One poor yet happy village family comprising of two spouses and a child head towards the city of dreams, Mumbai for a better living. However, the city of dreams turns out to be somewhat like a nightmare for the family.the storyline seems quite a common one but it surely has a lot of freshness and a true reflection of the dark reality.

 

this movie at one point of time seems a little sluggish and stretchy in it's approach but Citylights comprising of love, emotions, struggle, values, betrayal and greed has it all to make you impressed and to some extent positively stressed too seeing the plight of the otherwise happy family.

 

Rajkummar Rao as expected completely lives up to the expectation with his superb acting, and Patralekha also did all justice to her character.

To unfold some shades of the movie Citylights, Rajkummar Rao (Deepak) and his wife Patralekha (Rakhi) live a simple life with their little daughter Mahi at a village in Rajasthan. The sweet little family is blessed with all the abstract necessities like love and care for each other but things started getting bad for the trio when Rajkummar loses his small shop due to his inability to pay off the debtors. 

 

Having a Mumbaiwala friend's phone number in hand, Rajkummar and Patralekha then decide to go to Mumbai taking their daughter in hope of better days but things go even worse. With no trace of the friend in Mumbai, the couple struggle to get any work or even a shelter until Patralekha meets with a bar dancer who somehow manages a dwelling for the struggling family, besides a job for Patralekha in the bar. Eventually, Rajkummar also gets hold of a job as a security guard in a cash transporting agency. 

 

When, things started to look okay for the loving family, Rajkummar's associate in the agency (Manav Kaul) offers Rajkummar with a master plan to get rich overnight. Well, to know whether Rajkummar resists the enticement or he falls prey to greed, you have to watch the flick.
