The film was screened at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival as part of the centenary year celebrations of Indian cinema . Despite poor box office returns , '' Bombay Talkies '' met with widespread critical acclaim , with praise directed to Johar 's segment . Tushar Joshi of '' Daily News and Analysis '' said that Mukerji was successful in " proving that she 's the queen of subtlety when it comes to stripping off the make-up and letting herself fly "
