Watching this film, you definitely get Rewinded to those days when you were in 1970 - ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI
Don, The Great Gambler, Shalimaar - These were some of the films that were made in 1970s. And now you get to see a new film with the old style. Once Upon A Time in Bombay (hey, its about 70's and the city was called Bombay) just recreates the same magic and feel that was seen by the generation who are now used to popcorn cinema in multiplex.
Its Blast from the Past as Its the Time for RETRO - All you Gen X guys who have missed the drama, action, dance and the feel of Bell Bottom Pants, Cabaret Dances, The Looks and the Costumes and of course, BOMBAY of 1970 - get ready to watch it on a multiplex with whistles and applauds. Its a wonderful experience. And worth a watch and your penny! The movie revolves around the lives of the two gangsters Haiji Mastan and Dawood Ibrahim played by Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi. The movie has a beautiful way of describing the time of the Underworld period. Ranaut and Desai playing their lady love Dolls and sweethearts. The clash between the two gangs (minus the guns and wars) but only with the sharp hitting dialogues (wonderful) is the USP of the film. The music is also pleasant especially the Pee Loo number.
Well, I will not divulge you the story of the film - as this is one such film which I would strongly recommend all of you to watch it for the experience that I had cherished and most of you too, of watching a film in the 70's. Hatts off to Milan Luthria and Balaji Films for bringing this 'old' formula in the 'new' film that is worth saying 'Old is Gold'
