Hansal Mehta, the director, deserves the highest praise for acting on his vision and making his second path breaking film (after Shahid) in two years. This has the best kind of music, which propels the story forward rather than acting as an impediment to the story telling. The debutante Patralekha matches him and even manages to outshine him in some scenes. He gives a superlative follow up performance to his class act in Shahid. Raj Kumar is easily the best new actor in Hindi industry. The contrast between the humane behavior of the so called vulgar elements of the society and the coldness, aloofness and predatory nature of the venerated high society is masterfully displayed. It casts light on the plight of the rural migrant who comes to the city with high hopes. Now she is determined to win him over before the wedding. It turns out that he is engaged to be married to someone else. He is kind, good looking, and is a prince. The worst and the best of human nature are vividly portrayed throughout the length of Citylights and it makes for some heart rendering and some truly uncomfortable moments. 2014 6.4 (8,439) This movie follows a young woman that meets the man of her dreams. I was hooked from the first frame and loved the unpredictable turns the script took. To put it plainly, this is the most consistently brilliant Hindi movie I have watched in all of 2014. You see, I am still recovering from the emotional, thrilling and dramatic sledgehammer which is Citylights. These expressions spring up in my mind as I begin to write this review.
