Bombay Velvet - serenading the city of dreams

A stylised, detailed and perfected, velvety walk into the retro gallery of gangsters and glamour dolls, of passion and retribution. Love and life become nightmarish in the budding city of dreams, an impeccably re-created Bombay of 1960s. Ranbir (restless soul with a crazed look in eyes aiming to die like a 'big shot') and Anushka ( jazz singer with exaggerated, gothic inspired makeup and elaborate costumes and pouts) shine through, while Karan Johar is more comical than sinister. A sore, jarring factor is the constant smoking by every character in the movie ! Did nothing to add to the cool quotient of the movie but made me seriously worry if I'll start coughing by the end of the movie ! Now, if only the audiences get lured into watching a 'hatke' movie and cough up enough moolah to make such ambitious and self-indulgent ventures financially viable projects in future. Wait n watch.
