[Bombay Velvet] is lengthy, violent and emotionally shallow but brilliantly stylish bolly-noir. Oct 24, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's the high-gloss realization of that world that affords many of the pic's most delicious pleasures. Apr 19, 2016 | Full Review…

Too melodramatic to be a j'accuse about the dodgy origins of modern-day Indian prosperity, too explicitly preachy to be a gangster-and-moll romance and too stylistically incoherent to be a piece of guilty-pleasure entertainment. Apr 19, 2016 | Full Review…

For much of its first half, Bombay Velvet hums with the kind of energy found in movies by the 1970s American directors Mr. Kashyap seems to admire. (Martin Scorsese is thanked in the head credits.) May 21, 2015 | Full Review…

Where Bombay Velvet comes up short for me, and this is a big one in my book, is that it feels clinical and rigid, where Kashyap's films are usually so well paced and fluid. Nov 3, 2017 | Full Review…

The factors that work in favour of Bombay Velvet outnumber those that do not. For one, Kashyap elicits fairly restrained performances from most of the cast. Apr 19, 2016 | Full Review…

Bombay Velvet is a moderate Hollywood imitation; significant for the craft it brings on screen, but little more than an excessive footnote in a universal genre. I'd rather revisit On The Waterfront or Goodfellas instead. Apr 19, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Bombay Velvet makes for a good one-time watch primarily due to good performances from its lead actors and a reminder of a forgotten era. Apr 19, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The American gangster films weren't big on complex characterisation either, but their narrative style had the directness, smoothness and impact of machine-gun fire. They also had sharp dialogue, which Bombay Velvet misses. Apr 19, 2016 | Full Review…

All the rich visual layers and authenticity cannot save Bombay Velvet, which is at best a one-dimensional story with characters whose fate the audience will be able to predict within the first 20 minutes. May 21, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
