Review
The film is both the best and the worst Bombay capturing films. Though the camera takes you to different streets of Bombay, yet it will not connect you with this city. There are a few comical situations, but the way these are presented dilutes the same. In short, the film is all about a good script, but it roams without any aim till the climax. Now, talking about the performances, Radhika Apte is seen as usual as she was. She has once again proved that she is a natural actor. Others like Akshay Oberoi has done a decent job while playing the immature Pintu. Siddhanth Kapoor in a role of a Scooty rider justified his character. Amit Sial in the role of a CID officer too has done a decent job and Adil Hussain and Ravi Kishan also have played well their roles.
Talking about the direction part, it went decent but was ruined to some extent with the perplexed screenplay. You can find too many scenes that mar the thrill. It treads complex routs to maintain the thrill. But as the film movies ahead, you get to see some sense in it. The music is okay while the solo song goes okay. Also, the background music is nice.
Bombairiya The Last Word
With all said and done the film is a big mess on the silver screen. Thanks to the unnecessary addition of confusion are seen taking away all the thrill. All, we can say that the efforts of the makers were genuine but seemed hampered in a big way with poor execution part.
