Dongri to Dubai is the first ever attempt to account the history of the Mumbai mafia. It is the story of tarnished gangsters like Haji Mastan, Karim Lala, Varadarajan Mudaliar, Chhota Rajan, Abu Salem, but in particular, it is the story of a young man who went lost despite having a father in the police force. This story is primarily about how a boy from Dongri became a don in Dubai, and incarcerates his audacity, cunningness, focus, ambition, and hunger for power in an enthralling narrative. The thoroughly researched book provides a full and comprehensive account of the mafia’s games of domination and internecine warfare. A nice read although the author misses some important description of incidents.
