Bringing Back | Editor's Pen

Hi Friends,

Bombay Talkies is bringing the best of the current generation on screen in an anthology of four short films. These shorts are directed by Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar and Karan Johar which ensures potent mix of mainstream and offbeat cinema. The starcast boasts of likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Rani Mukherjee.

Bombay Talkies seems to be an apt tribute to Indian Cinema which completes 100 years this year.


These two words - Bombay and Talkies - represent old school hangover. When Mumbai was Bombay and we still used Talkies for film theatres. Today, its unimaginable but films used to run in theatres for 25 weeks uninterrupted. Somethings haven't changed yet... actors being adored by public even when they are in their late forties.

Bombay Talkies sounds to be a perfect combination. Some old school, some new wave.
