Having a transferable job his Akshay's family had to move to Mumbai when his a 3 year-old in a one-room abode in Sion Koliwada region.

Suprisingly Akshay gained admission to Don Bosco school without interviewing. He learnt from his father that he threw a paper into the waste-paper basket on his own lying on the floor. This courteous gesture was seen by Father Gatty thereby granting him instant admission.

Akshay in an interview with Times of India admitted that he was the type of kid who always spent more time playing in the gallis than studying. His father being a former state-representing wrestler understood his interests and sent him to Bangkok after quitting Khalsa College just opposite to his school to learn Martial Arts. In Bangkok Akshay would join Metro Guest House as a cook at the same time learnt Thai boxing and Tai Chi. He currently holds a Sixth-Degree Black Belt in Martial Art and is among the 15 or so to do so in India.

Critical reception

Upon release, Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara! received mixed to negative reviews. Noted film critic and analyst, Rajeev Masand writing for CNN-IBN gave the film stars and said "Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbai Dobaara is the equivalent of getting a root canal." He criticised the naivety of the three main leads, describing them as "plain stupid". He also derided Akshay for his on-screen "in-your-face flamboyance" which paled when compared to Ajay Devgn's "sexy nonchalance". He also heaped scorn on the "rat-a-tat punch lines" and Imran Khan, who appeared to be an "urban rich kid slumming it out at a dress-up party". He noted a few strong points such as Sonali Bendre's spirited cameo as Mumtaz and a particularly intelligent scene where Shoiab walks into a police station seemingly to surrender himself but claimed them to be "small mercies in a major misfire".

Writing for The Times of India, Madhureeta Mukherjee awarded the film stars, telling readers to "Watch this story of deewana dons and their dilrubas. There's nothing criminal about it!" She appraised Milan Luthria for being able to capture the essence and aroma of the period in which it is set. She also praised Kumar's acting and portrayal of the Don, Shoaib Khan with "bhai act with flamboyance and mojo. He gets a chance to do what he does best – herogiri (albeit less menacing, more entertaining), with charisma and clap-trap dialoguebaazi." Although she pointed to Imran Khan's ill-at-ease way of playing a rogue and the second half of the film being less engaging than the previous due to dialogue adding drama to the story, claiming it to get "at times too overbearing". She ended with saying "This film has its moments, but it's not as compelling as the prequel."

Subhra Gupta writing for The Indian Express gave the film stars and said that "After all the shoot-outs and bang-bangs are over, you are left with a film which leaves you with so little new that you wonder if there's any juice left in this style of retro gangsta flick. Or are we heading for a third-time-in-Mumbai-Tibara?" Gupta heavily criticised Sonakshi's act as the "goody-two-shoes" heroine Jasmine who is "more naïve than any young woman has the right to be".

Reviewing the film for Koimoi, Mohar Basu gave the title stars and said that "OUATIMD lacks the effervescence and naturalness of its prequel. The vibrancy of the script is diluted with hard-to-believe romance, minimal story; the film falters due to lack of action and the calamity that OUATIMD reflected in abundance. This one isn't really a dull bore but fails to spark off the enigma of the former edition! Crime thrillers and love dramas shouldn't be mingled, it results in an insipid broth like this." Basu disliked the overtness of melodrama in the film; its lack of euphoric stand-out moments in part because of the "lazy" script, claiming it falls apart when compared to its predecessor; the lack-lustred chemistry between the leads and the intended surprise for the audience when Sonakshi declares her lover whilst rejecting another. She questioned the existence of the plot's core theme of obsession over romance which seems out of the blue, considering there are "barely any tender moments or delicate minutes of love". She called Akshay Kumar sleazy in his dialogue delivery, outright hilarious at times for failing to add depth, charisma or persona in a role that "Emraan Hashmi had immortalized". She described Sonakshi Sinha's character as a "chatterbox replete with idiocracy" while saying Imran Khan was "trying-too-hard-to-be-suave", and that the film further imposes the impression of his inherent inability to act. The only highs of the film according to Basu are Sonali Bendre's compelling and convincing act in a single solid scene where she effortlessly conveys the emotional carnage Shoaib's love had caused her over the years and the action scenes in the first hour of the film, notably when both Kumar and Khan jump over a terrace together which showed glimpses of the "panache of what it had attempted on".
