Mumbai Saga Twitter Review: The John Abraham and Emraan Hashmi starrer Mumbai Saga has hit the theatres today. Directed by Sanjay Gupta, who’s known for exploring the underworld in his screen offerings, Mumbai Saga is set in the late ’80s and the early ’90s when the city of dreams was going through a major makeover.

Apart from Emraan and John in the lead, the film also features a stellar star-cast including Suniel Shetty, Gulshan Grover, Mahesh Manjrekakr, Anjana Sukhani, Rohit Roy, Amol Gupte, Samir Soni, Prateik Babbar, and Kajal Aggarwal. Mumbai Saga shows the destruction of the mills to make malls and high-rise properties in the city, and what it brings to Mumbai. While the genre is not new and both Emraan and John are popular for roasting their rugged avatars in such movies, this Sanjay Gupta-directorial generated high hopes after the coronavirus restrictions were lifted and theatres started working on full occupancy.

However, seems like the film hasn’t fallen on par with the audience’s expectations. Netizens shared the first reviews of the film on Friday. One social media user wrote, “Watching #MumbaiSaga felt like i was watching the extra unreleased scraps from Shootout at wadala & satyamev Jayate. #MumbaiSagaReview,” other user wrote, “people still watching Bollywoods stupid stuff…
#MumbaiSagaReview.” Check out these tweets:

The filmmakers in South India have gone all big in terms of selecting movies that can revive the Box Office in one go, and Thalapathy Vijay starrer Master did the same. However, seems like the Hindi filmmakers are still playing it slow and taking their own good time to test the waters before releasing big movies on the big screens.
