Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai
Streaming on: MX Player
In her review of the film, The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote, “The big strengths of the slickly shot film are the two principal leads, Ajay Devgn and Kangana Ranaut. As Sultan Mirza, Devgn breathes freshness into a character we’ve seen several times before ( he has done it himself in ‘Company), his rise to the top of the mafia pile speedily etched: the soot-laden lad who shovels coal all day long on the docks turns into a man who dresses all in white, all the time, and engages in black-marketeering of an order the country had never witnessed before, the smuggled Johnny Walkers and the Wrangler jeans and the gold coins pouring in through Bombay’s porous shoreline.”
