Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
I must say that the movie is definitely a great trip down memory lane for someone who spent time in Mumbai during the time portrayed that is early 70's .
I am one of those people and I was a little kid and I also happened to have seen Haji Mastaan who seems to have been a source of inspiration for this biographical sketch. Although Balaji Films strongly denies any such occurance
Ajay Devgun came out as the strongest player due to his intense presence and somehow all others remained in the background for me
The movie is reminiscent of the English movie "Public Enemies" where Chritian Bale and Johnny Depp were the main participants. The life of a Smuggler/Underworld Don (with principles) is deftly portrayed in a period when the police-smuggler conflict was at its peak. The Underworld Don namely Ajay Devgun makes an erroneous choice for a successor none other than Bad Boy Emraan Hashmi and pays heavily for his mistake.
Some sketchy details about how he woos a film star Kangana Ranout and wins her heart are also an entertaining section of the movie. The progress of Emraan Hashmi towards becoming an unprincipled underworld leader is not very entertaining and quite repetitive and cliched
It is definitely worth seeing once even if to see the Mumbai of yesteryears.
