Dongri To Dubai: Six Decades of The Mumbai Mafia by S Hussain ZaidiMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
If you are interested in the underworld, you can read it once. The author gives a fleeting glimpse of oldies like Haji Mastan, Varda bhai etc. and mostly concentrates on Dawood. The book clearly reflects the author being a reporter as most of the book looks like several newspaper reports put together. A kind of linearity we expect on biographies is missing for the book. Still, you can read it to know about the life of Dawood and the rise of Mafia in Bombay.
