11 prominent Indian directors were assigned to make 10 minute shorts about Mumbai as Paris was portrayed in "Paris, Je T'aime". The problem with this kind of films are the quality is all over the place and 11 prominent directors don't make one great film. However there are few that outshine the rest. In this film, the best shorts are Revathy's "Parcel", Anurag Kashyap's "Pramodbhai 23", Shashank Ghosh's "10 Minutes", Rahul Dholakia's "Bombay Mumbai, Same Shit" and Sudhir Mishra's "The Ball." The upside of these kind of films are that you don't get trapped in a bad film too long. The stories are universal and true for most big cities in the world where the ultra rich reside next to the ultra poor. YRCinema's coverage of Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.
