Review of Bombay Talkie (1970) by Himanshu G — 09 May 2009
Interesting concept of a american writer and a much married bollywood star falling in love. The problem is no character development and very poor execution of the concept. The second half of the movie is a torture to watch.
Jennifer Kendal's performance is allright; Shashi Kapoor performance has moments of charm but Zia Mohyeddin's intense role steals the show from them.
I have 2 other Merchant Ivory-Shashi Kapoor films to watch next- Shakespeare Wallah and the Householder- hope they can re-ignite my love for Anglo-Indian productions!
