Review: 'Kaminey' bowls you over with its power packed performance!
Spicezee Bureau

Though a lot has been written about Shahid's jinxed personal and professional life, however, with 'Kaminey', the chocolate boy actor finally comes of age and silences his critics once for all! Post 'Omkara', director Vishal Bhardwaj has once again delivered a powerful flick that completely bowls you over with its splendid script, riveting narrative and stellar performances by lead pair- Shahid and Priyanka. Both the actors have a cracking on-screen chemistry that certainly reminds you of yesteryears on-screen couples.

'Kaminey' is a powerful film based on the single day in the life of twin brothers who share a strange love and hate relationship. Vishal Bhardwaj has done a commendable job by giving a dark and gloomy treatment to the movie. One thing is for sure that 'Kaminey' is an engrossing flick that does not let you move from your seat!

'Kaminey' is not a typical cheesy Bollywood movie but a fantastic affair that offers a rare tribute to the likes of Coen Brothers, Guy Ritchie and Taratino. 'Kaminey' is the story about Guddu and Charlie (both played by Shahid Kapur). If the former is a stammering peaceful common man, Charlie is just the opposite ' a hotheaded lisping stud who believes in overnight riches.

However, 'Kaminey' comes with a twist, Guddu has to marry a Marathi politician's (Amol Gupte) sister Sweety (Priyanka Chopra) and Charlie must hunt for buyers for cocaine which he steals from the corrupt cops. Yet, the story does not end here, as Guddu has to face the wrath of Marathi politician who cannot see his sister marrying a non-Maharashtrian and Charlie battles with cops as well as with a bunch of drug dealers headed by Tashi (Tenzing Nima). The drama heightens when both the brothers get swapped and end up with wrong persons! Now, the only way out for twin brothers is to finally meet. Will Charlie mend his ways and give up his 'get rich' dreams? Will Guddu unite with the love of his life? Will both the brothers unite? Well, you need to wait and watch this great flick.

Apart from acting, 'Kaminey' is a musical treat that comes with Vishal Bhardwaj's brilliant background score and Tassaduq Hussain's splendid cinematography that evokes the dark underbelly regions of Mumbai.

Whether it is Shahid as Guddu and Charlie or Priyanka Chopra as Sweety, both the actors have delivered a commendable performance. Apart from the lead pair, 'Kaminey' is the debut vehicle for Amole Gupte and Chandan Roy and both the actors prove their mettle by delivering power packed performances.

Folks, if you are planning to watch a movie this weekend, 'Kaminey' is worth a dekko!

Ratings: Four cheers to this one! (🥳)

Kaminey Movie Review - 2nd Review

August 14th, 2009

Movie Review: Kaminey; Star Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Amole Gupte, Shiv Subramaniam, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Tenzing Nima, Hrishikesh Joshi and Deb Mukherjee; Director: Vishal Bharadwaj; Rating: **** - Is a modern day masterpiece.

Since its promos were out with Delhi-6, Vishal Bharadwaj's Kaminey immediately caught the attention of the cine goers with its highly infectious Dhan Te Nan number and the crazy character introductions. The curiosity and hype began building up rapidly and the wait seemed unending. So till the time I stepped in the trial show of Kaminey my expectations were sky high. Thankfully, Vishal has delivered what he has promised.

The film narrates the tale of twins Charlie (Shahid) and Guddu (Shahid again) who are poles apart in behaviour and lifestyle. While Guddu the good boy works for a NGO and aims to rise the corporate ladder, Charlie believes in taking shortcuts and 'chota shortcuts' to achieve his get rich quick dream. Though they haven't met each other in years, their lives get entangled as both get ended up in major screw up in their personal lives. What happens then on and how many misunderstanding lead to further chaos forms the rest of the plot.

Hereon, revealing anything more about Kaminey would be spoiling a major part of your fun. There are plenty of sequences which will remain forever etched in your cinematic memory right from Guddu and Charlie's face off to almost every scene featuring Bhope Bhau (Gupte) and Tashi (Tenzing) to the Dhan Te Nan song and the crazy finale. However, the climax appears to long with the endless shooting going on and on between the multiple gangs. And the songs don't really appear well placed. But these are minor flaws.

Shahid Kapoor delivers a knock out performance in a double role. Most importantly he succeeds in making us believe his two characters are completely different persons. With his dual act he has emerged as the strongest contender of the Best Actor trophy for 2009. Priyanka Chopra outshines all her previous best performances. Her Marathi dialogue delivery is excellent as she has also managed to catch the small nuances perfectly. Playing Charlie's idol, Mikhail, Chandan Roy Sanyal's doped out act is instantly likeable. Marathi stage and cinema actor Hrishikesh Joshi as corrupt cop Lele is good and so is Shiv Subramaniam playing his associate. Back after a long hiatus veteran actor Deb Mukherjee is menacing. Tenzing Nima as Nepali don, Tashi is a hoot. Amongst the crowd of the huge ensemble cast, Amole Gupte manages to create a huge impression with his chilled out Bhau act. His one-liners will have you rolling on the floor laughing.

Kaminey is also an excellent team effort with superb camerawork by Tassaduq Hussein, razor sharp editing by Meghna Manchanda Sen and gritty action by Shyam Kaushal. Vishal Bharadwaj has managed to strike a sixer donning multiple hats as a director, producer, singer, music director, screenplay and dialogue writer. His treatment of Kaminey may be on the lines of Quentin Tarantino and Guy Richie's caper movies but the stamp of a Vishal Bharadwaj movie seen all over in Omkara is yet again on full display here.

Kaminey is a must watch at any cost. It redefines the rules of Hindi filmmaking and most importantly delivers what it promises. Chances are it may well turn out to be your favourite caper movie ever and wanna watch it again and again.

Bharadwaj, Shahid redefine filmmaking with 'Kaminey' ...

Posted on: 2009-08-14 07:17:56

In "Kaminey", Shahid Kapoor has dared to pick a subject which would have looked impossible to execute when read on paper. With his outstanding performance in the film, Shahid joins the list of top actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

And yes, Shahid and Priyanka have a crackling on-screen chemsitry. After "Kaminey", audiences would be expecting a lot from him each time.

Director Vishal Bharadwaj has redefined filmmaking with "Kaminey". While making the film there was absolutely no reference point for Bharadwaj at least in Bollywood cinema. He picked from from Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino brands of cinema and adapted it perfectly to a Bollywood milieu.

Bharadwaj takes his audience into a world that has perhaps never been explored before on Indian screen. He keeps introducing characters for the first 30 minutes while making sure that the twin brothers (Shahid) aren't brought together in a single frame till way past the interval.

He also confuses his audience on purpose in at least a couple of sequences and tests their intelligence. There's the scene where two groups of three characters each are shown interacting amongst themselves and eventually it turns out that all of them were in the same room. Or the entire hotel sequence where a drug deal goes kaput. And then, of course, the eventiual coming together of all the 10 odd characters who are connected to one another.

Set in Mumbai, the film is mostly shot on real locations. The director's insistence on canning shots outdoors pays off as the backdrop becomes difficult to disentangle from the elements of this thriller.

So what one gets to see is a day in the life of two brothers who are on the run for different reasons. Guddu (Shahid) has seen a sudden marriage with Sweety, played by Priyanka Chopra who is excellent in her relatively short but meaningful and important role. He is now being followed by Sweety's brother (Amol Gupte).

Charlie (Shahid) has got hold of drugs worth Rs.10 crore and is now all set to sell them off to fulfil his long cherished dreams.

And in between, there are cops, gangsters, international drug mafia, narcotics department, a 'Jai Maharashtra' slogan-raising brother, an over-'coked' friend and his two mad Bengali brothers -- all of whom make sure that "Kaminey" turns out to be one joyride that keeps the excitement on till the credits start rolling.

The film starts off decently though one has to concentrate hard to get the point of the narrative. All of that starts making sense after 30 odd minutes, but you still feel that there could have been a little more meat to the proceedings.

However, the post interval portions make 'Kaminey' simply irresistible. Layer after layer unfolds, dark as well as humane side of people are put on display and finally comes an explosive climax that pretty much justifies the route that Bharadwaj takes in "Kaminey".

After watching the film, the first question that comes to the mind is - 'Why was the film granted an 'A' certificate?'

"Kaminey" is one of the few must watch films of 2009. From narrative to execution -- Bharadwaj shows that he knows the art of creating a new world of cinema and lays out a road ahead for many aspiring filmmakers.
