Traffic' crawls on emotional route

The film engages you in its message and makes you laud the Mumbai Traffic Police, but does not really entertain you. Somewhere, although you feel for the characters, you are not one with them as they fail to strike an emotional chord with you.The music by Mithoon in the two songs "Neki ki raahon pe" and "Kuch der sahi theher ja tu yahaan" are soulful and mesh well with the theme of the film.As a director, the late Rajesh Pillai is true to the subject of the film, with no needless digressions or commercial elements, maintaining the sanctity of the theme, yet he failed to recreate the magic of the original.Overall, moving on a smooth even path this "Traffic" seems to crawl, leaving you exasperated for some speed.
