Bombairiya

Watched the movie with high hopes only to get disappointed half way through.

The plot was great but the screenplay, editing and direction were all very weak.

Director seemed confused whether to treat the movie as comedy or serious

A creative endeavour that is fast paced and keeps you on toes with bouts of comedy, mystery and inspiration throughout. A refreshing and optimised take on story telling. Very engaging movie addressing a much ignored aspect of judicial system of developing countries . Recommended for cine goers looking for a fresh perspective.

Bombairiya is a comedy movie directed by Pia Sukanya and stars Radhika Apte, Siddhant Kapoor, Akshay Oberoi, Adil Hussain, Ravi Kishan, Amit Sial, Shilpa Shukla and Abhinay Deo.

The movie has an interesting plot which could've been developed in a great black comedy but the comedy of errors proved more errors and less comedy.

The acting is good in fact Siddhant Kapoor was surprisingly good, rest all actors were decent and quite impressive.

Screenplay is quite lacklustre and the makers were trying to make a complicated movie in order to hold the suspense till very end but with a very amateurish approach turned the movie into a confused rather chaotic movie.

The randomness also fails to evoke the interest and hence the movie which was expected as a dark humour with some suspense turns into a futile attempt.

#Bombairiya is one terrible mess. It has too many characters. A lady whos mobile phone is stolen - the phone which contains a hot video - the man who tries to help her retrieve it - the mans parents who r on the lookout for a bahu - the ladys ex boyfriend whos a fading actor - a lady politician who joins hands with the actor - the phone thief who has a parcel to deliver. How r they linked? Dont even bother to find out. Performances r decent, but the direction is chaotic. Running time should be reduced by 25 minutes. Rating 2/5.

"Funny with a depth" are my favorite kind of movies and this ones lives right up to it. I don't understand why this has gotten such a low rating because the story is phenomenal, and the acting complement the narrative. It was a treat to watch. Don't read the reviews before you watch the movie, watch it for yourself and then decide.
