The three stars are primarily for the brilliant performances by some of the actors in this ensemble cast. The film narrates the stories of four people. They have no connection at all but meet with a common end. In a nutshell the film is about the 9/11 tragedy.
There are lots of emotions packed into the film and the best part about it is that it's about real people. No one is larger than life. So in a way, it's a slice of life. The film doesn't make a great impact in the beginning when the stories of the four different characters begin unfolding on screen. But the climax is a real jolt and makes you look back at the film in a different manner. The film sort of grows on you. That's the best part about the film. The film also becomes interesting from the point Paresh Rawal enters the scene.
Now for the stories.
Story 1: Rajubhai (Paresh Rawal) is a small-time organizer of foreign shows. It costs an aspiring dancer or singer a minimum of 12 lakhs to be a part of his show. Old flame Tara (Ratna Pathak Shah) mortgages her house so that Rajubhai could include her only daughter in his show. Rajubhai finds himself fathering a wide eyed, innocent girl on her first trip abroad.
