I think Madhur has excelled once again with traffic signal. Be warned this is a not your regular Bollywood movie but a very different affair. Unlike Page3 and Corporate this one walks one the edge of being a serious documentary... Full review

Critics Reviews
Real Bollywood
Traffic Signal can be described as a compilation as it has only four original tracks and one music composition.
The first one, sung by Kunal Ganjawala and Yogita Pathak, makes you feel they are crooning a song while suffering from a slipped disc.

It's amazing to see Bhandarkar create humane relationships within traffic snarls and to consider the possibility of street people bonding beyond the rituals of day-to-day existence.
As in the director's earlier works, the performances by known and unknown actors carry the narrative to the pinnacle of credibility.

Business of Cinema
Minute details such as mannerisms and the language used are well brought out through the film.
Noori (Konkona Sen Sharma), a prostitute, is busy making men proud of their manhood and is too busy to acknowledge the love of doped out Dominique (Ranvir Shorey).

And really, there's nothing more disappointing than a pointless film.
Konkona Sen Sharma is dependably good.
Ranvir Shorey is truly impressive, and one hopes to see him in meatier and more challenging roles.

Traffic Signal' lacks all the ingredients of a masala entertainer.
A film like 'Salam-E- Ishq' with just 12 characters failed miserably and Madhur has 60 characters at his command.
no thumping background music and no great costumes.
