'Traffic' team hosts special screening for Traffic police constables

Manoj Bajpayee starrer, 'Traffic', is a film which shows at length the ordeal faced by traffic cops and how they go above and beyond to fulfill their duties.

Mumbai's Additional Commissioner of Traffic Mr. Sunil Paraskar was also present for the trailer launch of the film.

The Officer had earlier said, "I have seen the trailer already and I feel it is one of the best films, not for its glamour or anything. I look at it from a very different point of view, the human interest point of view. The value of a life, of a person who is dying could be best known by their family members and delays like Traffic may perhaps make him lose his life."

"It is going to be a very difficult task for us, as due to this film people's expectations from the Traffic Police would be much more and we will have to match up with what Mr. Manoj Bajpayee has done in the film. It is one of the wonderful films, my best wishes to the film", added the Mumbai's Additional Commissioner.
