Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai takes us back to the beginnings of gangsterism in Mumbai. Milan Luthria excels in creating smouldering combustive stress between two mean, menacing men… Remember Devgn (who back then was Devgan, just as Mumbai was Bombay when the film under review unfolds) and Saif Ali Khan in Luthria’s Kachche Dhaage and on a more satirical note, John Abraham and Nana Patekar in Taxi No. 9211. In Once Upon A Time…. the conflict between Devgn and Emraan Hashmi (is placed in a far more complex and challenging scenario. The screenplay (by Rajat Arora) takes into view the entire gamut of grime in the canvas of crime that cannot be hidden by the surface of glamour and glitter.
