When I clicked on 'Write a Review' I was just thinking what to write, because this flick showcased things that are beyond words for me. I can never explain the true emotions for the movie in words. But lets try.
OKAY, so after watching movies like Race 2, Aatma, Himmatwala, Chashme Baddoor, Ek Th Dyan, Iron Man 3 etc. Finally I watched a meaningful, sensible, mature and cult cinema with Bombay Talkies which finally delivered what I was waiting for since the year started. Penultimate humor, drooling scenes, moving dialogs, sketchy screenplay and flawless execution in pure art form with no 'masala' makes it a masterpiece for me. Now I won't recommend it to all as for sure there'd be a group of people who will like it thoroughly and among them, even lesser will understand its true worth.
BOMBAY TALKIES.
** REVIEW & SUMMARY **
It is made to celebrate the 100 years of Indian Cinema and it shows its impact on our lives. That's the creme layer about it, deep within the movie basically deals with the THOUGHT PROCESS of different people, their mentality, approaches, reactions and treatment towards different topics and the way of life. It is also about the skills honed by them accordingly, shedding its root somehow or the other from an impact of Indian Cinema on them. Four ace directors come with four segments (25-30 minutes each) in total which are diversified by the topics they deal with and no strings attached in the stories. And hence let's dig deeper into them individually but in my second review.
For crisp and short, all in all, Bombay Talkies was a lovely journey, a delectable twist this year after so many trash movies, a brilliant and intellectual masterpiece, pure form of art and a tale that does not only celebrate the completion of 100 years of Indian cinema but also reacts as a mirror for us to wake up and think while relinquish this 'Watch the movie-leave the theater' attitude along with quenching the thirst for more of these kind of eccentric movies and the change of taste for commercial oriented audience and movie-makers. As a whole I would rate Bombay Talkies for its blunt and artistic approach towards commercial mass as 8.2/10.
