Bombay Velvet
Here is a little background of the hero and heroine of the film.
Hero (Ranbir)- A (around) 6 years old boy reaches Bombay in 1949 – 2 years after independence with a female – he is not sure whether the female he accompanied was his mother or not. Nevertheless, the female takes up prostitution and somehow feeds the hero…she of course makes use of him to do small errands like getting rum and soda for her clients and later when he grew up, she made him her pimp too.
Hero befriends the sons of other prostitutes of the locality and basically grew up only seeing poverty, insult and humiliation throughout. His only entertainment was films and he was obviously enamoured by the life style of the rich and the famous as he watched the films. He joins a fight club to earn money, later gets picked up by a rich pimp (played by Karan) who used to be a pimp to his own wife!
Heroine (Anushka) – A small, around 8 years old girl is seen singing carols in a church. A male in his late 30’s sees her sing and asks her mother to let him train her. The mother was some absolutely dumb female who happily gives away her 8 years old daughter to a total stranger. Then begins her physical and sexual abuse – from the age of 8 to around 18 she goes through physical abuse and then one day she musters enough courage to hit the aged music master pig on his head and runs away.
She reaches Bombay – models wearing a skimpy outfit – her sense of shame had died long ago you see, sings in a night club (yeah- from church carols to horny broken voiced tart songs)! Watching such films people do lose faith in God or church…imagine a simple small town 8 years old girl singing songs of the lord….lands up becoming a prostitute rendering abnormal sexual services since the age of 8! How sick is that!
So these two people come together and you can imagine what a life they can have. A life full of humiliation with a gory ending.
So how did they make money and lead a lavish life?
They get hired by a rich pimp who manages to launch prostitution in an elite way to the rich debauch pigs of the society! Prostitution has been the most lucrative business since eons…and such professions go hand in hand with smuggling drugs, gold, weapons and all such sorts of criminal activities.
The police and Government is helpless to curb such things because higher officials themselves hanker after prostitutes! So there is no solution to such cases in our country.
End of story.
