This review was originally written by me in2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mumbai Confidential book 1 good cop, bad cop ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My review ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One of its own kind of graphic novel I've never seen before. From the story to its art work. every piece of work of this book is very unique. We usually read any comic book or a graphic novel which's story generally rotate around any specific individual. But this books takes graphic novels to a another level. If i say about the story then from start to end it felt like watching a Hindi Bollywood gangster movie like shootout at lokhandwala or shootout at wadala on the hard copy. This book is completely based of events which Mumbai is facing in it's underbelly. gangsters, encounters, cops, politics, actors every one want to rule over Mumbai. Because every powerful person knows this fact that whoever rule The Mumbai can rule all over the India and even rule the world. Ma.Po.Se (Maharashtra Police Seva) get united to secure Mumbai from these kind of vigilantes. And for many reasons Ma.Po.Se can't keep up that good work. Then they created another section to stop these vigilantes, "Encounter force". Member of this kind of force are having their own right of judgement. But with this kind of power and authority, many encounter force members are turning worst then any vigilante's gang, they've created their own encounter gangs. In this story many encounter specialist are taking bribe either not to shoot vigilantes or to ignore gang's activities. This book had shown other side of Mumbai, the dark side of Mumbai. In this world there are many politics, conspiracies running around which is beyond our imagination. There is hardly anyone whom you can trust blindly. I personally feel that whoever you are a graphic novel reader or not, every one should read this book at least once. We always see those things which are visible to us We usually see our India as an incredible India but this India is also having an another side, THE DARK SIDE. . RECOMMEND 18+(M) ( Note:- (M) rated for mature contents like harsh language, semi nudity, blood and gore, Please Do not read if you are pregnant or under 18+) . . Rating based on 10 story 10 art work 10 packaging- super 10 . Note:- This review and rating is completely from my point of view. Hope you will like it
