Viacom 18's 'Bombay Talkies' is a sincere realistic tribute to the magic of cinema, that also serves as cogent current commentary on how cinema continues to inspire, motivate, influence our life's and how our life's inspires, motivates, influences the cinema which in its hundred years has not turned old but grown up without leaving its magical impact on its lovers notwithstanding the age, sex, class or creed. Sheer magic.
