| Film Journal InternationalTomris LafflyOverlong Bollywood flick with impressive musical ballads and production values but slight dramatic power. |
| Time OutAnil Sinanan[Bombay Velvet] is lengthy, violent and emotionally shallow but brilliantly stylish bolly-noir. |
| Gulf News (UAE)Manjusha RadhakrishnanBombay Velvet makes for a good one-time watch primarily due to good performances from its lead actors and a reminder of a forgotten era. |
| ScreenAnarchyJ HurtadoWhere Bombay Velvet comes up short for me, and this is a big one in my book, is that it feels clinical and rigid, where Kashyap's films are usually so well paced and fluid. |
| Hindustan TimesRohit VatsThanks to fantastic CGI, [director Anurag Kashayp's] sets look authentic and provide a credible backdrop to the characters. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeIt’s the high-gloss realization of that world that affords many of the pic’s most delicious pleasures: “Bombay Velvet” is an extravagant canvas for both production designer Sonal Sawant and costume designer Niharika Bhasin Khan, one on which even apparent anachronisms look calculated. |
| The New York TimesRachel SaltzFor much of its first half, Bombay Velvet hums with the kind of energy found in movies by the 1970s American directors....Mr. Kashyap is perhaps too faithful to his Bollywood imperatives, though. In the grand tradition, his film is overlong (149 minutes) and overplotted. |
| Scroll.inNandini RamnathThe American gangster films weren't big on complex characterisation either, but their narrative style had the directness, smoothness and impact of machine-gun fire. They also had sharp dialogue, which Bombay Velvet misses. |
| User ReviewJohn UBombastic, spectacular, magnificent, epic film! loved it! loved it! loved it! Four thumbs up if I had four of them! |
| User ReviewNadia MFantastic storytelling, ranbir should get an award for the acting, great camera work! Not your traditional Indian drama! |
