When I saw the posters of the movie on BEST buses I thought I knew that yeh saali zindagi was a stereotypically bollywood with no substance. Couple of good reviews later I went to watch it.
Yeh saali zindagi doesn't have much of an interesting story but the cast more than makes up for it. They work splendidly together and individually. Irfan Khan's constant commentary is fresh but the constant use of the phrase yeh saali zindagi gets a little irritating. The harsh language may be an issue for some but it works with the plot.
Arunoday makes his presence felt in spite of the fact that the movie is mostly about irfan khan. The constant chemistry between his character kuldeep and aditi rao's shanti leads to one of the best kisses in Indian cinema (Emran Hashmi can now find a tutor in arunoday).
Chitrangda Lights up the screen with every scene she is in. All she needs to do is smile and even the women go weak in the knees. She uses her beautiful brown eyes in a way that makes the gangster movie all warm and feminine.
I definitely recommend this movie (not for your DVD collection though). It is fun, abusive and romantic all at the same time
