Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

floradanes-89011 I read a lot of negative reviews and jokes about this movie.Saw it just to see how bad it really is.I am shocked! This was one of the best movies I have ever watched. From the sets, cinematography to amazing performances from all actors this movie was a treat to watch.I loved everything including Karan Johar as a badass gangster!This movie is way better that usual brainless garbage that comes out of Bollywood and deserves to appreciated not ridiculed the way it has been.

Thamizh Thamiizh Don't read all the negative reviews given by idiotic people out there...they are just useless and don't know to watch any kind of movies...its an excellent crime thriller and both the lead actors deserve a great applause...the movie is up to Hollywood standard that no one should miss to watch this kind of movies in their life..hats off to the director and the team to produce these kind of films...its an excellent film...its an excellent film...its an excellent film...its an excellent film...its an excellent film...its an excellent film...its an excellent film...its an excellent film...its an excellent film...its an excellent film...its an excellent film...

Animesh Pandey Anurag Kashyap,This is an open letter to you from a die hard fan of your movies. I thought 'Bombay Velvet' would be a grand epic from the Quentin Tarantino of India. What it turned out, actually, was a grandeur sans soul, a nice flick with a weak script. Sardar Khan and Faizal be like : Ee Kaa Tha Be? (What was this?)What was left, Sir? You had money, you had designs, you even had good actors like Ranbir, Anushka, Kay Kay Menon, Manish Chaudhari, and even a sophisticated villain in Karan Johar? You created the mesmerizing Bombay of the 60s, you had everything to your command. Why, why in the name of seven hells did you go wrong on the script?The Script? It could have got more teeth, the Kaizad Khambatta could have got more ruthlessness,more cruelty, the Johnny Balraj & Rosie Noronha's struggles could've got more tissues from our sides. The Jamshed 'Jimmi' Mistry's causes could've been more hypocrite. Bombay Velvet could've been the urban version of 'Gangs of Wasseypur'. Why you didn't do it? We've seen the Rakesh Maria & Tiger Memon of Black Friday, we've loved the Dukey Bana and Ransa of Gulaal, we've even adored the entire Khan , Singh & Qureshi clan of 'Gangs of Wasseypur'. I never expected this from you.I was literally disappointed man.Anurag, I needed an epic from you. You gave grandeur, the songs are awesome, but the story, your flick's Brahmastra, ne aapke reputation ki keh ke li! I hope a bloodier epic next time, in your ishtyle! Yours sincerely, A Fan

Ajit Tiwari "Bombay Velvet", Anurag Kashyap's most ambitious project riding on 90 crores, based on the "Mumbai Fables" by Gyan Prakash. It starts just after the Indian independence and tells the story of how the seven islands become Bombay, the reclamation, corrupt politician, organized crime, Jazz cafés and love story of Johnny Balraj and Rosie.Balraj comes to Bombay with his mother and wants to become "Big Shot" and he can go to any length to achieve his dreams.We all admire Anurag Kashyap for the cinematic brilliance and he has taken the affliction of taking the Indian Cinema to the next level. We all have seen "Black Friday", "Dev D","Gulaal", "GOW 1&2" and "Ugly". He is a man with panache and his movies deal with burning issues and fantastic subjects. However, "Bombay Velvet" fell really short on all aspects, it never embraces you as a viewer and it never connects with you.It has a world-class art direction, awesome sets of Bombay erected in Sri Lanka, fantastic cinematography and CGI. Every nuance of 60's Bombay has been put to the detail. The background score is mostly loud but some songs compliment the scenes. It runs for 150 delirious minutes.However, the writing is never convincing, it tries to be "Godfather", "Goodfellas" and "Scarface" altogether. The culmination is pretty sour as we never understand the sudden changes. There are many subplots which do not add anything to the story and left open.Ranbir's character is powerful but it is confused between a gangster and a lover. Anushka Sharma doesn't have much to do except lip sync and some exaggerated scenes. Karan Johar looks phony as a slick and stylish villain but he is flat throughout the movie. Why did he laugh so much on the word "Tender", it looked awful? Satyadeep Mishra has done a good job. Kay Kay impresses as always in a small role.We could also see Varun Grover's stand-up comedy presentation in the café.This could have been a way better film if some more time would have been invested in writing because it has some instances of being a masterpiece.
