 The movie narrates a tale of several characters making a living out of odd jobs at Mumbai's traffic signals. Beggars, prostitutes, flower sellers, venders, local goons and mafia are some of the characters.

Traffic Signal
Summary
The street-smart and yet emotional Silsila - so named because he was born the day Yash Chopra's film of the same name was released - helms the proceedings. Bronzed in a remorseless sun, Silsila leads a bright pack of traffic-signal derelicts - the beggars (quirky, sweet, bitter and resilient), the eunuchs, prostitutes and children (abused yet amused by the vagaries of life) ...
The traffic signal becomes as emblematic of their lives as the invisible green and red lights that manoeuvre mankind from anguish to atonement in that cycle of life that we call existence.
Bhandarkar's microcosmic view of the street people is cluttered with characters who create their own little space in the bustle of the streets.
Moments remain with you - the orphaned little boy's determination to retrieve his lost parents, the prostitute Noorie's growing relationship with the junkie street hustler and the strangely ironical relationship that grows between passengers in posh cars and these fringe people at street signals.
