Bombay Talkies is a film that gives you what all good films should: stories, emotion, drama and people you want to know.

It eulogizes Bollywood, but in a Bollywood-crazy nation it is like preaching to the converted. More short-lived aftertaste of a music video or a good commercial than gratification.

Mint

The film is impressive for the thought process gone behind each story in the anthology. It leaves a warm afterglow reminding us that cinema in India flourished thanks to its audience.

One of those infrequent movies wherein you get to eyeball the superior efforts of four top notch film-makers in less than two hours. This reality alone makes the film a compelling watch
