Kaminey movie review

Kaminey is the best Bollywood film I’ve seen this year. It’s an audacious, original rollercoaster ride. Written and directed by Vishal Bharadwaj, Kaminey requires patience and attention but the pay off is more than worth it.

Kaminey is about Charlie and Guddu, twin brothers played by Shahid Kapoor, both of whom suffer from speech impediments and who can’t stand the sight of each other. Charlie, who pronounces S as F, is a small time gangster. Guddu, who stammers, is a mousy NGO worker. Guddu’s life plans, chalked out until 2014 on a chart stuck in his cupboard, are wrecked when he impregnates Sweety, his fiery girlfriend who until now has neglected to tell him that she is the sister of a powerful gangster-politician, Bhope, played by Amol Gupte. Meanwhile Charlie has come to possess a guitar containing cocaine worth 10 crore. The quintessential gambler thinks he’s finally hit the big score. What follows is a frantic, convoluted journey through Mumbai’s mean streets which are of course populated by many Kamineys: corrupt cops, nasty drug dealers, gun wielding henchmen. Eventually, the brothers’ determinedly separate narratives collide and they are forced to come together.

Be warned: there are stretches of Kaminey that will thoroughly confuse you, starting with the first fifteen minutes. The film has eleven-odd characters that you need to keep track of. Snatches of dialogue are in Bengali and Marathi. If you look away from the screen to send a text message, you might miss another twist in this very, very tangled tale. The first half moves slowly. You might be bewildered and perhaps even bored. But stay with the film. Because the pacing picks up in the second half and Vishal ties up the threads in an exhilarating climax, which, incredibly enough, manages to combine stunning violence with humor.

Kaminey is that rarest of things: an unpredictable Hindi movie. Vishal, referencing the crackling gangster dramas of Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie, keeps it gritty and dark. Violence looms large over Kaminey but the tension is layered with black humor. The film reworks Hindi cinema’s favorite formula - twins - into a bloody theater of the absurd. Charlie and Guddu are unlike any twins you’ve seen before. Each one is willing to sacrifice the other to get what he wants. This is the role or roles of a lifetime and Shahid Kapoor, best known for innocuous chocolate-boy romances, sinks his teeth in. Kaminey does for him what Omkara did for Saif Ali Khan. A star has evolved into an actor.

Sweety is this year’s most exciting heroine after Paro in Dev D, and Priyanka plays her with aplomb. Only her perfectly manicured nails struck me as out of synch with her character. Vishal has equal affection for the smaller players: from the coke-addled Mikhail played nicely by Chandan Roy Sanyal to the Jai Maharashtra-spouting Bhope. Each one is flesh and blood.

Kaminey will take some getting used to. It isn’t the comfort food that Bollywood normally dishes out. But I strongly recommend that you see it. This taste is worth acquiring.
With respected names such as Vishal Bhardwaj, Gulzar, Ronie Screwvala and UTV, it is obvious that the project gets associated with huge expectations and craze even before its release. And if it also has a great energetic track, capable of bringing out all the hidden madness in you (Dhan Tan Nan), then the movie is destined to see long queues of cinema lovers at the box office window.

So all geared up, we got seated excitingly in the theater, expecting a complete new chapter to unfold on the screen. And as the lights went off, we were served with a slow and uninteresting start having the expected dark feeling, which continued till the intermission. Truly speaking, the movie is not so gripping till the mid-point as compared to the previous works of Vishal. Though he succeeds in making a film on the similar lines of Quentin Tarantino & Guy Ritchie, but I found the entertainment factor quite missing in his current venture. Post interval, the movie has a better pace with some fast interconnected sequences featuring every single character in the screenplay. But the routine climax, with everyone killing each other leaves you with mixed feelings about this latest “Vishal Experience”.

The story moves around two brothers who are not at talking terms with each other but get unintentionally involved with different Gangsters. The identity mix up and a big deal of drugs involving the local police is the main plot of the movie. But the movie cannot be judged by its story plot alone, since it heavily relies on it’s out of the routine treatment and first of its kind of direction in Indian Cinema.

No doubt the movie is conceived intelligently and directed differently by Vishal Bhardwaj. But apart from its technical brilliance, the sad part is that the film doesn’t have the HUMOR element at all as promised in its promotional campaign. The main USP of the movie, wherein Shahid speaks “F” instead of “S” in his dialogues, is used in a very subtle manner. Whereas in the promos, this fun gimmick was used very aggressively.

The other major point to be considered is the unimpressive use of the Smash Hit song “Dhan Tan Nan” in the movie. As the song commences on the screen, you don’t feel energetic or lively enough, as you may have felt watching “Sapno Mein Milti Hai” or “Omkara”. The over use of close-ups, strobe lighting and fast camera movements also took away the essence of an otherwise power-packed song.

In the acting department, Shahid Kapoor does well in his double role and stammering. He completely devotes himself to his director’s vision. However, I found the witty humor part missing in his character. Priyanka Chopra tries her best in an underwritten role and manages to shine bright in all her scenes throughout the movie. The surprise act of Amol Gupte is quite pleasant since he delivers a fine controlled performance as The Bhai.

Musically, keeping the cult track “Dhan Tan Nan” aside, I found the soundtrack a bit less scoring then the earlier works of both Vishal Bhardwaj & Gulzar. Camerawork is simply superb, giving the right kind of dark and grim feel to the project. But at times I missed a steady cam vision in the sequences.

In all, after watching it, at one end, you like it for its unique & different approach adopted by the director. But on the other you also feel less entertained as expected from its promotional campaign which projected the movie as a roller coaster ride with great element of fun and humor. So we remain half way at the satisfaction chart with “Kaminey
A story about identical twins, in early twenties, hoping to leave the squalor behind and move into a life of prosperity and dignity. But the similarity ends here. Intercut between the parallel stories of the brothers as they run to protect themselves, their dreams and their love. Until a point where it converges and the brothers meet to realize that they only have each other.


"Kaminey" stars Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. Kapoor stars as twins Guddu and Charlie, identical twins in their early twenties hoping to leave the slums behind and hoping for a better life filled with riches. Growing up in Dharavi, the world's largest slum.

Guddu works as a trainee in a small NGO firm in the city. He hopes to climb up to the top of the corporate ladder, hoping he could become a bona fide member of the burgeoning Indian middle class. His career has only just begun though and the road to bourgeoisie is both long and arduous. Guddu is honest, diligent and careful. One defining characteristic about Guddu is that he stammers, especially when under pressure.

Charlie on the other hand makes a living hedging bets at the race course. Being around rich people at the race course inspires him to want to become a bookie so he can permanently be in this environment, not to mention pocket some easy money. Charlie is street smart, wily and brave--and he is a little rough around the edges, having become accustomed to street life. While Guddu stammers, Charlie has a lisp.

The two brothers do not like each other and feel like they have nothing in common due to their stark differences. They keep their own goals as their primary reasons for existing, caring little for the dilemma of the other brother. Because of their different lifestyles, they’re never around each other, which explains even why as identical twins, their appearances are different.

Intercut between the parallel stories of the brothers as they run to protect themselves is their dreams and their love until a point where it converges and the brothers meet to come upon a life-changing realization. The story of “Kaminey” is how all of these changes and their paths eventually cross. This movie can become the feel good tale of the summer.
