Usually when we watch a movie we are
looking forward for enjoyable time. A lot of people only tend to focus on the
plot but ignore other aspects which make a movie incredible. For me Bombay
Velvet was utterly an incredible movie because it is not an expected genre for
a Bollywood movie.
It’s sad to see a lot of negative
reviews about Bombay Velvet but for me it was refreshing to see a Bollywood
movie which was a complete package. Ranbir Kapoor and Karan Johar stole the
limelight with superb acting. Kapoor did justice to the challenging role of
Johnny Balraj whereas Johar was flawless being Khambhata. Supporting cast did
decent job as well.
What I loved about the movie were three
things mainly.
The Art direction:
Set in 1960’s -70’s the movie has captured true essence of that era with beautiful
costumes, sets and props. Anushka Sharma wears stunning dresses as a jazz club
singer. And to all those vintage car lovers out there, this movie is a must
watch for you guys.
Cinematography: The cinematographer
has taken some daring shots and did not go with the regular mid shots which you
would see in every other movie. Action shots particularly are very well taken
which I loved.
Sound: Not only the
songs but the background score was very well blended in the narrative.
The story picks up faster after the
interval so I would suggest if you are planning to watch the movie be patient,
enjoy the acting, art direction and sound and let the story just be there as a
supporting element.
All an all great direction by Anurag
Kashya and I am looking forward to see Ranbir Kapoor winning a Filmfare for
this movie.
