“Bombay Talkies” is an cocktail of four short films from directors: Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Karan Johar.
Karan's film stars Rani Mukherji, Randeep Hooda and Saqib Saleem. Its a Adult thriller which revolves around homosexuality. All the actors are spectacular in this part. Though the script is hold tight with superb screenplay, it ends with a climax which lacks luster. This half an hour movie is Karan's best work compared to his 3.5 hrs long movies.
Dibakar Banerjee’s film starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui is quite confusing and not well translated on screen.
Zoya's film has the most relevant story of a kid struggling between his dream and parents.
Anurag Kashyap's story is most interesting and well directed which revoles around Bachchan Mania. The story is about a Bachchan fan who wants to feed him Murabba, is unique and sharp.
The film being independent works of multiple directors suffers from one major flaw, there is no common link and relevance to the larger picture, Bombay Talkies, which celebrates 100 years of Cinema.
The item song at end with huge list of stars is easily forgettable and has zero effect on audience.
Its a different concept and interesting in parts.
