Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Review: the return of the era of gangster's movie
By Kriti Pandey - Monday, July 26th, 2010 5:26 pm

Director: Milan Luthria, Producer: Ekta Kapoor,Shobha Kapoor, Release Date: July 30, 2010, Language: Hindi, Genre: Action / Romance, Star Cast: Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Kangna Ranaut,Prachi Desai,Randeep Hooda,Gauhar Khan,Avtar Gill,Naved Aslam,Sanjeev Wilson,Mehul Bhojak,Ravi Khanwilkar,Amy Kingston

Movie Review : Once upon a Time In mumbaai talks about an era which takes us back through the memory lane in to the abyss of the mafia world ruling Mumbai in the 80's when Mumbai breathed terror all the time. According to media speculations the move centers on the lives of Dawood Ibrahim and Haji Mastan who were the order of the day at that time. The movie directors, spokesmen and disclaimer all claim that it has no inspiration from any person's life and that the similarities are mere co incidences but the parallels are too distinct too ignore.

The quality of the movie lies that besides the powerful storyline of the rising of the prince and the falling of the reigning King, the music of the movie does the wonders for the audience. The compositions are just awe-binding.

Set in the era of 1970s the movie tracks the careers of two famous gangsters Sultan Mirza palyed by Ajay Devgan and his recipient in line Shoaib Khan a classic character played by Emraan Hashmi and then their conflicts, which ensues when Shoaib challenges his protector and claims to rule the underworld of Mumbai is simply marvelous.

Director Milan Luthria's has worked extensively for the movie which is completely visible in performances of the lead gangster's as well as Randeep hooda as the tale narrating police officer, the jewellery shop romantic scenes from Prachi's and Emraan conflicts with Ajay.
Pritam's music is already rising up the charts doing the trick for the movie. The on screening pair of Ajay and Kangana ( a 70's actress) is replete with amazing chemistry. And added to this romance is the pair of Prachi and Emraan.

The powerful performances are sure to linger on the audiences for long.

Review ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI: 4 stars out of five!

Posted on 26 July 2010 by Shagun Gupta

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai

Director: Milan Luthria, Producer: Ekta Kapoor,Shobha Kapoor, Star Cast: Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Kangna Ranaut,Prachi Desai,Randeep Hooda,Gauhar Khan,Avtar Gill,Naved Aslam,Sanjeev Wilson,Mehul Bhojak,Ravi Khanwilkar,Amy Kingston, Release Date: July 30, 2010, Language: Hindi, Genre: Action / Romance, Rating: 4/5

Milan Luthria's ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI takes you back to the time when mafia had just started to get an upper hand in everything possible in Mumbai. Though not intended and though in spite of having gotten cleared of all the charges of the movie based upon the real life story of Haji Mastan, it somehow unsuccessfully tries to remind to you and you start drawing similarities between Haji Mastan's life and Emran Hashmi's character in the movie "ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI".

The movie has been set in the old Mumbai style and most of the time revolves around the lives of the two gangsters played by Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi. The movie has a beautiful way of describing the time of the Underworld period.

It does not describe of any incident that has happened in history and might be entirely fictional.

The best part of making the whole movie is that it actually portrays as to how Sultan Mirza, played by Ajay Dvgn gets a rise in his career and later his protg' Shoaib Khan, played by Emraan Hashmi gets affected by his supremacy and thus unfolds another chapter into the w of the Underworld.

The movie strangely does not include many violent scene. Actually there is just one when Ajay hammers a cop.

The music is splendid especially the track "Pee Lu". It seems as if the songs have been stolen out of the bygone era.

The dialogues written by Rajat Aroraa are incomparable to any movie of any time. The splendid dialogues make an ordinary scene a very classy act!

Movie Review: Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai [OUATIM] A Must Watch flick
Posted by Varun Modi on Jul 27th 2010

Once Upon A time In Mumbai proves many things. First it proves that a good story is one of the most important needs of making a good movie.

The story of OUATIM is it's strongest point. How the student becomes the master or rather how the prince becomes the King, king of Mumbai.

Secondly, it shows us how much difference can a good casting can make. One does not need to necessarily have a good actor in the movie, but one does need to have an actor which suits the character.

So we have Ajay and Hashmi, tailor made for their roles here and the girls also do a good job.

Next up is the music of the movie, which is so soulful and goes so well with the moments in the movie.

Hats of to Milan for using the right soundtrack in the right places. All in all, OUATIM is an experience that needs to be seen at any cost. One more thing that needs a mention is that for an underworld film, this movie does not have any violence or sleaze to it. Go Enjoy.

An actress (not bitchy for once) who has seen Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai says, "The romance angle between Ajay Devgan-Kangna Ranaut and Emraan Hashmi-Prachi Desai is so passionate that I now want to find myself a gangster and date him."

She went on to say, "Forget Bhiku Mhatre, after this film if someone asks: Mumbai Ka King Kaun, the answer will be Sultan Mirza." That's high praise!
