When a series of bombs explode in train stations throughout Mumbai, a disparate group of locals are affected in different ways. Thomas (Irrfan Khan), who sells tea, meets Rupali (Soha Ali Khan), a reporter coping with the death of her fiancé. Meanwhile, Suresh (Kay Kay Menon), who is struggling with financial woes, begins to be overly suspect of all Muslims. For Sunil (Vijay Maurya), a policeman working on the case, there is frustration at realizing his corrupt boss is still on the take.

Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express What makes Mumbai Meri Jaan a heartwarming enterprise is the manner in which those situations are nuanced, and brought to a believable, upbeat end. May 3, 2019 Full Review Namrata Joshi Outlook That lump in the throat that the film leaves you with makes it affecting and uplifting. And it's only in the fitness of things that the cynical Ae dil hai mushkil plays in the background. Rated: 3/4 Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Excellent Performances. The character sketches are impeccable, and represent very closely the people you would encounter on a daily basis in Mumbai. Nuances in the actors' expressions makes the characters all the more relatable. Captures, in the true sense, what Tukya's character says sarcastically - ï¿ 1/2~the spirit of Mumbai'. Beautifully Directed, Excellently Acted, the Actors embody the spirit of Mumbai throughout the movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member There's familiar themes of religious intolerance, irrationality and psychological problems born out of the Mumbai train bombings of 2006, and it's handled very well.
