MumBhai: 5 Intriguing Crime Thrillers Based On The Underbelly Of Mumbai

For the longest time Mumbai has been called the Mayanagri, or ‘the city of dreams’. ‘The city of seven islands’ has also been unpopular for having a lot of crimes recorded, some of which have been translated into the celluloid. Each story that comes from the underbelly of Mumbai has been equally enthralling. From organized crimes to terrorism, the city has seen it all. Storytellers and filmmakers have taken solace in retelling these stories with a hint of their interpretation.
