What the critics say

Critics largely call Mumbai Saga a recycled, overlong gangster rehash with flat dialogue and a yellow-tinted look, but many still enjoy the John Abraham-Emraan Hashmi face-off and Amol Gupte's scene-stealing turn as a one-time watch.

Summary

Mumbai Saga (2021, Hindi) has a Filmi Score of 54 from 9 critic reviews, is rated 18+ by Filmi (CBFC: A), and streams on Prime Video in the US.

The film, set in the 1980s and 90s, chronicles the transformation of Bombay to Mumbai. The story is a cat and mouse game between a deadly don, Amartya Rao, who doesn’t think twice before killing, and there’s nobody who could stop him and a cop, who is dogging his every step.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 9 readings; 5 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
