We regularly screen Bollywood movies at our Encino theater and on Friday, May 15 we’ve got a good one slated. BOMBAY VELVET is an amalgam of Cotton Club, Scarface and Good Fellas. The official synopsis by the film’s U.S. distributor reads “Set against the backdrop of Bollywood’s Golden Age, BOMBAY VELVET is a noir from acclaimed director Anurag Kashyap and stars Ranbir Kapoor (Barfi), Anushka Sharma (PK), and Karan Johar (My Name is Khan) in a story about an ordinary man who must forge his destiny in the City of Dreams.” This music video will give you a good idea of the energy, production values and tone of the movie. (Interesting to note the continual appearance of the text “SMOKING KILLS” that appears each time somebody a character in the film is depicted smoking a cigarette. This is a requirement of the Indian censors and will only appear on prints that are set to play in India.)
