In his latest offering CityLights, Hansal Mehta turns to his favourite protege Rajkummar Rao to narrate a story of love and longing in the city of dreams. Deepak Singh comes to Mumbai from Rajasthan with his wife Rakhi and daughter Mahi.

Deepak believes his values and morals will give him an opportunity to earn a decent living in the city, however destiny has other plans for him. Rakhi turns to dancing in a bar to support her family as Deepak manages to find a job in a security agency trafficking boxes with black money and belonging of high end clients. What happens next and where the story takes these characters is where CityLights excels.

Both Rajkumar Rao and Patralekhaa deliver expemplary performances. Music is in sync with the mood of the film.

However, the pace in the second half slackens and the story sort of hits a road block.

All in all, CityLights is deep, dark and extremely depressing. But Mehta deserve full marks for going all the way and giving us a glimpse of the city's dark underbelly where dreams are often shattered and broken.

We give it 4 out of 5 stars!
