COLORS don’t come any juicier than those that saturate ”Bombay Dreams,” the $14 million musical about movie love Bollywood-style, which opened last night at the Broadway Theater. Scarcely a scene goes by that isn’t splashed with gorgeous heaping helpings of oranges, golds, greens, purples, yellows and more shades of pink than even Estée Lauder had names for.
