    Observe and you will never regret watching this. Well directed political drama. Emraan Hashmi has been fed the right character to prove his acting. Bold and Brilliant movie. Can't wait to watch the rest of the director's works.

    Extremely engaging and superbly paced, Dibakar Banerjee's Shanghai presents a picture of India that's not commonly seen in Hindi movies. An IAS' officer's investigation into an alleged murder is aided by a small-time porn filmmaker against the country's political powers. Its grim, gritty and real, well acted and deftly edited. A must-watch!
