There are numerous films on the present-day Mumbai underworld, but it is fascinating to see how it all started in the newly independent country.
The too-big-to handle metropolis, once freed from the chains of the British reign, also lost a strict and strongly exercised system of law enforcement. It is interesting to see how the new, immature government is unable to retain control and power goes to "Sultan" Mirza. It is equally shocking to witness how Hashmi's unquenchable thirst for power and victory leads him to usurp Mirza's position, and increases Mumbai's filth. The police inspector points out the riveting truth that all along he thought he was in a battle of good vs. evil, where the evil is Mirza and his group, and the good is the former innocence the city possessed. However, it ended up being much more complex where the fight was between evil vs. more evil (Mirza vs. Hashmi).
The inspector's recollection of "the death of Mumbai" is both eye-opening and tragic. Terrific plot and great performances.
