The series based on the book "Dongri to Dubai - Six decades of mumbai Mafia". The series is captivating and keeps you hooked from the start. Besides the script the performance of the cast elevates the series. The direction by Shujaat is good as it captures Dongri, the gangs that are spread across mumbai and the relationship between the various characters. The story is told from the point of view of Ismail kadri so the treatment is different focussing on the relationship though the gangwars are picturised well.

The star of the show is obviously Kay Kay who as usual comes up with another amazing performance. He lights up the screen every time he is on frame and we feel his predicament, helplessness and despair in his eyes as he sees his family slipping into a life of crime.

He is supported well with some fine performances from he whole cast who are top notch, some notable mentions are: Nivedita as Sakina is superb as the wife who is torn between her husband and sons.

Kritika as Habiba was a revelation. She has a very strong screen presence and is perfect for the role.

Avinash as Dara - gets into the character rights from the initial days of his life in crime and as he goes on to become the king challenging his enemies.

Jitin as Sadique as Daras brother is equally good specially the emotional sequence in the end.

Saurabh as Haji gives good support.

Special mention need to be given to Manthan who plays the younger Dara, Tanaya Khan as Chitra and Chotu.

Nolan delivers a compelling biopic which keeps you hooked from the start to finish. Though 3 hours long, it keeps you glued to the screen. This is a movie to be watched n the big screen, nolan weaves a agical experience. The cienematography and story telly is is top nautch. This is one of the finest movie made by nolan.

You get to know te internal details of the lide of Oppenheimmer and his achievements and dillemna. You will also know the background of what went into making of the A bomb and the bobing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki. The politics behind the action and thirst for Power.

Ciliam Nurphy - Absolutely briliant in each frame, he brings the character to life. Conveying a lot through his expessive eyes which Nolan makes full use of. His scenes with Albert Eienstein will give you goose bumps.

Robert Downey jr - Though a supporting role, he lends lots of sincerety to his role and does a good job.

Matt Damon lends good support as Major general in charge of the Project.

Emily Blunt as oppenheimmer's wife is a very strong role and she is very convincing. The hearing scenes where she is questioned on her link to communist groups is classic.

An actor who is a star from the silent era, a helper who does lot of odd jobs and ants to make it big in the movies and a wanabe star who fakes she is a star till she becomes one.

The silent movie era ends and the sound erra starts, how everyone copes with it. There are lots of characters and sequences. The start is superb with lots of energy and colours.

Unfortunately the movie is too long and it becomes boring after a point. Some scenes do not fit the flow and seem to have been added just for the heck of it.

Margot Robbie is the star here and does a splendid job, specially in some of the earlier scenes.

Diego Calva is good and brings lots of sincereity to his role.

The music score is excellent. Beware of the last 1 hour.
