You sense his menacing madness as his "hobby" entails him to willing surrender to the hard blows in the boxing ring, or when he unflinchingly punctures bodies so they don't stay afloat after being dumped in the waters.
It's the moments when his lips are sealed, and his eyes do the talking, that are the most defining, and the mark of a great artist.
Anushka Sharma backs him up impressively. Even her pout isn't off-putting, and she plays Rosie with aplomb. It's their superlative performance that Bombay Velvet' rides on.
Unfortunately the same can't be said about director Karan Johar, who makes his acting debut as the conniving Khambatta. Despite being handed a powerful character, Karan is unable to inject him with fear or lunacy. He tries, quite honestly, but it never tallies up and turns him into the weakest link in Bombay Velvet'. When Khambatta subtly voices his preference for male companions or when he renames Balraj as Johny', it reduces Karan (and not Khambatta) to a clich.
It's unforgiving why Kashyap, who's known for his impeccable eye for spotting acting talent, would compromise for mediocre talent, especially when he had signed the talented Kay Kay Menon. Had he swapped their parts, Bombay Velvet' would have soared. Alas, that was not meant to be.
Of the supporting cast, Kay Kay is pitch-perfect as the helpless but earnest cop. Satyadeep Mishra is equally expressive as the Johny's faithful Chinman. Manish Choudhary steps in at second, as the scheming Jimmy Mistry. Vivaan Shah isn't allowed to flex his acting chops, and flits in and out at random.

KK Menon could've been casted in this role , he was brilliant in Haider as prime antagonist.Originally posted by: -Arsal-
Like most predicted he would.ππ
Why would Anurag go for him when he had so many better choices is beyond me.
