#MumbhaiConnection Rating: * An interesting plot idea run asunder by some Amateurish ‘Execution’
& poor performances. About a salesman coming up with an outsourcing plan
for the Mafioso, it gets needlessly embroiled in existential dilemmas and loses
the plot! #RafiqBatcha #AtlantaNagendra #Cinepolis #ShamrockPR #Shantanu

What
’s with this penchant that NRI’s have for Bollywood fame and
glory? This film ‘Mumbhai Connection’ is produced by a NRI who also stars as
the main lead in the film, directed by two-hit kannada films old Atlanta
Nagendra. This is basically a Hinglish film where the characters speak in a
mixed lingo familiar to those from the cities. Propelled by an interesting plot
idea- one of a registered IT company providing back-end ‘execution’ activities
for the Mafioso clients they’ve been hitherto providing website services to,
this film fails to justify that initial promise in it’s unappealing amateurish
narrative.

this film fails to justify that initial promise in it’s unappealing amateurish
narrative.
The best salesman of Atlanta Faisal Khan(Rafiq Batcha) loses his
job, inexplicably, and sets about on a job hunt before his H1B visa expires.
Lucky for him he bumps into an old friend at a desi party, who offers him a
sales manager’s position at BA-IT. Without further ado, Faisal is well
ensconced in the job and searching for clients. But none are forthcoming. In
the interim he realizes that the company he is working for provides services to
the Mafioso. Since his job is once again on the line, along with his lady love
Tara(Alieesa) and his family in India, he has to come up with an idea that will
boost BA-IT’s business and set him free to live his life away from the shadow
of crime. Things get murkier when Kal(Srini Tyamagondlu), his immediate boss
informs the owner of the company, a Don in Mumbai referred to as Bhai, that
Faisal is involved in a double-cross. The free for all melee at the end is par
for the course.
There’s not much coherence in the narrative with the script
going all over the place without fleshing out appropriate reasons for what
transpires on screen. The takes are shoddy, the dialogues and delivery pretty
much agonizing and the performances, distinctly amateurish. The background
score and music is also not very appealing. This one should have been a
straight-to-video product.
