Moh Maya Money movie director: Munish Bhardwaj

Aman (Ranvir Shorey) is a young, hungry real-estate agent who wants it all, and doesn’t care what he has to do to get it. His wife Divya (Vidushi Mehra) works in news television and is working through her own personal and professional compulsions.

Munish Bhardwaj’s debut feature ‘Moh Maya Money’ is set in Delhi, nailing a certain sector of the Capital with an unerring eye, and giving us these two very Delhi creatures: there are hundreds of Amans you can encounter, working several hustles on the side, juggling so many balls at the same time that they are in the danger of forgetting that they can trip and fall anytime. And there are so many Divyas too, trying to balance stresses at work and home and a marriage which has begun creaking.

The film also feels very apt, in these tough times of demonetisation, with its leitmotif of greed — all that unaccounted for money that Aman covets has been washed through the complicated innards of the real-estate business, where the difference between black and white blurs and is stark at the same time.
