Wow, what a journey. Bought the soundtrack on a whim at the record store last week. LOVED the songs. Looked up the film on Kanopy. The transfer on that platform looks great. However, an hour and a half into the film. The English captioning offsets for about thirty minutes. Makes it UNWATCHABLE. I looked up the version on Tubi, it does the SAME thing . Ended up watching a dirty and cropped version on YouTube for the last hour and fifteen minutes. After three days and three different video services, was it worth trying all 180 minutes of Bobby? Other than it’s climatic ending, dance sequences and some of the performances (the actor who plays Bobby’s dad is the shit), I was really bored between each action sequence and musical numbers. It has a lot of filler, and it weighs down the pacing really bad.
Did I like it though? It’s fun. I can totally see young teens enjoying this in 70’s India, but it’s not breaking any ground. Its climatic ending is worth note though. You’re a monster if you’re not cheering for our heroes at the end.
