Kaminey is 'bad' enough… so says Gulzar

What's in the name? Ask Vishal Bharadwaj that. The man has got a lot of flak for a name. Not his own, dearies, we're talking about the name of his

new movie, Kaminey.

Apparently, he wanted a very offensive title for his movie, and the name Kaminey occurred to him.

He fell in love with it instantly and wouldn't give up on it. He wanted to do a test run with the name; he asked some of his friends and industrywallahs, it evoked a similar reaction from all of them — OMG! How could that be a name of a movie?

Then Vishal turned to Gulzar saab, for his invaluable advice. After hearing the whole story, Gulzar saab agreed that Kaminey was indeed a fitting title for the movie, and bad enough for a roughshod script. Now if a veteran has vetted it, who dare complain? Wonder if goody boy Shahid Kapoor had a say in this, too. Or was he too busy thinking of new names to replace 'Piggy Chops' for his Priyanka?

Gulzar wouldn't say anything bad about Vishal. They have a special working relationship. He is pretty forward thinking. He wrote the lyrics for Beedi after all. These film tabloid journalists have a very misleading writing style to say the least.
