Movie Talk : Bombay Velvet

Lepas jumpa boss dekat Zee and settlekan hal bank, I decided to watch Bombay Velvet and Piku. Piku's review bakal menyusul,nak cerita Bombay Velvet dulu, as requested by didiey,kekna and ara dekat twitter. Sebenarnya boleh je review dekat twitter tapi tak cukup words.


Directed by : Anurag Kasyap
Music by : Amit Trivedi
Starring by : Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Karan Johar, Vivaan Shah, Kay Kay Menon, Manish Choudhary

Bombay Velvet is about Johnny Balraj (Ranbir Kapoor), a street fighter who turns mobster, Rosie Noronha (Anushka Sharma), jazz singer from Goa yang lari from her sugar daddy and Kaizad Khambata (Karan Johar), media tycoon yang sibuk nak pertahankan his business empire,dengan apa cara sekalipun.

Johhny ada satu aim je dalam hidup dia,to become "a big shot" (kaya,powerful etc). He tried to rob Kaizad tapi gagal, and Kaizad offers Johnny to run his restaurant/pub Bombay Velvet and Johhny yang tamak accepts it. In return, Johnny kena buat apa yang Kaizad suruh, including bunuh orang. Rosie dihantar oleh Jimmy Mistry (Manish Choudhary), a newspaper editor to Bombay Velvet, to ruin Kaizad's business. 


Plot twist, Rosie and Johnny fall in love. Rosie decided to betray Jimmy because she loves Johnny so much. Manusia-manusia dekat Bombay semua tamak menyebabkan menteri suruh Kaizad bunuh Johnny because he's a threat. Johnny palsukan kematian Rosie sebab nak selamatkan Rosie,tapi sayang seribu kali sayang kantoi dengan polis. 

At the end,Kaizad hantar orang untuk bunuh Johnny tapi gagal, Kaizad culik Rosie, Johnny as a hero pergi selamatkan Rosie. Kaizad tembak Rosie, Johnny marah,Kaizad tembak Johnny tapi peluru habis, Johnny tikam Kaizad sampai mati. Depan Bombay Velvet, polis tahan Johnny and tembak dia, Johnny mati. Rosie hidup, moves back to Goa and still singing for Johnny.

What I like about Bombay Velvet:

1. The background music and soundtracks, kudos to Amit Trivedi. He definitely nailed the jazz songs and musics.


2. Karan Johar as Kaizad Khambata. Besides the music, Kjo's acting are the saving grace of this movie. Aku lagi excited tengok Kjo berlakon dari Ranbir. Part Kjo gelak masa Ranbir tak faham english tu sumpah lawak. 


3. Bombay Velvet's set and costumes. Anushka Sharma's costumes semua lawa lawa,especially the white gown nak satu please.

What I dislike about Bombay Velvet:

1. Where to start eh? banyak benda aku tak suka pasal movie ni. K memula the story. 2 jam setengah macam takde arah tuju,aku siap menguap lepastu menyesal sebab beli tiket.

2. Berape kali Ranbir kena bawak watak degil? After Rockstar, Wake Up Sid, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, can Ranbir actually bawak watak lain sikit. Haritu kecewa tengok dia in Roy, harini double kecewa tengok dia dalam Bombay Velvet. Ranbir seriously need to think about his career sebab there's many young actors out there who shinier than him like Sushant, Ranveer, even Ayushman!

3. Membazir buat set props memahal habis berjuta tapi tak tunjuk the whole city pun. And boleh nampak banyak scene kena buang. Padanlah Raveena Tandon bising.

4. Kalau bukak youtube ada music video Mohabbat Buri Bimari, tapi dalam movie takde sebab dah cut scene tu. Plus, in the movie bukan Anushka yang nyanyi tapi Raveena

5. Story dia simple je, pasal tamak and love. Tak paham macam mana the original duration boleh jadi 3.5 hours, dengan jalan cerita gitu, boleh habis dalam sejam setengah je


Overall, 5.5/10 for Bombay Velvet. Sebenarnya nak bagi 3/10 tapi extra 2.5 for the music and Karan Johar's act.

Kalau rasa nak pergi tengok,better don't. Tunggu download je. Serious macam nak refund balik duit tiket. I love Ranbir and Anushka, but Bombay Velvet dah bazirkan their talent, especially Ranbir's.
