Bombay Talkies : Mere Reflection or Mirror of Indian Cinema


A Much Hyped Movie not only among Indian Cinema Lovers but among Film fraternity as well and which is projected as Tribute to 100 Years of Indian Cinema; but is it worth watching or stands in words as "Tribute" to 100 years of Indian Cinema ???

Cinema for Indians is not a source of Entertainment but is  passion, Love, madness of Indians( We viewers)  who once used to live in "Amarvhitra Katha " and has been grown up by listening to bed time stories........ and now in absence of that try to find the same in Cinema.
We try to co-relate ourselves with Drama and Emotions of Cinema or craftsman of Cinema takes the same from our life. Here, whatever I am stating is in context of 'moderate cinema' which identifies with us or vice a versa. 
Here, it is important to mention the so called "Filmi Songs" which are like healer of Our Soul or atleast we feel the same healing or co-relate it with situational scene of cinema where songs have magical affect on life of protagonist of Movie. Probably by looking at this character of ourselves, it is been said that Cinema and Cricket (Lets skip it at the moment and stick to Topic of Cinema right now) are in Blood of Indians.

So, this movie in its Four Segments try to focus on madness of Cinema Viewers and its effect on their life  though the darker side of this addiction (in better word "Love for this form of Art" and Popular word "Filmi Keera" ) is effortlessly avoided but not at the cost of Cinematic Liberty or prerogative of our Filmmakers and the same cannot be questioned.

Therefore, This is surely a movie which must be watched, applauded and encouraged ..... But on issues of it being called as  "Tribute to 100 years of India Cinema" I disagree..... I better term it as "Four Connected Compartment of Indian Cinematic Rail" which has much more compartments not connected with this Rail.
