Lalbaug Parel - Zhali Mumbai Sonyachi


Time is changing rapidly and so are our movies. Lalbaug Parel is one such movie that will be remembered as a turning point in the history of Marathi movies for its powerful script and direction. Mahesh Manjrekar completes his wonderful hat-trick after giving us superb social-based movies like Mi Shivaji Raje Bhonsale Boltoy and Shikshanachya Aaicha Gho. The movie is all about the mill workers of Mumbai who have contributed equally to the development of this city but who never received any credit for it. On the other hand, the story takes us deeper into the yesteryears of this city when the city lifestyle and living patterns were very much different from what it is today.
