Mumbai Saga – Movie Review
Many critics have given a review to this new action film. Moreover, the reception received by Mumbai Saga is mixed, having both positive and negative comments. The movie began with a bang as we see the old Mumbai in the 80s-90s. The power is in the hand of the person who pays the most. From police to politicians, everyone works, whoever pays the most. The mafias and gangsters are ruling the city, while the simple man works to feed his family. Writer, producer, and director Sanjay Gupta has a busy screenplay as we find chaos in almost all of the scenes.
The movie gets its meaning as we see Amartya Rao (John Abraham) transforming into a mafia himself after his brother Arjun (Prateik Babbar) is almost killed by goons. Amartya, who once was a regular man, turns into the most feared mafia of Mumbai in no time. Among the many, a police officer, Vijay Savarkar (Emraan Hashmi), is on a quest to capture Amartya. On his journey to find Amartya, we encounter the other characters, who play a prominent role in the film. With their characters, they help in strengthening the storyline as well as the film. The performance by the star cast is superb. The dialogues reflect the Mumbainess and nothing beats when Indian actor deliver their dialogues with complete swag. Some of them will surely get famous on social media. In addition to this, songs like “Shor Machega” and “Lut Gaye” give a break to all the blood and violence we see on the screen. The movie also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Gulshan Grover, Mahesh Manjrekar, Amole Gupte, Rohit Roy, Sunil Shetty, and Anjana Sukhani.
Mumbai Saga – Box Office
Mumbai Saga was meant to capture the hearts, which it did. However, it could not reach out to everyone. Sadly, the film made its debut when the coronavirus made its comeback in the country. Moreover, Maharashtra is the most affected state in the nation, which caused a lockdown and night curfew. The film garnered 2.82 crores on its first day. And according to the statistics, Mumbai Saga has collected a worldwide gross collection of ₹22.29 crore. As for the reviews, Bollywood Hungama wrote, “MUMBAI SAGA is a film embellished with massy moments clap worthy dialogues, sudden twists and loads of style.” Another one wrote and said that Sanjay Gupta always has the upper hand when it comes to criminal movies, but this time he played his cards wrong, and the result was not appreciated by the audience.
