Review of Bombay Talkies

9/10
What was the point of this film??
7 May 2013
Boring film and doesn't represent Indian cinema! First of all Karan Johars film goes against out Indian culture and ethics. Being bold is one thing but this film is against Indian morals. Homosexuality is taboo in India and such a concept is not accepted here! So how can such a short film be included in a movie that celebrates cinema? Dibakar Banerjees film is OK, but too arty and a little odd also. Who was the character talking to, some ghost or some spirit? Also, why was he making such weird faces in front of his daughter? Zoya Akhtars film was embarrassing...Why was the boy dressing like a girl? Once again this goes against our Indian culture where a boy is to be a boy and girls have other things they are supposed to do. Very bizarre story.

Anurag Kashyaps film was OK. Liked the song and the actor also. But such an obsession seems too much...WHy would someone go to such trouble to give sweets to someone? But this film was better than the rest.

Basically in an Industry where masala movies and ENTERTAINING films do the best, how can a boring film like this represent 100 years of Indian cinema? Most Indians love the quality masala entertaining. Movies like "Dabanng"(1 and 2), "Rowdy Rathore", "Houseful", "Singham" and the Golmaal series do the BEST in the box office and they are better entertaining films. None of that was in this bombay talkies. Also the ending was OK because it had stars. But Bombay talkies is mainly filled with no famous people. No dancing also in Bombay talkies or item song.

So it's a mediocre film and boring. Only a film for mediocre people.
