Not sure about this. Actually have seen Paris, Je T’aime and I could relate only a very few of the mini-stories to the city. Since, its Paris Je T’aime, Paris should have a say or be a character in the films right. But somehow it didnt quite work for me.
Hence feel the same about NYILY. We have an Indian version too - Mumbai Cutting. This is one film I am looking forward to. 11 films, 11 good directors, I just can feel the strories seeped into the Mumbai milieu even though I’ve just seen some snippets.
But I hope both the versions work.
