Arun (Irfan Khan) has to save Preeti (Chitrangda Singh), the woman he loves. But for this, firstly, he has to save the man Preeti loves – Shyam, the future son-in-law of a powerful minister. Meanwhile time is running out for Kuldeep, a young gangster who is on his last job. As his wife threatens to walk out on him completely and begins to suspect that she is going into the arms of another man. The job has gone haywire as Kuldeep is still not aware that the minister’s daughter is off and now she doesn’t care whether Shyam lives or dies and more importantly neither does the minister who Kuldeep hoped would pay the ransom! The film rides a roller-coaster towards a shattering climax where everyone has to fend for life and love

First the good : great story-line, interesting characters, competent acting, apt dialogue. There are lots of characters here, and each of them gets his/her own back-story; they are built up as real, flesh-and-blood people with their own little quirks and problems – bravo ! Irfan Khan and Saurabh Shukla are outstanding. Sushant Singh is wonderful; in him evil has a very middle-class face. Chitrangada Singh is good as a wishy-washy woman who doesn’t know where her heart is.

Now, for the flaws. While the direction is passable, “Ye Saali Zindagi” does flag a bit; I’m going to blame the screenplay. This film could have moved faster, been shorter, and a more condensed version of events wouldn’t have hurt. . .
