Shot in Bombay

Liz Mermin's outrageously funny documentary is hugely entertaining and rich in material. She manages to give insight into Bollywood film making on the set of "Shootout at Lokhandwala", the real incident on which the film is based and the real life court drama of a Bollywood star. Mermin who immerses herself in a world she hardly knows and comes up with a utterly original piece of work that can be enjoyed anywhere in the world whether you know anything about Bollywood or not. In the behind the scenes of the film she finds that the director outshines the big stars, by investigating the real incident she discovers how the cops imitate Hollywood cop films like "Dirty Harry", and finally one of the longest running court cases in India's history against Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt who has been on trial since 1993 that included several arrests and releases that allowed him to star in 54 films.
