Bombay Velvet: Twitter reacts to Ranbir-Anushka's love story
Anurag Kashyap's grand tribute to the Bombay of the 60s, Bombay Velvet, doesn't seem to have done much even when it comes to impressing the Twitterati.
Anurag Kashyap's grand tribute to the Bombay of the 60s, Bombay Velvet, doesn't seem to have done much even when it comes to impressing the Twitterati. The Ranbir Kapoor-Anushka Sharma-Karan Johar-starrer has been largely panned by critics, and the reactions of the people who have watched the film, too, aren't very different.
While the initial Box Office collections are yet to come in, trends suggest that the film hasn't fared very well at the counters. And as far as social networking sites are concerned, Bombay Velvet's grand, eloquent look seems to have done little to woo Twitter.
The film's release has led to Bombay Velvet featuring among the top trends in India on Twitter currently, and has evoked reactions ranging from hilarious ones to those of disappointment at the film. Sample some of them:
Modiji timed his China visit so that he could avoid seeing Bombay Velvet Atul Khatri (@one_by_two) May 15, 2015
