14 Aug - Kaminey

Have you ever been to a movie since a long time which after just coming out of the theater you wished going back to watch it once again. It’s an audacious, original roller coaster ride. Though it uses the usual Bollywood formula formula of twin brothers and the actress being the sister of the a gangster but the way Vishal Bharadwaj has put them together and sewn it into a complete thriller is amazing. The darkly-lit scenes and gritty humor make it reminescent of the Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie flicks. I wish to add that KAMINEY is not the usual masala film. Sure, it's a well-made film, but there's no spoon feeding here. One has to be attentive, very attentive to grasp the goings-on and also the twists in the tale. I usually loved this scene where the police officer asks Guddu to sing every sentence as he is having trouble mouthing the words due to the stammering. Priyanka Chopra in her small yet lovable character is absolute class. The last geng war scene is really well shot and has real combination and culmination of both violence and romance. My advice to movie-goers is that you sit through the 1st half cause you are in for a treat in the 2nd half. So Kaminey is as Charlie would say a Fuperb movie and maybe a 4.7/5 ought to do the trick
