Hi Meetu,
Since it is a different movie hence editing should be perfect else the charm is lost to some extent.I remember Chocolate,an excellent movie but the editing was very bad.....
As far as the movie goes,it is fine since I remember one incident in my life where I handed 5 Rs/- to one beggar and damn,he smoke a cigerate with it.
Else Page 3 was exceptional,Corporate was very good and now Traffic Signal was Good.

Hi Himanshu,
Thanks for your comment! I had no complaints with the flow of the movie at all. I always find it very difficult to comment on editing. Until I see the parts that were chopped off, how can I say what they kept in the final cut of the movie was good or bad.
I actually liked this movie better than Page 3 and Corporate. The characters in Page 3 and Corporate had only two shades either bad or good. And the good eventually had to succumb to the bad. But, here there were many grey characters, right from Silsila to the Don and that's how real life is.
And yes, it is always a very difficult decision. Will the donation we make to the ones who need it, be used properly, go into the right hands? While your 5 Rupees went towards a cigarette, they had an equal chance of being used for the next meal to be shared by a whole family and the dilemma will always exist.
I will certainly check your blog.
Thanks!
