Screened at the Mumbai Film Festival, BMW - Bombays Most Wanted is an upcoming cop-underworld thriller, presented by Devi Entertainment and the The Basu Bhattacharya Co. The man who directed 'Raakh', the thriller starring Aamir Khan has returned from his hybernation from Bollywood mainstream with BMW - Bombay's Most Wanted - Every city needs its hero. This one is a thriller, yet another offbeat film on the Mumbai cops and doesn't glorify the 'Encounter specialist' cop nor the underworld. Flow of the story is kept simple and a couple of times goes back and forth explaining the narration of the witnesses of the murder of a wanted gangster. Repeated versions from different characters appear confusing initially or say conflicting, but then as the events unfold, the incidents becomes self explanatory. For her Tv special, ‘Bombay’s Most Wanted – Crime and the City’ Nivedita N ....
