RyothChatty ridiculous rating

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

shaileshhhs I had this movie in my watch list for almost a year! I finally watched it! I am glad I DID!. The characters, chemistry between each of them, acting, cinematography, everything is amazing. BUT the most importantly the poetic dialogues are really amazing and so delicious to listen. Ajay Devgan top 5 movies!Hats off!

silvan-desouza Gangster films have been made several times in bollywood, indirectly based on several real gangsters, be it DAYAVAN, AGNEEPATH or VAASTAV, SATYA, COMPANYONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAI is a gangster film plus a tribute to 70's bollywood which is entertaining plus dark and also grittyThe film starts off with a flashback by Randeep Hooda introducing Ajay and Emraan Hashmi The film is supposedly based on Haji and Dawood something I wont comment upon The film is well handled and has several well handled moments some over the top, filmy but there all work well in the context of the filmThe rift between Ajay-Emraan does come a bit late but it's well handled and till the end the film is well handled though there are some snags like the end is a bit incomplete, perhaps a sequel is forthcoming henceDirection by Milan Luthria is fab, after the refreshing TAXI No.9211 and the disaster HATRICK He redeems himself with a well handled fare He has worked on the style, appearance too which deserves kudos Music by Pritam is a winner, TUM JO AAYE, PEE LOON are the best while PARDA is good too though not half as good as the originals(DUNIYA MEIN and MONICA) BABURAO MAST seems forcedAjay Devgan after several disaster scripts comes back with a bang. There is something about Ajay and Gangster roles, he adds something extra and seems a natural His role is similar to the role in COMPANY but here too he does a great job, in the light, romantic and also in the intense scenes Kangana for once not her usual suicidal self does a good job in a smaller role Emraan does a great job as suits the role too His chemistry with Ajay is fab Prachi looks good and is a natural but her role is not too well developed Randeep Hooda's voice resembles Ajay and he does a good job in a small role Avtar Gill and rest lend support

namashi_1 Mumbai goes rewind with 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai', does this tribute flashback work? In parts, YES, in parts, NO. Milan Luthria's direction is sharp, but the writing is half-baked.Gangster films have always caught Media attention, and so did 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai', but somehow this flick doesn't rank amongst those classics. A tale of a gangster/robin-hood and a complete Hitler, has it's moments, but at the end of the day, it gets restricted by it's unavoidable flaws. The film begins well, and the characters of Sultan Mirza & Shoaib Khan have appeal, but it's the writing in the second hour, which pulls down the momentum. The culmination however, is effective and note-worthy.Milan Luthria is in complete form this time. His direction is sharp, and truly commendable. The Screenplay, as mentioned, is flawed. Aseem Mishra's is Cinematography stylish. Pritam's music is superb, most of the songs are of chart-buster category.In the acting department, Ajay Devgn shines as Sultan Mirza. Emraan Hashmi is awkward in most scenes. He doesn't really suit the part. Kangna Ranaut looks stunning each time she appears on screen, and does her part naturally. Prachi Desai is alright. Randeep Hooda is good, in a brief role. Naved Aslam & Avtar Gill are passable.On the whole, an above-average fare. Watch it if you must!

Saad Khan ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI – CATCH IT ( A- ) Once Upon a time in Mumbaai is quite different take on the Mumbaai Don world… which is less brutal and hardcore then Company or Satya… An amazing movie with amazing performances by all the leading actors… Ajay Devgan yet again proved that he is par excellence… his portrayal of Sultan Mirza is effortless and complete natural… Imran Hasmi in his Bad Boy Avatar again proved he is the best Bad boy Around in Bollywood. Gangana Ranaut looks drop dead gorgeous and exquisite… Prachi Desai looks innocent and extremely pretty... Randeep Hoda proved that he has abundant of talent… Gauhar Khan's item number was Classy and looks Hot as Always. The music of the movie is really enchanting…. Overall a great movie by Milan Luthria, who didn't mess up the movie with hardcore violence & scenes…, must watch it!
