Dongri To Dubai is not just a book. It’s a journey of few people who changed the history of Mumbai over the period of six decades after the independence. The book simply tells you the stories of local mafias and how they operated their networks with the help of some police officials, politicians, celebs and influenced personalities. The author has narrated very interesting stories of almost all the ganglords who indirectly ruled the economic center of India. As far as storyline is concerned, it is divided into two parts so that readers can easily understand the difference between two eras. Zaidi’s narrating style and realistic approach are probably the best parts of this book. He had the scope to glamorize some of the events, for example the encounters of gangsters, but that doesn’t happen here. And, I guess that’s where the author earns his points. In the end, you just have to admire the efforts of author for doing so much extensive research on this topic, which is obviously not a cup of tea of any other journalist or storyteller. It is fast paced and builds up an engaging read. Dongri To Dubai is recommended if you love the gangster bang-bangs, and feed your eyes mostly on Mafia diet
