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.

For her Tv special, ‘Bombay’s Most Wanted – Crime and the City’ Nivedita N ....
