Ok the title was just to catch your attention. I just came back after watching "Once Upon a time in Mumbai" and the movie is total paisa vasool. Ajay Devgan as Sultan Mirza has delivered yet another power packed performance and as Sultan, Ajay Devgan gets to deliver most of the punch dialogues, which is undoubtedly the best part of the movie. Take this for a sample - "Main woh kaam karta hoon jiski ijaazat sarkar nahi deti. Main woh kaam nahi karta jiski ijaazat mera zameer nahi deta". Emraan Hashmi as a boyish criminal desperate to become a DON is surprisingly good and he also gets to mouth some interesting dialogues
My knowledge on music, screenplay or story telling is not great but I like anything that I do not lose interest in and this is one such movie. If I have got the cinematic lingo right then I can say the screenplay keeps the audience engaged throughout the movie and the background score infuses life into the characters. The music is not bad either, the two or three songs in the movie are actually good.
In spite of this being a gangster movie, the romantic scenes are beautifully written. The scene in which our Smart Sultan uses a Guava to woo his love interest Rehana (Kangana Ranaut) will definitely impress you. I would say the romance part is much better and original than the other recent romantic love stories dished out by the Johars or the Chopras or their wannabes.
Though the movie is not better than the other gangster movies like Company or Satya but it is a must watch and by the way there is also Prachi desai in Bobby Blouse, so my choice of title for this post is not completely off track.
