‘Bombay Velvet’ is just watchable

Ambition isn't a bad thing at all for a film. But when a big budget Mumbai movie sets the bar too high for itself, it inevitably courts the peril of falling short. Bombay Velvet, a stylishly mounted period crime drama,does just that. It flatters to deceive. But, to director Anurag Kashyap's credit, he at least attempts an act of daring. So what if he ends up paying a price for it.
