Bombairiya

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.

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

"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.

Do not watch with high expectation. First half is fun but the climax is dull. Radhika has enough potential to do better movies, for this one she does justice to her leading role.
