2. Ranbir-Anushka’s sizzling chemistry in their first screen outing together.
3. Karan’s full-fledged acting debut and that too as a menacing villain in the Ranbir-Anushka love story.
4. A gripping, romantic thriller that promises to raise your curiosity about what happens to the duo’s romance.
5. Detailed art direction that recreates Bombay, the historic dream city of India, not seen in films for a while.
6. Ranbir’s first real action role — from Tommy guns to fist fights, the heartthrob has become a true-blue gangster from the 60s.
7. Anurag’s research of the subject. From background and history, the film reportedly sticks to the facts — from corruption to crime to the city’s underbelly — that transpired when Bombay was going through its transition at that time.
8. Authentic look and costumes of the characters. The film not only recreates the era, but also immerses you in it.
9. Strong supporting cast like Kay Kay Menon, Manish Chaudhuri, Satyadeep Misra and Vivaan Shah, who have pulled off fabulous performances.
10. The music draws from the movie’s milieu and is quintessentially the Hindi jazz prevalent in the city in that era.
Bombay Velvet, produced by Phantom Films and Fox Star Studios, releases today.
