Bombay Velvet: What Ranbir-Anushka-Karan Johar Starrer Is All About!
Bombay Velvet's trailer got launched yesterday, the movie has obtained mixed reviews from people. While some liked the whole feel of the movie boasting off about Karan Johar's acting prowess, some felt the trailer was long and uninteresting.
Bombay Velvet stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Karan Johar and Kay Kay Menon in pivotal roles. Directed by Anurah Kashyap the movie was supposed to star Shahrukh Khan or Aamir Khan in the lead roles but unfortunately Anurag could not convince either of them to accept the role.
The movie is based on historian Gyan Prakash's book Mumbai Fables.Prof Gyan is a historian specializing in Modern Indian History at Princeton, he has written a story about the journey of Bombay in the 1960's.
It is a story of a cage fighter, Johnny Balraj, and an aspiring jazz singer, Rosie, and how their dreams collide with the realities of life. What more, the leading couple of the movie will also be seen doing some heavy love making scenes.
If sources are to be believed then Ranbir and Anushka will share more than seven steamy lip-lock, the source said, "There will be seven kisses between Ranbir and Anushka. They look electrifying together and Anurag Kashyap has made good use of their crackling chemistry."
The movie is spread over 20 years and depicts the growth of each character like how Rosie will go on to become rich and famous. The movie seems to be quite interesting but sadly has received a lot of negative reviews criticizing each and every aspect of the movie like Anushka's barbie doll looks, Karan's over the top expressions etc.
But personally l feel the movie is intriguing and will be a sure shot winner among the audience. To know why I am saying so, you need to what Bombay Velvet is all about. So go on, read and I am sure you too shall like the movie...
