Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara! (2013): Cast & Box Office

Shoaib Khan stands as the reigning don, a man who commands respect after eliminating his former mentor in a brutal act of revenge that followed a public humiliation. The power handover that happened in 1975 becomes a mark of his ruthless ascent, and the film traces how he carves out influence by fear, charm, and calculated moves. Twelve years later, in 1987, he remains a charismatic, suave figure who has widened his empire to the Middle East, while his closest circle stays tight: Javed, his loyal overseer; Mumtaz, once his lover; and Aslam, a teenager he encountered in the city’s poorest streets.
