== Reception ==
Sreeparna Sengupta for ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated 3.5/5 and wrote "Directors Francis Longhurst and Raaghav Dar tell it like it is - using first person narratives and archival footage to piece together a compelling documentary. The intriguing background music (Rishi Rich) and gritty, grainy re-dramatisations of certain portions, bring alive the 80s and 90s feel."<ref>{{cite news |last=Sengupta |first=Sreeparna |title=Mumbai Mafia: Police vs The Underworld Review: A chilling, riveting crime documentary that explores Mumbai's underbelly and the underworld |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/mumbai-mafia-police-vs-the-underworld/ottmoviereview/96730685.cms |access-date=7 January 2023 |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=7 January 2023}}{{rating|3.5|5}}</ref>

Tina Das for ''[[ThePrint]]'' rated 4.5/5 stars and wrote "The documentary traces the rise and fall of the cops, including that of Vijay Salaskar, another [[encounter specialist]] who was killed in action during 26/11. And how their popularity inspired multiple Bollywood movies, and a near cult following among local people. But the tide turned soon after a TIME magazine report in 2003 that raised questions on the police’s credibility and the ‘encounters’ it had conducted."<ref>{{cite news |last=Das |first=Tina |title=Watch Mumbai Mafia if 'D-Company', encounters and the 'terror' of Bombay still intrigue you |url=https://theprint.in/features/reel-take/watch-mumbai-mafia-if-d-company-encounters-and-the-terror-of-bombay-still-intrigue-you/1302966/ |access-date=8 January 2023 |work=[[ThePrint]] |date=7 January 2023}}{{rating|4.5|5}}</ref>

Mrinal Rajaram of ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' felt the documentary missed a lot of historical fact and wrote "There is no mention of Haji Mastan, Varadarajan Mudaliar, and Karim Lala—three mainstays of that milieu. Their influence had begun receding in the ’80s but they were still around. Chhota Rajan, a former key aide of Dawood’s, is not brought up in conversation, either."<ref>{{cite news |last=Rajaram |first=Mrinal |title='Mumbai Mafia: Police vs the Underworld' review: A good documentary, despite its flaws |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2023/jan/10/mumbai-mafia-police-vs-the-underworld-review-a-good-documentary-despite-its-flaws-2536387.html |access-date=10 January 2023 |work=[[The New Indian Express]] |date=10 January 2023}}{{rating|3|5}}</ref>

Ajit Andhare of ''[[Deccan Chronicle]]'' wrote "A.A. Khan, Ravindra Angre, and most importantly Pradeep Sharma take us through the sinister underbelly of Mumbai in 90s when the underworld ruled the roost and it was a war between pistols and AK-47s."<ref>{{cite news |last=Andhare |first=Ajit |title=Movie Review {{!}} Mumbai Mafia: A blast from the past |url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/070123/movie-review-mumbai-mafia-a-blast-from-the-past.html |access-date=7 January 2023 |work=[[Deccan Chronicle]] |date=7 January 2023 |language=en}}</ref>

Manik Sharma for ''[[Firstpost]]'' wrote "Mumbai Mafia’s strength is obviously its intimate access to Tangre, Sharma and Khan. These men fronted the takedown of a burgeoning empire that rocked the country, let alone the financial capital. Both Tangre and Sharma speak dispassionately, as if hardened to resemble metallic droids that have gathered rust as a form of safety mechanism."<ref>{{cite news |last=Sharma |first=Manik |title=Mumbai Mafia Police vs The Underworld review: Familiar tale successfully finds a new lens |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/mumbai-mafia-police-vs-the-underworld-review-familiar-tale-successfully-finds-a-new-lens-11943922.html |access-date=7 January 2023 |work=[[Firstpost]] |date=7 January 2023 |language=en}}</ref>

Simran Srivastav for ''[[Dainik Jagran|English Jagran]]'' wrote "The documentary brilliantly shows the horrific shootout at Lokhandwala from the first-hand encounter of Minty Tejpal. Meanwhile, author and former investigative journalist Hussain Zaidi shares his in-depth research on the fight of Mumbai police against the mafias."<ref>{{cite news |last=Srivastav |first=Simran |title=Mumbai Mafia Police Vs Underworld Review: Dreadful Incidents From City's Harrowing Past Find New Perspectives |url=https://www.thedailyjagran.com/entertainment/mumbai-mafia-police-vs-underworld-review-netflix-dreadful-incidents-from-citys-harrowing-past-find-new-perspectives-10060231 |access-date=7 January 2023 |work=[[Dainik Jagran|Jagran English]] |date=7 January 2023 |language=en}}</ref>

Mrinal Rajaram of ''[[Cinema Express]]'' rate 3/5 stars and wrote "Mumbai Mafia does well to glean various perspectives from across the board, painting of a vivid picture. It is as critical of the ruthless mafia as it is of extrajudicial murders being routinely carried out by the police."<ref>{{cite news |last=Rajaram |first=Mrinal |title=Mumbai Mafia: Police vs the Underworld Review: A good documentary, despite its flaws |url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/hindi/review/2023/jan/07/mumbai-mafia-police-vs-the-underworld-reviewa-good-documentary-despite-its-flaws-38503.html |access-date=7 January 2023 |work=[[Cinema Express]] |date=7 January 2023 |language=en}}{{rating|3|5}}</ref>

Lubaba Mahjabin Prima for ''[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)|The Daily Star]]'' wrote "The documentary delves deep and explores several concepts untapped before. Encounters are viewed from the police force's point of view. The inner thoughts and professional dynamics that go on are narrated. On the other hand, how often lack of opportunities and belonging trap men into the structure of organized crime is depicted."<ref>{{cite news |last=Prima |first=Lubaba Mahjabin |title='Mumbai Mafia: Police vs The Underworld' -Revisiting Mumbai's tumultuous era |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/entertainment/tv-film/news/mumbai-mafia-police-vs-the-underworld-revisiting-mumbais-tumultuous-era-3214741 |access-date=7 January 2023 |work=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)|The Daily Star]] |date=7 January 2023 |language=en}}</ref>

''Tittle Press'' wrote in their review "Globally, Mumbai Mafia: Police vs. Underworld the documentary is a must see. This is not a typical cops vs. bad guy saga. It explains how the definition of villains changes over time."<ref>{{cite news |title=Mumbai Mafia: Police Vs the Underworld Review: Compelling documentary about the harrowing past of the city and its people |url=https://tittlepress.com/entertainment/2212431/ |access-date=7 January 2023 |work=TittlePress |date=6 January 2023}}</ref>
