Trivia
During development the real names of Dawood Ibrahim and other characters were used, but following the trailer the film went through troubles and hence all names except Manya's were changed. See more »Goofs
In the final shootout, policemen are armed with 6-shot revolvers. No one is seen reloading and more than six shots are fired. See more »Quotes

I watched this film on a British Air flight from Europe. I found it a tad confusing (the ending seemed rather vague). HOWEVER, when I looked at the film listing on IMDb, it appears as if the airline decided to trim quite a bit of the movie!! Perhaps this might explain my confusion. However, what still is in no doubt is that I really didn't like anyone in the film and didn't particularly care.
The film is apparently based on a book, "Dongri to Dubai", and I have never read it and know very little about it. However, I could tell by what I read about reaction to the film as well as the prologue (where they admitted much of the film might not be true) that the film is based on reality...to a degree. As a retired history teacher, I wish the film hadn't equivocated and simply presented the best and most truthful story--and stood behind it.
The character Manya Surve was apparently a real gangster who was killed by the Mumbai police in the 1980s. The film portrays him as an innocent man who was framed and sent to prison--where he learned quickly to be vicious in order to survive. So, this monster was created by the police themselves according to the film. I assume some police officials would probably take exception to this--though I really don't know. What I do know is that the story is very action-packed and very violent. And, since it was trimmed, the violence must have been pretty intense in the original--as it was still NOT a film for the squeamish. It also features a strange convention that I've seen in most every recent Indian gangster film--they STILL take time for song and dance numbers like you'd see in a traditional Indian romance. For me, this is a fun cliché for romances but seems completely out of place in gritty crime films. However, the film was NOT made for me but for a billion Indians--and the producer/director probably knew what they were doing. As for me, though, even without the songs I just didn't find the premise interesting and the characters seemed equally scuzzy--whether police, rival gangs or Surve's gang. Mildly interesting but not among the better Indian films I've seen--especially since after a while, the super-stylized action scenes seemed a bit too much.
