Madhavans job in this movie is to brace himself up and not allow the rest of the talented cast to overshadow his character.

However, Rawal is wonderful and carries with a flourish much of the film.
Beat cop Tukaram Patil (Paresh Rawal), corrupt to the core but humorous to the hilt, turns out to be a great character, shining his torch not at the crevices of crime but at the follies of the force.

A paean to Mumbai suddenly seems like its bitterest critique but it is the way it is.

In essence, the underlying theme of Mumbai Meri Jaan is to show the city's mood in the face of odds.
The theme of the movie is commendable

Nevertheless, the movie is worth watching.
