Mostafa, the inspiration for producing City of Life came from his frustration with people comparing Dubai to a Disneyland.

Like any other city in the world, my film shows both the positives and the negatives."[1] ReceptionBox officeAccording to data produced by Italia Film International the movie ranked second in the local box office and successfully made over 500,000 dirhams in its first weekend.[2]
