The Mumbai chawl—over-crowded, impinging on privacy and filled with characters— has long offered a colourful and crackling setting for films. Director Arjun Mukherjee takes the camera right into the cosy tenement and captures a microcosm of city life, with its myriad communities co-existing. 3 Storeys imagines what might actually be the stories of those living behind some of those uniformly designed doors. Pulkit Samrat, Sharman Joshi and Richa Chadda also star in this film about stories that are connected by common spaces. The problem with 3 Storeys is the screenwriting; Althea Kaushal’s three stories don’t match moods or stay on the same beat.
