Mafia Wars is a themed on the Mafias which involves game activities like robbing properties, smuggling etc. One popular aspect of the game is City based missions where in the activities revolved around the nature of the city. Mafia Wars has been constantly releasing new city based missions and right now New York, Cuba, Moscow and Las Vegas are the permanent city missions available in Mafia Wars.

Mafia Wars also keeps releasing limited edition city based missions. A while back, Paris Mission was released for a few days in which all the game mission activities and the rewards were related to the city of Paris.

Recently, to justify the participation of Indian user base in the Mafia Wars game, Mafia Wars has released a Limited Edition ‘Mumbai Mission’ entirely dedicated to the city of Mumbai.

Code named ‘Make a Killing At The Box Office’, the mission has a bollywood theme in almost everything. To get into the mission, you require items which in this case involves “Bollywood Reels”. However, should you be eager to play even without getting the required reels, you can either invite more members to your Mafia or use the Reward Points to enter the mission

The jobs require you to have ‘Bollywood Reels’ and the job titles are aptly named ‘Steal a Bollywood Script’, ‘Re-write the film’s villian’.
