Once Upon A Time In Mumbai ***

A movie on gangsters has always fascinated bollywood audience and 'Once upon a time in Mumbai' is yet another one based on this genre. A winner at the box office, for sure it is !!

Fantabulous dialogs, good background score and a strong screenplay hold the movie high. Ajay Devgn seems to have become the official flagbearer of Bollywood 'Don'-ism now. A good change for Emran Hashmi from his repetitive lover boy roles. Kangana and Prachi have nothing to do, but have added value with their 'beauty' in the 70's retro looks. Randeep hooda fits the bill. This is not a 'Company' kind movie and is special in its own way of portraying the human characters and the brain game for power. Many an audience would surely wish the climax was better though.

Balaji Telefilms has brought the bollywood style movies of the 70's alive for us this time. A must watch !

  1. I agree with most of u'r opinion, but can't agree on "Kangana and Prachi have nothing to do" as Kangana has got good role and was a revelation in the film as 90's Bollywood beauty. She perfectly fitted the role and Prachi's innocence in her character also left impact on people i guess!
