After Assistant Commissioner Agnel Wilson (Randeep Hooda) unsuccessfully attempts suicide, he recounts his story of the Mumbai, India, underworld, which he'd been investigating for decades. It begins with the tale of Sultan Mirza (Ajay Devgn), a smuggler. Wilson attempts to take Sultan down through the gang leader's relationship with a Bollywood actress, but his attempt fails. Then a rising gangster, Shoaib Khan (Emraan Hashmi), overthrows Sultan -- but the power struggle is far from over.

The Indian Express

Never quite [becomes] the great retro chic gangster flick that it sets out to be.

Outlook

OUTIM doesn't go beyond the obvious and essentially remains nothing more than a straightforward tale about how the new order takes over from the old in the underworld hierarchy.

Rated: 2/4

Hindustan Times

Few actors in mainstream films manage a self-assured, under-stated swagger, convey so much silently, sometimes just with their glance and droopy eyes... Bachchan perfected it as the 'angry young man'. Devgn, you can tell, is his fine successor.

Rated: 3/5

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai offers you both substance and soul, even as it dabbles with a slice of reality. Don't miss it.

A gripping dramatic thriller that has the style, the punch lines, the friction, and a whole lot of substance too.

"Once Upon a Time in Mumbai" is a stylish and well acted period piece that I liked for the most part. The movie's story starts off very strongly in its first act but then it goes back and forth from being interesting and kind of dull. However, the movie has very solid performances from the lead characters and that made up for the slower moments in the story. It's a good movie on a technical level and it kept my interest almost all the way through. I think there are better Bollywood movies about crime out there, but that doesn't make this one not worth checking out.

I went to Netflix all "Hey, Netflix, what should I watch from Bollywood?" and it was like "Historical fiction gangster time?" and I was like "Yaaaassssss." Seriously. I enjoyed this. What a great movie. Right up my alley. Musical gangsters.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the quietly menacing gangst-ah Ajay Devgan. Not so sure about his character's Robin Hood ethos of robbing the rich to feed the poor, which is inevitably brought down by the younger, more impatient, rob-like-you-don't-give-a-damn attitude. The same tired conventionality in expressing the generational changing of the guard.
