevant. It is naive to expect a sole narrative of dissent and corruption, as the movie is, to encompass the vastness and diversity that exist in reality out there. And there are no real heroes of messiahs in the movie. Its the closest that a film noir has ever come to terms with post modern realities of India while keeping the tension afloat. Its' a commendable piece of cinema notwithstanding the views of an insecure leftist about the political relevance of Indian cinema and the politics of the film-maker.
Mr Mihir, at least Bannerjee had the guts and idea to make this movie. Did you? What have you contributed in terms of highlighting the systems constant loot of the city and common man? Were you out on the streets yesterday when a handful of common folk protested the Mumbai police recent high handed ways?

Mr. Space Ghost? movies was not good. There are several movies which tell stories about corruption, and politics in much better way than this. It was very slow and dull, and very boring, when i went in theatre after two days of movie release only 15 to 20 people in were their in theatre to watch it. There are lot serials and tv programme which depicts corruption and politics much better than this movie.
