If you love 'Bombay' and the twisted romance the city had with organised crime, Netflix documentary Mumbai Mafia: Police vs the Underworld will be a riveting 87 ...

For better or for worse, Mumbai was cleaned up, and the terror of the mafia did die out, and for most, including Sharma and Aghre, that trumps everything else. In a city crumbling under the weight of extortions, killings and fear, ‘heroes’ had to rise, suggests the documentary. It was Khan who led the shootout at Lokhandwala that resulted in the deaths of gangsters Maya Dolas and Dilip Buwa in 1991. A decade of terror in Mumbai is pieced together meticulously through the accounts of police officers, journalists and a former ‘D-Company’ member. While Sharma and Angre speak with obvious pride about their role in eliminating gangsters, the voice of conscience among the cops of that era was police chief and founder of ATS, A. The documentary traces the rise and fall of the cops, including that of Vijay Salaskar, another encounter specialist who was killed in action during 26/11.

Moreover, the reactions of the masses brought these encounter specialist officials a near mythological status. On the other hand, how often lack of opportunities and belonging trap men into the structure of organized crime is depicted. The documentary explores how terrorism often has its roots in material gains of criminals, and not in religious beliefs. In the '90s, the communal tension brewing in India added a whole different layer to the scenario of rampant criminal activities. The cinematography is undoubtedly beautiful, capturing the gores and grim of the bustling city. The crazy world of destitute boys turned gangsters, insiders turned informants, police interrogations and all sorts of crimes is aptly captured in this documentary.

Mumbai Mafia Police vs The Underworld review: Familiar tale ... (Firstpost)

A familiar narrative subtly shifts focus to some uncomfortable questions about the decades' long battle fought on the streets of Mumbai.

Mission Manju is a spy thriller inspired by one of the most heroic missions of an Indian RAW agent. The Mumbai Mafia has been fetishized to the point that imitations now resemble starry heroism. These men fronted the takedown of a burgeoning empire that rocked the country, let alone the financial capital. Begum of OTT Netflix’s Monika Shergill: ‘Quality storytelling and honest content will always work’](https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/yearender-2022-begum-of-ott-netflixs-monika-shergill-quality-storytelling-and-honest-content-will-always-work-11886341.html) There is a moment – blink and you might miss it – where Sharma tenderly attends to his pet dog. So much has been lost through this romancing of criminal life, you could argue, Mumbai Mafia fills a gap where none, at least technically, seems to exist. The narrative, the structuring is fairly simple, and though Ibrahim’s earlier days are omitted, it’s clear the focus, this time around is on a different aspect of the story that stretches roughly three decades. Khan, founder of the ATS (Anti-Terror Squad), speaks his mind.Ibrahim’s rise, the formation of encounter teams under Khan, the Mumbai riots followed by throwing of the kitchen sink so to speakat organised crime, are all part of a story we have seen, read or consumed in some form as part of our staple diets. Impressions are never definitive, but here, there is little telling the criminal from the others. It’s key strengths, quite incredibly, doesn’t lie in getting a voice from the other side – though there is some of that too. But instead it grows on you as a narrative about a bunch of seemingly good guys, who lived long and carelessly enough to become the bad guys. Mumbai Mafia narrates the story of Dawood Ibrahim’s rise, his baffling orchestration of an unlikely crime syndicate and the Mumbai Police’s reactive strategy against it.

सत्तर, अस्सी और नब्बे के दशक में मुंबई पर अंडरवर्ल्ड का खौफनाक साया था।
