PERFORMANCES: Ranbir & Anushka both are very good.Karan Johar is also good in his negative role.In cameo role,Kay Kay Menon justifies his character.
MUSIC: composed by Amit Trivedi.He has created the reflection the age of 1960s Jazz era of Bollywood.The song "Fifi","Mohabbat Buri Bimari" are good composions.
It is one of the most stylish-looking Hindi films, its glowing cinematography and sharp detailing presenting a heady, greedy city, full of nightmares and dreams.Old bombay has been beautifully recreated by special effects.But script is very poor and boring.It fails to create any impact on audiences.Its very unnecessarily lengthy film.
Overall,Bomaby Velvet is average ,not up to the mark.It can watched once for cinematography and performances of Ranbir & Anushka.
