Mumbai Salsa is a 2007 Indian film directed by Manoj Tyagi, starring Vir Das, Linda Arsenio, Manjari Fadnis and Dilip Thadeshwar.
Four pairs who meet accidentally in a Mumbai bar called Mumbai Salsa and get hooked on each other for life. The film captures the urban qualities of life and love.
Maya Chandhok lives a wealthy lifestyle in Delhi along with her parents. Refusing to buckle down to her mother's demands to get married, she re-locates to Kolkata, obtains her MBA, and then goes to reside in Mumbai where she gets a job in a bank, and shares a flat with two roommates, Zenobia and Neha. She meets with Sanjay and both fall in love. Then one day he dramatically and publicly dumps her. A few days later she meets with Rajeev Sharma, who is heartbroken after his fiancée, Pooja, dumped him to re-locate to America, and both are attracted to each other. She is delighted when he proposes to her, but her delight turns sour when he asks her to re-locate with him to Singapore, drop her career, and be a home-maker for the rest of her life. Maya must now make up her mind amidst chaos and heartbreak that also threaten to tear apart lives of both Neha and Zenobia, who are also dating Rajeev's friends, Karan Kapoor and Shaji, while conservative Tyagraj, Rajeev's pal, struggles with his feelings about a much liberated Caucasian co-worker, Pamela.
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated the film two out of five and wrote that "On the whole, MUMBAI SALSA is targeted at the youth living in Mumbai mainly".[2] A critic from The Times of India rated the film three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "EASY to label this one as Metro, part two. But Mumbai Salsa has a freshness and an innovative feel that makes it watchable despite the fact that it follows Metro's tale of sizing up the cosmosexual lifestyle in New Age yuppie India".[3]
