Scenes Hot - Bombay Velvet Deleted This sequence is the holy grail for "scene hunting." It represents the collision of watching entertainment and being entertainment. In the age of Netflix and chill, the idea of a high-stakes drama playing out inside a single-screen theater is romanticized to death. Fans who have seen the leaked storyboard often recreate this "theater noir" look in short films, using the contrast of the silver screen light against a flannel suit. The Aftermath: Why We Crave What We Can't See The failure of Bombay Velvet and the subsequent mythology of its deleted scenes tell us something profound about modern entertainment consumption. We live in an era of abundance. We have access to everything. But restriction creates desire. This subplot directly commented on the friction between state-controlled entertainment and consumer desire. In the deleted scenes, Kashyap draws a line from 1960s censorship to 2015’s moral policing of films like Udta Punjab (which he also produced). bombay velvet deleted scenes hot The loss of these scenes stripped the film of its meta-commentary. Modern OTT platforms, flush with period dramas like The Rocket Girls or Jubilee , owe a debt to the visual language Kashyap created here—specifically the use of natural light in cramped radio studios. But because Bombay Velvet failed, no one acknowledges that the "scrappy entertainment rebel" trope was born in these lost reels. The climax of Bombay Velvet as released was a generic shootout. But the deleted scene archive contains a storyboard for a sequence set at the now-defunct Eros Cinema balcony. This sequence is the holy grail for "scene hunting In the annals of Bollywood history, few films have a backstory as fascinating as the film itself. Anurag Kashyap’s 2015 magnum opus, Bombay Velvet , was supposed to be the game-changer. Backed by a massive budget (estimated ₹120 crore), a stellar cast including Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, and a cameo by Karan Johar, it was designed to be the quintessential period drama—a noir love letter to the flawed, jazzy, and morally ambiguous Bombay of the 1960s. The Aftermath: Why We Crave What We Can't Here is a deep dive into the deleted scenes of Bombay Velvet , and how the lifestyle they depicted is now more relevant than the film itself. To understand the deleted scenes, one must understand the surgery. Anurag Kashyap has admitted in interviews that the theatrical cut was a compromise. The original director’s cut reportedly ran close to four hours. To squeeze it into a standard 149-minute runtime, the studio excised entire character arcs and, crucially, the breathing space of the film. Anurag Kashyap once said, "Bombay Velvet was a film about dreamers. And the studio cut killed the dream."
This is awesome! Appreciate your efforts ~ this guide motivates me to actually put some time and do some questing.
Hi, thanks for your guide! I just did these 3 quests. Only the third gives me xp, total of 500k (with the multiplier). So you have to finish all and give 30 worms to the timer egg before getting any xp. Didn't receive fame.
I actually never completed the last part because I didn't care about fame, so I went back and completed it just now and it looks like you're correct. It's weird though, because when you talk to the NPC it says the reward is 11 fame, but then you just get 500k exp. I guess the quest might be bugged, so I'll submit a bug report and update the guide to reflect this. Thanks for finding this! Here's proof of the quest reward according to the NPC and what you actually receive.
This thread is seriously underrated! Thank you for putting it together! I want to add a few quests to that list from lv 35-50 range: Rowen and the Cursed Doll (Requires Mr. Wetbottom's playboy book preq, tedious but a lot of EXP!) https://bbb.hidden-street.net/quest/victoria-island/rowen-the-fairy-and-the-cursed-dolls The Antidote (Rowen Quest 2.0 also decent EXP!) https://bbb.hidden-street.net/quest/ludus-lake/the-antidote The Revolutionary Plan for Constructing a Wall (Time-limited <30 minutes) https://bbb.hidden-street.net/quest...tionary-plan-for-constructing-defensive-walls
Shumi's coin quest at lv 20 gives 6000 base (before royals 3.2x exp), instead of 1600 EXP. *Note, pic is taken during 30% exp event Welcome to new leaf city is now lv 20 quest
Thanks for finding this! I just tested the New Leaf City Quiz, and while it says Over Level 20, I was able to accept it on a level 17 character. As for Shumi's Coin, I'll update that right now.
Do you know when it was nerfed? Because that quest is from the original quests worth doing guide which was written in 2017.
Sure lemme dig it up, it was late 2020. I'll edit it to this post when I find it. EDIT: Hmm I couldn't find it in late 2020, memory served me wrong. Though I do remember even asking Gert why is was nerfed :S (maybe it was Gert telling me the level is 20 to get the quest). I could only find the nerf from late 2017 during new source, but can't find if it was changed again. https://royals.ms/forum/threads/new-source-update-48-24-12-2017.111769/#post-623070
Interesting... I guess for now I'm just going to leave it as level requirement: 15 because for all intents and purposes, you can get it by then. If it ever gets fixed, then I can update the guide.
minor nitpick, but is it possible to update the list with the region the quest is in? e.g. DANGER! <1-G. Mushroom> (Sleepywood)
Avoiding talk to "A Familiar Lady" after you killed Nine-Tailed Fox, else you will be rewarding 10 fame instead of 15 fame... not to mention she will steal away your old fox's tail as well... and will need to redo the quest... btw, Nice guide for newbie =D have fun guys
10/10 guide! Just a side note: In order to activate Muirhat(myboi!) quest line , you have to click on the Rubbish Bin near to Muirhat and complete some prequest so only you could start the stone golem and other Muirhat’s quest!
Fyi, pretty sure I've completed the entire magatia questline up to For Phyllia/For Zemunist/For Alcadno. It works and is one of the best questlines in the game!
