I watched again recently and the movies still has the magic.
If ever you want revenge or want to give it to your overbearing, jerkoff boss, this is the movie for you.
The teaming of Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton is so perfect as the three secretaries bent on revenge and Dabney Coleman rounds it out as the loser, backstabbing, chauvinist who everyone hates.
The three ladies imagine what it would be like to do him in, then through hilarious turns of events actually begin to do so.
A true comedy classic!

As it stands I thought it was a rollercoaster 2 hour plus ride that kept me and especially my wife on the edge of our seats.
Occasionally there were a few scenes that seemed a little corny or over dramatised for the big screen but that is usually the case.
The movie itself is very intense, emotional and there are scenes of very strong violence which are definitely not for the faint hearted.
Overall Hotel Mumbai is not an easy watch at times but if you are not easily offended then I would definitely recommend giving it a go.
