I was giving her benefit of doubt till yesterday but now she is making me angry.....I am not very goo when I am angry.....Who asked her to write a review...is she even a critic?.....Is she allowed to even start a blog....
Or she just thinks that if she is not walking with th e crowd it will make her look intelligent...

Kuch Kam tha Kaminey mein...

So what was missing?? I'm still scratching my head, trying to put my finger on it. I watched what is being hailed as the 'Best Film of 2009' ( come on guys, we are only in August!) on monday at Inox, 5.40 pm show. The hall wasn't even half full. Word of mouth already?? I met a friend in the lobby. She'd seen an earlier show. I could tell from her expression she wasn't exactly ecstatic. She smiled sweetly when I asked, " Liked it?" and said, " Theek, theek.... but I can't understand why it was given 4 stars by the critics." I told her these days every third film gets 4 stars - doesn't mean a thing. Georgia coffee and popcorn in hand, I went and took my seat expectantly. Opening scenes?? So-so. It will get better, I said. It has to. Shahid No.1 comes on looking like ... Shahid No. 2, 3, 4, and 5. The same floppy , coloured hair, the same cute smile. It will get better, I said. The popcorn was 1\3rd over. Priyanka comes on next. She is called Sweety. Oh Oh. Wrong name. Never met a Maharashtrian girl called Sweety. Now there are two Sweeties ( Shahid No.1 and her). Priyanka gets knocked up by the Sweety who forgot to wear a condom. He 's the one who lisps... no stutters... no, lisps. Stutters. Lisps. Stutters. Forget it. Does it really matter? Well, to the dumb cops it does.
It will get better, I said, through gritted teeth. Both the Sweeties are dancing. And someone somewhere is strumming a guitar that's filled with snow... you know... cocaine. The disjointed script trundles along at a lunatic pace.... and goes nowhere. Shahid No. 2 is a baddie. How do we know?? He scowls and wears blinkers as he tries to out race a horse during the Derby. It will get better, I said. My popcorn is running out. So is my patience. Sweety Priyanka's demented brother ( Raj Thackeray, do you love your ridiculous send- up or do you love it??), decides he wants the guitar and all three Sweeties for himself. There is news for him - some Black dudes from Angola want ditto ditto. Mr. Floppy Hair is still stuttering\lisping\sluttering, while the preggie bride is going berserk with a sten gun. By now I'm ready to accept it is not going to get better.
Gawd!!! Could this be the same man who made the brilliant and visually stunning 'Omkara'? Bollywood has FINALLY got to Vishal Bhardwaj. 'Kaminey' ??? Neigh, neigh.

Its Shobha De

She likes to make statements. I wouldn't take her opinion seriously. This is not even a review really. I would also add that if you want to watch something like Omkara get a DVD. A filmmaker doesn't have to rehash his old story just to conform to Shobha De's tastes.

I somewhat agree wid Shobha dey.. the film wasnt exceptional.. but it was way better than the crap bolly has been churning this year.. I bet if this movie would have released wid likes of Jhonny gaddar, a wednesday.. the reviewers wouldnt have gone that ga ga over it.. But this movie has released in the year where we have had films like Kambakht ishq, Lak.. which are either total disasters or strictly average... so that is how Kaminey got its edge. But acc to me Kaminey is a nice movie which should be watched at least ones.. but I definately agree that Omkara was way more entertaining and thrilling then Kaminey.. But certainly Vishal bhardwaj's career graph is going to go up wid this new movie.. because he attempted something different.

I dont understand this woman. She once made a statement that Shahid and Govinda are her favorite actors. LOL

Why can't Shoba de give her opinion? Every person has the right to give their opinion. I am glad atleast she is honest and isn't scared to give her opinions. Be it on Srk, Sonam or Deepika. Just because she praise our favorites, we praise shoba? and if she don't then kill her?? Come on, even we do give our opinions and make the thread to 40 pages, so why can't shoba? And she just wrote one article, not a book. lol
