Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbai Dobaara![2] (abbreviated as OUATIMD and previously known as Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Again) is a 2013 Indian crime gangster film directed by Milan Luthria and produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor. A sequel to the 2010 film Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, the film stars Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha and Imran Khan in leading roles and Sonali Bendre in a supporting role.
The first trailer of the film was released on 28 May 2013. The film, on the other hand, released on 15 August 2013 to coincide with the national holiday on the eve of Independence Day in India. The release date of the film was pushed further by the producers to avoid clashing with Rohit Shetty's film Chennai Express, which released on 9 August 2013.[1] This is the third collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha as a pair (after 2012 films Rowdy Rathore and Joker), and the first between Sonakshi Sinha and Imran Khan.
Upon release, however, the film received mixed to negative reviews.[6] It also failed to perform well at the box office, being declared a "Flop" by Box Office India.
The film commences from where the previous film ended with Shoaib Khan (Akshay Kumar) being the reigning don after successfully assassinating his mentor Sultan Mirza (Ajay Devgn) thus earning the respect and reverence of the people. 12 years later, he is still the charismatic and suave womaniser who has extended his empire up to the Middle East. His only companions and friends are Javed (Sarfaraz Khan), who oversees his illegal and shady work for him, his old-time love Mumtaz (Sonali Bendre) and Aslam (Imran Khan), a youth spotted by Shoaib during one of his visits to the slums, where he spent the early years of his life.
Now a much older Shoaib returns to Bombay to finish off Rawal (Mahesh Manjrekar), another gangster. Although the city still is his first love, a rising starlet, Jasmine (Sonakshi Sinha) has caught the fancy of Shoaib's heart. Jasmine is an upcoming movie actor, whom Shoaib makes famous, and showers with gifts. In due time, this passion takes the shape of obsession for Shoaib. On the other hand, he sends Aslam along with another trustworthy goon, Jimmy, to finish off Rawal. As they arrive, Rawal switches the lights off and Jimmy unknowingly kills Rawal's apparent girlfriend.
Rawal flees, and soon, Jimmy is arrested. The police keep him for less than 10 minutes before letting him go. The police's plan is to make it look like Jimmy has turned on Shoaib, so that Shoaib arrives to finish Jimmy off, and then they will capture him. Aslam suspects this, and decides to go get Jimmy himself instead of Shoaib. As Aslam arrives, the police gather around and attack. Aslam gets Jimmy but is interrupted by a police inspector. Shoaib appears and injures the inspector, before shooting Jimmy dead after accusing him of betrayal. Shoaib and Aslam escape from the scene after a long chase by the police.
By this time, Shoaib has fallen in love with Jasmine who is also befriended by Aslam. Slowly, however, this friendship turns into love. When Shoaib decides to buy Jasmine a house, she realizes that he loves her, and bluntly tells him that she considers him as a friend. Disappointed, Shoaib reacts violently, slaps her and forces her to leave. Angered, he goes to her film shoot and destroys some of the set. Jasmine, realizing that things will only get worse, decides to return to Shoaib. As Aslam tries to confess his love to her, she tells him that they cannot meet again. By then, Shoaib sends Aslam to pick Jasmine up who is shocked to see her as Shoaib's love.
At this point, Rawal attacks Jasmine. When Shoaib comes to the hospital, he starts saying that Aslam and he both love the same girl, which a scared Aslam denies. To this, Shoaib says it is not true, but it must seem like that from now on, so that Rawal assumes that Aslam has turned against Shoaib and thus comes to him so they could make use of the opportunity and mislead him. The plan works, and Shoaib manages to kill Rawal in front of a huge crowd. This puts the police on high alert who decide not to lose Shoaib's trail at any cost. While joyous over his victory of killing Rawal, he returns to an unconscious Jasmine in the hospital. Aslam is with her in the hospital, and has decided to leave her and go away after Shoaib comes in. Aslam's friend (Pitobash) who is driving Shoaib back, mentions that the girl Aslam loves is Jasmine. Shoaib reacts furiously, deciding to destroy Aslam. Aslam's friend warns them that they are in danger and Aslam runs away with Jasmine. Shoaib finds out that the friend helped them flee, and sends his dead body back to Aslam along with his goons to kill Aslam. They are unable to kill him. Aslam then calls Shoaib, saying he will now only live for Jasmine. Shoaib says that no one will touch Aslam now as he is coming to kill him. A major fight takes place between Shoaib and Aslam. After several attacks of Shoaib, police arrive and shoot at Shoiab but Aslam gets hit with a bullet in his shoulder when he pushes Shoaib away in order to save him. Shoaib is taken aback at this. Jasmine runs to comfort Aslam, and pleads Shoaib to go away, condemning the person that Shoaib is. The police fire again at Shoaib. The next scene is where Javed drags Shoaib away.
Finally, an injured Shoaib is shown reading the letter he wanted to give to Jasmine while returning on a ship.
