Movie shows disgusting and corrupt thinking. It triumphs in the diversity of India and how her people can come together because they just want something so succeed. More than anything this movie has a spirit beyond its celluloid. A tight script and apt background score, ingenious story telling and natural performances from everyone makes this small budget small duration movie carve out a place for itself.

It says the story of people who want to stand up despite falling down and being disgraced, those who want to take responsibility despite knowing that the chances of winning are slim, those who make tough emotional choices to let their loved ones go, story of people who despite their wealth and fame appear utterly helpless in front of fate.and so on Traffic is a story of a medley of characters, placed in different situations, with different background, united on a common mission,all abound in their errors and imperfections.

The movie is a commentary on human emotions, of failing, and then refusing to give up, about losing someone, but having the guts to let it go. Traffic should have been named 'An Indian Life', because its much more than a story of how Bombay traffic police successfully transports a heart from Mumbai to Pune within 2.5 hours, how they controllled the traffic, managed the crowd, and introduced myriad elements of an Indian life within those 120 minutes of movie.
