Bombay Rose

3.5 A visual treat. The animation is gorgeous and seamless. Each frame is a painted canvas. Very original. Can't rave more about it!

Music is very good. The characters are from real life and each has a backstory. Bombay (now Mumbai) is also a character in itself with its sea, its sub-cultures and its festival celebrations. The stories are not of the city's residents, but have been told from the perspective of the migrants who come to the city in search of work.

The ending is not good though, almost caricature-like and abrupt.

The relationship between the main leads Salim and Kamala remained unexpolred and seems more like infatuation at times.

I wanted to see more of the little girl's and that mute child's friendship . It was more adorable than the other stories.
