Mumbai Mafia: Police vs the Underworld is a documentary directed by Raaghav Dar and Francis Longhurst.
In the 1990’s Bombay, a war between mafias broke out and the city was plunged into a chaos of murders, robberies and all kinds of incidents. A group of policemen decided to take sides in the matter in the most violent ways.
If you like Indian Predator series, you will like this documentary, which has many similarities in the treatment of the dramatizations and, above all, in the choice of subject matter and a certain tendentiousness that sometimes characterizes these documentaries.
However, it might be of the interest of some viewers to see what really happened and, if ignore the obvious sensationalism, the documentary is watchable.

Music of the film has been composed by Ajay-Atul (Singham) along with guest composers Hitesh Soni, Kavita Seth and Shamir Tandon, while Amitabh Bhattacharya and Deepi Sheshadri have penned the lyrics. My Friend Pinto features the vocal talents of Kunal Ganajawala, Gayatri Ganajwala (Mohabbat Hai Mirchi – Chura Liya Hai Tumne), K.K, Sunidhi Chauhan and the X-Factor contestants from the group Nirmatee.

Twenty-something Michael Pinto has grown up in a small Goan village, believing everyone in the world to be simple, kind and honest, just like him.

Mumbai, Aug 26: Utv Motion Pictures and filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali would jointly lend their support to activist Anna Hazare on his fast for an anti-graft law by distributing T-shirts with 'My Friend Anna' written on them at Ramlila ground in the capital Friday.
The 'My Friend Anna' slogan sounds like Utv and Bhansali's co-production 'My Friend Pinto', which is directed by Raghav Dar and features actor Prateik Babbar and Kalki Koechlin.
The idea was triggered by a post, carrying a photo of a yellow T-Shirt reading 'My Friend Anna',.

By now it's well known to one and all that Shraddha Kapoor (daughter of Shakti Kapoor) will be making her debut in the Amitabh Bachchan- Madhavan starrer Teen Patti. But if you think that the release of the film will decide her fate in Bollywood, then you couldn't be further from the truth, because she has already been signed up for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's production My Friend Pinto opposite Prateik Babbar. From what we heard, Bhansali and debutante director Raghav Dar were looking to cast a fresh new face and several girls were screen tested but it was finally Shraddha who with all her freshness bagged the plum role. With two new yet talented actors in its cast and a veteran filmmaker backing this project, My Friend Pinto surely looks like one promising film.

Pratik, who worked so hard on getting a muscular look, has been asked to lose all muscle for his role in Raghav Dar’s My Friend Pinto, produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Of late, Pratik’s body was the topic of discussion in the town. But when Pratik was seen at a recent get-together, he had lost all muscle and was back to normal. Everyone was surprised to see how soon Pratik had lost weight.
According to sources, Pratik stopped going to the gym on Bhansali’s instructions. Instead, he started attending Capoeira workshops. Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian form of dance/martial arts which is acrobatic. It helped him go from brawny to skinny.
Pratik’s role in the film is that of a nerd from Goa.
