The velvet of crime fiction

To make an epic movie, director’s vision is always important. As when drama created as neo-noir concept, then requirement is too much study. After that, the art will form as best level. Then a epic movie can create. It is my thought. But am not make a single movie. I can’t think that level also.  But I believe Anurag Kashyap can create that type. And his upcoming movie ‘Bombay Velvet’ can change the definition of Indian film history.

Film noir is a French word. Which means ‘Black film’. American critic Nino Frank first discover the term for American Crime Dramas in early 1940 to late 1950. Historian Gyan Prakash’s book ‘Bombay Fables’ is the story of Bombay’60. Where crime was too much open. Indian film Industry was growing up. Crime also matured in city life. That is the timeline of story.

‘Bombay Velvet’ is a story of Boxer’s life. In the same time, story also tells jazz singer Rosie’s fight. One day their hope was collapsed and crisis of life. This is the basic story. Director Anurag Kashyap inspired by ‘Los Angeles Quartet’. The crime fiction is written by James Ellroy. The crime of Bombay was always panic full. Director Anurag Kashyap want to dig them properly. And the perfectionist director use them in a film. I think, master of art may be created.

The 2nd time in his career, Ranvir Kapoor will face a challenge. 1^st was ‘Barfi’. Now the time, he in lead role in ‘Bombay Velvet’ as boxer Johny Balraj. Anushka Sharma’s character is Rosie, a jazz singer. And renowned director Karan Johar will make debut as a lead actor. Where other actor and actresses are Ravina Tandon, Kay Kay Menon and Sidharth Basu.  The part of film shot at Sri Lanka’s Ranmihitenna Mahinda Rajapaksa National Tele Cinema Park. 1^st foreign film to be filmed there.  The film will release in 27 November.
