Nope,Gali Gali Chor Hai has no earthly connection with the 1985 James Ivory production: 'A Room With A View'. Though there is little dispute that director Rumy Jafry did have a viewpoint and vision, that's now translated into his anti-corruption flick showcasing Akshaye Khanna and Shriya Saran, packed with fun and canny one-liners. Ajit Ramachanddran returns back uncorrupted…
 
It's a palatial sight. And while you're ogling away at the edifice straight out of the 'Pink City' of India…snatches of conversation in Marathi filter into your ears, reminding you that you're not truly in Jaipur, but still present body and soul in Maharashtra! Hah, chuck that confusion, coz' here's the clarity.

Fact is, that you've been invited to the filming of a song track of Gali Gali Chor Hai, deftly in progress at Karjat, Maharashtra. And while producer Nitin Manmohan's white-haired poodle runs playfully on the green turf, director Rumy Jafry is busy cross-checking details so that filming proceeds minus hiccups.

Trigger Point
All gung-ho over his latest effort, Jafry states, "The film's title Gali Gali Chor Hai says it all. Corruption is present in every street, in every layer of our day-to-day life. The film is a comedy and every common man will identify with it, because he gets trapped in a system that is already corrupt. It is highly coincidental that the film has come along at a point when a social crusader like Anna Hazare is raising his voice against corruption and the topic has assumed national importance today. My film also asserts that a common man should protest against corruption."
Although the message of chucking bribery and upgrading morality gurgles as an undercurrent, Jafry is swift to point out that his movie is far from "preachy." Rather, he asserts that the canny one-liners and witticisms that Gali Gali Chor Hai is replete with, will strike a chord with audiences and win hearts.

Funny Bag!
Narrating a funny anecdote linked to the filming of his flick, Jafry reveals, "We were shooting in Bhopal and there was a scene in which Akshaye (Khanna) is trying to get rid of a bag, but it gets stuck to his scooter and comes along. The bag was stuck to the scooter and I rode that scooter to the filming locale which was quite close. Akshaye followed in the car behind. But many people thought it my bag had actually fallen off… and I had so many people almost stop and tell me to take care of my fallen bag!" (laughs).
Describing the canning of sequences at Bhopal as "one big happy experience," the writer-director, famed for penning several David Dhawan giggle-riots, ferrets out yet another vignette centred around Mugdha Godse.
