An outstanding creative work by UTV Motion Pictures depicting the true Spirit of Mumbai with shades of every aspect. KK, Madhavan, Irfan, Soha and Paresh Rawal were extravagant. All of them try tackling their issue on their own. And by the end of it, all of them move on in life. And that has been portrayed as the 'spirit of Mumbai'. Hence the name – "Mumbai Meri Jaan". The movie presents the difference in various point of views from which people looked at the incidence of Mumbai Train Blasts in July 2006. At one level, it shows how there are people who overcame the fear of bomb blasts and moved on in life as if nothing has changed. While there is another sect of people whose lives have forever been unsettled because of this incident.

In all, the movie deserves an A+, and is a must watch.

Priyadarshan's magic could not be found in this one. Not as hilarious as his previous ones were. Moreover, there were hardly any good jokes. Om Puri and Paresh Rawal were excellent and funny as usual. The first half was funny and all credits to the duo; but the latter half did the movie in. The Climax was poor. The locations and direction were upto the mark except for a slow moving script and needless songs. Akshay khanna was okay. Genelia D'souza, the actress we saw in Masti and some telugu movies was found to be hyper... don't know whether the role demanded such overacting or it was natural. Rajpal yadav in his short scene was very funny. Priyadarshan had unnecessary scenes, songs, etcetera and he was trying his level best to tie the scenes together. Overall, worth watching if someone offers the tickets or have no other things to do.
