City of Gold is a 2010 Indian political thriller film. The film was Mahesh Manjrekar's 17th film, having previously directed critically acclaimed films such as Astitva and Viruddh... Family Comes First. It was adapted from Jayant Pawar's Marathi play, Adhantar, with Pawar going on to co-write the film's screenplay.[1] The film explores the life of Mumbai's mill workers after the Mumbai mills shut down in response to the Great Bombay Textile Strike of the early 1980s.[2][3]
The film opened to mixed reviews, though it was commended for its themes, and acting.[4][5]
It was simultaneously shot in Marathi as Lalbaug Parel, while the Hindi version was released as City of Gold.[6]
