BOM is much nicer these days. The shopping isnt there yet but I will rate it (especially the new domestic terminal) very high in terms of comfort / ease of use etc.
2:30 is just about enough for a intl - dom transfer at BOM so you'd have to rush a bit. Might take a slightly later flight, there are several a day, and take it easy, freshen up, get some food at BOM

Mumbai is not Hong Kong and HKG will be much easier and nicer, especially if you have a wait since there's much more to do as in shop or eat or just sit around.
