A scene in the film takes you swooping up to one of Mumbai’s high-rises, from where an ambitious hood surveys the twinkling fairy-tale cusp of Marine Drive, and calls the city a `mehbooba’ which will slip out of his grasp if he loosens his fist. The time is the 70s, when the city, still formally Bombay, was informally divvied up between a bunch of gangsters. `Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai’ is the latest homage to the romantic myth of Haji Mastan, the gangster who once upon a time owned the city, and has never since let go of our imaginings.
The challenge in a film like this, which entwines mobsters and `mehboobas’, is to make it all new, because of the past classics which have soared with the same dramatis personae. Milan Luthria rises only partially to it : he starts off well, and carries on as he means to, but then falls into the trap of the familiar. `Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai’ doesn’t match up to that spectacular scene where the city lies below, in all its glittery splendour, never quite becoming the great retro chic gangster flick that it sets out to be.
