Potboiler based on past

After the success of its previous release, LSD — Love Sex Aur Dhokha, Balaji’s latest project Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, directed by Milan Luthria, stars Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi, Kangana Ranaut and Prachi Desai.

Judging by the audience’s reaction, the film sure looks to be all that it promises — a super-entertaining rewind to the era of romance, smuggling, cabaret and the mafia.  Seen through the eyes of a police officer, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai traces the changing face of the Mumbai underworld. The film, set primarily in the Mumbai of the 1970s, follows the rise of Sultan (Ajay Devgan) and his eventual fall, when his protege Shoaib (Emraan Hashmi), challenges his supremacy, and usurps power to rule the murky underbelly of Mumbai.

Says a renowned trade analyst, “Audiences are eagerly awaiting the movie’s release. There is a lot of buzz surrounding the movie already especially after the success of LSD.”

Reveals a source, “In this day and age, where production houses are churning out
one comedy and romantic flick after another, Balaji dares to be different and comes out with a slick and entertaining film that makes you relive the iconic days of the Mumbai of 1970s.”

Balaji and Milan Luthria’s Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai is all set to release worldwide on July 30.
