Story: Johnny Balraj fixes big deals in 1960s Bombay - but what happens when Johnny becomes a thorn for the city's smoothest powers?
Review: It's 1969 in a Bombay of Prohibition but no inhibition, with money in the sea breeze, land sharks cutting deals and gangsters carving up competition. Ambitious Johnny Balraj (Ranbir), dreaming of becoming a big shot, is used by ruthless magnate Kaizaad Khambata (Karan) to fix business and settle scores. Johnny adores jazz singer Rosie (Anushka) and with buddy Chiman (Satyadeep), manages Kaizaad's Bombay Velvet nightclub where Rosie performs.

What happens when Rosie turns out to be a pawn of Jimmy Mistry (Manish), Khambata's foe? And when the Mayor of Bombay (Siddharth) decides Johnny's getting in his way?
Bombay Velvet is one of the most stylish-looking Hindi films, its glowing cinematography and sharp detailing presenting a heady, greedy city, full of nightmares and dreams. Its performances create an eye-catching vintage world - where Ranbir Kapoor smashes it as a Raj Kapoor-like Johnny Balraj. Ranbir's melting eyes and goofy grin stay with you, as does his supple energy and suddenly steely jaw. Anushka impresses as Rosie, her wide-eyed, brittle sadness evoking Audrey Hepburn, wandering through Breakfast at Tiffany's.
