BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Arun DX The movie "Traffic signal" was a good plot as you mentioned. But I would rather say it lacked the director's extract of every individual cast in it. Moreover, movie could have been well played with raw'ness it actually had in it. Director had tried to show almost every possible incident that we come across in a day to day traffic signal but lost his focus on the deepness of the plot . Over all I would say " it was almost over killed by too much but saved only by its subject ". The story could have been handled better if it was in safe hands. I will rate it 2.5/5. Just for the core subject and for the actors struggling to make use of their best opportunity in this movie.Dx..

Susan Wilson I hesitated to purchase this movie for fear of too much realism (or over-the-top melodrama), but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it really had a lot of heart, while showing a whole side of street life that's usually invisible to the passerby.I didn't feel that the subject was being 'candy-coated' either -- much of the awfulness and heartbreak of such an existence is graphically included, and the director stated that they 'did their homework' in bringing the realities of it to the screen. Kunal Khemu is a very talented actor, so very expressive, and not afraid to show emotion. I recommend it to anyone who wants a glimpse into this part of Indian society, and maybe a partial understanding of what this type of life is like for so many.

sandhirflora We know very well that there exists a racket or rather a complete mafia in those shady people you get to see a traffic signals but is that system so well defined? I doubt. Another thing, is there only angels that live at signals as depicted here or are there devils too, who sadly you don't see. But further I like to add that among new age directors Madhur Bhandarkar is one person who takes up issues and characters from daily life, and has guts to give them a voice. Sadly this time, that voice is lacking.Over dramatic, too verbose, noisy, too much structured with not much development in storyline till you reach climax are few things that has taken its toll. The result a half- baked product. When you don't have much too say and have no statement to make, this is what happened to even unconventional, offbeat cinema too. Don't just put interesting, relevant characters, but rather craft a screenplay around it, then only things make sense otherwise not. The height here is even an item song to please certain type of audience. . After few scenes, the narrative becomes repetitive. The subtle and sensitive approach towards the subject is not taken. Also film is replete with tele, close shots and in absence of establishment shots, the impact falls. Not every time a narrative that works for "Page three" works in every set up.Nonetheless, there are few plus points. The film is free from any vulgarity and can be watched with family. Few scenes viz. the ones with Ranvir sheorey are nicely done. Madhur Bhandarkar still deserves a pat on shoulder for exploring topics that are away from the vicinity of rotten, commercial cinema.

Mohit Ravi After profiling seedy bars (in Chandni Bar), scheming politics (Satta), high society parties (Page 3) and the business circus (Corporate), Madhur Bhandarkar now eyes the Traffic Signal. Well to start with 'Traffic signal' has portrayed the dark side Mumbai gullies .Why? Traffic signal, depicts what the relationship is between the "beggars" of the traffic signal and the politician's. Not only the politicians but also the underworld don. Its not only that about, but what traffic signals shows is how one suffers, lives, smiles, earn's money in these eerie streets of India.Kunal Khemu as 'Silsila' has done an impressive job. Obviously the dark make-up that he wears to show that he is a poor person is shown. Neetu Chandar as Rani has portrayed her character in a very tender and delicate manner. Noorie played by Konkana deserves a very big mention. Her role as a prostitute has been done with passion and complete fluency. Also a mention to the 'lady-boy' gay character who sells himself on the street.Here are oddities to the likes of eunuchs, handicapped and impaired beggars, lepers, street kids, drug addicts, and prostitutes, vendors selling flowers, fruits, sunscreens to sunglasses. Traffic signal is a tale of a person(S) who need not decide what they need to do in live but to decide how to live is these nasty streets .
