‘Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi’ is a one-day journey of different people struggling in the city of Mumbai. The problem is that it appeals in flashes. It holds your attention in bits and spurts. Yet, there's no denying that debutant director Rakesh Mehta has filmed a number of sequences with expertise. Sadly, it's the writing that lets him down. Had the writing been cohesive and editing sharper, ‘Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi’ would've been notches above what it is right now. It's tough to have a start, a middle and an end for a single story, but the storyteller attempts to narrate as many as four stories in a single film. Now that's an achievement! The flick has an ensemble cast, with every actor trying to put his/her best foot forward. All in all, the movie is a fascinating one but the story plays a spoilsport!
