Movie Review | Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaraa

Once upon a time in Mumbai, when
gangsters were heroes, there lived a
mafia king called Shoaib Khan (Akshay
Kumar) and he was a charismatic man
with womanising expertise. Milan
Luthria directed Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara revolves around this
don, his companions and his love stories.
The movie's dialogues and the narrative
take the audience on a roller coaster ride
where two men fall for the same
woman.

The performances are wholly fresh and
entertaining. Akshay Kumar simply
silences the theatre halls with his
charming lines and villainous presence.
Get ready to watch the return of this
king.

OUATIMD is more than just crime
gangster film. There is bit of everything
in this movie - passionate love,
melodious music, dashing dialogues,
amazing action and more importantly
fine performance by actors. So put on those shades and suits from the 80s and
get ready to escape to an underworld
love story.

Story:

The movie begins from where the
prequel Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
ended. Only this time it is Akshay Kumar
who is Shoaib Khan instead of Imran
Hashmi. Shoaib, a successful don who
assassinated his mentor, the previous don Sultan Mirza has now earned his
share of respect.

OUATIMD is set in the 1980s of Bombay
where Shoaib's sole interest is the
supremacy of Mumbai but his heart is
swayed by a lovely lady called Jasmine
(Sonakshi Sinha). In the movie, Shoaib is
like a godfather to Aslam (Imran Khan). Aslam was spotted by Shoaib during one
of his visits to the slums.

The tagline of the movie says 'This time
it's personal' and yes we do see a lot
more than crime and killing. When
Shoaib's passion for Jasmine grows into
something more, there arises a rift
between the young Aslam and godfather Shoaib. The two vie for Jasmine's love.

Performances So far

Akshay Kumar: He plays the role Shoaib Khan, a flamboyant bad guy. Akshay
lives like a king in the movie. He returns
as villain after 12 years. He was last
seen as the bad guy in Khiladi. Akshay
brings his character alive with the
dialogues and style. For a change, we enjoy watching the bad guy say lines
such as 'Peene ki capacity, jeene ki
strength, account ka balance aur naam
ka kauff kabhi bhi kam na hona
chahiye'.

Sonakshi Sinha: This beautiful actress plays the role Jasmine who is an
innocent starlet. She is a rising actress
and when she wins an award, she even
says that the award's value is just for a
year. She tells people to pray. Jasmine
not only impresses Shoaib and Aslam but sways the audience too.

Imran Khan: Imran Khan who is Aslam in the movie. Aslam is like a young
ambitious prince. Imran looks different
in the movie with his new avatar and
fits into the role well.

Verdict so far

Once again, director Milan Luthria
impresses us with the set-up of the
movie. The actors have given their best
to fit into the 1980s of Bombay. In this
scenario, everything is so filmy just like
how it used to be back then.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara
makes gangsters the heroes and for once
you don't mind that. It is often said that
for a movie to become a hit, you need
five good dialogues and here you have
plenty.
