Kahaani Grasped The Spirit Of Kolkata

I've seen the movie
'Kahaani' yesterday. The film grasped the spirit of Kolkata very well.
One can feel the intensity of a metro city sitting anywhere in India
through this cinema. Durga puja, gorgeous immersion of Ma Durga, Kumortuli, the
Metro rail, morgue, lanes and by-lanes of the city, trams, taxi,
corporate houses - blended well with the smart
scenario. And the people of Kolkata - from the running-water carrier
little Vishnu to corporate magnet, from cops to common men - all the
perspectives depicted well in the film. Hence, Kolkata one of the hero
of Kahaani.
And another hero Vidya Balan.- She again proved her excellence of
acting in the film. By the manner, she managed to roam within Kolkata,
it seemed that her love affair with the city is a very old one.
And the story is a crime thriller, loaded with suspense.-
