#kaipoche introduced a new talent - Sushant Singh Rajput.His body language and ability of under playing the role, added different intensity.
Each friend represents a world in us. That world is #KaiPoChe - Go watch this piece of intelligent cinema that's rare to find in our B-town
Raj Kumar Yadav (L), Sushant Singh Rajput (C) and Amit Sadh (R), lead cast of Indian film 'Kai Po Che' play a cricket match during their promotional tour in Dubai.
After feeding us on a heavy diet of romance, Bollywood
filmmakers are now undoing our appetite for the mushy stuff, and veering
us towards bromances. It did work, in the past, what with 'Dil Chahta
Hai', 'Rang De Basanti', '3 Idiots', 'Dostana' and 'Rock On!!!' all
turning into blockbusters.
So, by that rule, one-movie-old director Abhishek Kapoor's tale about
brotherhood isn't unusually novel, considering his first 'Rock On!!!'
explored the same dynamics. Yet, there's something uniquely endearing
and extremely poignant about 'Kai Po Che'.
And, like others in this inimitable genre, this too shall win
innumerable accolades. Whether it's the captivating performances, the
ambitious narrative, or poetic cinematography, 'Kai Po Che' is superior
in texture and commendably subtle.
It also packs in all the ingredients of a sure-shot Bollywood success,
without overplaying any one element. There's cricket, religion,
politics, comedy, music, bromance and even a dash of romance.
Abhishek's adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's part-fictional, part-historical
book titled 'The 3 Mistakes of My Life' is imposing no doubt, but, it's
his ingenious trait to alter the end, without sacrificing its spirit,
that deserves immense applause.
'Kai Po Che' delves into the life of three childhood friends as they
chase their dreams in their rustic hometown of Ahmadabad at the
beginning of the new millennium, only to find their ambitions derailed
by terrifying earthquakes, religious intolerance and political
manipulations. It plays devilish mayhem with their desires and rocks
their incredibly intense bond.
Despite their varying desires ' Ishaan's a failed cricket genius, Omi's
a disciplined son of a priest, and Govind's a calculated businessman '
the three are inseparable, and remain united in their pursuit of a
sporting dream in the early 2000.
A depleting bank account, notwithstanding, the three are determined to
stick it out and make it big with their sporting academy. They find an
unlikely sponsor in Omi's politically-driven uncle, who is more keen on
promoting his nephew within his party circles than in encouraging his
pals' cricketing aspirations.
The boys continue to chase their dreams with gusto, with Ishaan taking
the hugely-gifted Muslim boy Ali under his wing and diligently coaching
him to make it in the big league.
Their plans, however, come crashing down following the earthquake on
January 26, 2001, exposing cracks in their friendship over brewing
religious indifferences.
After a short separation, they reunite over cricket and slowly rebuild their camaraderie. But, the happiness is momentary.
They end up getting dragged into the 2002 communal violence that
erupted in Gujarat after 58 Hindu pilgrims aboard a train were torched.
What follows is the ghastly massacre of thousands of innocents.
Abhishek recreates the bloodied riots in menacing frames, and zooms in
on how a community gets cornered by the terrifying mob. Without taking
sides or being moralistic, he merely captures the gruesome slaughter
that destroyed the soul of a city.
Abhishek and Chetan join writers Pubali Chaudhuri and Suapratik Sen to create a screenplay that's both engaging and impactful.
The edit, at 135 minutes screen-time, by Deepa Bhatia is snappy, and
doesn't appear sluggish despite the inclusion of three sound tracks by
Amit Trivedi. If anything, it's the insipid love trail between Govind
and Omi's sister Vidhya that's tiresome.
Anay Goswamy captures the essence vividly, taking us a journey that's truly life-altering.
The multiple incidents do crowd the screenplay, disallowing the
writers to uncover any one in detail. That's a shame considering there's
just so much to be reported.
Even though this isn't a one-hero movie, Sushant Singh Rajput outshines
his reel buddies with his mesmerizing act in his Bollywood debut. He has
got oodles of charm and is a natural.
From portraying the feisty Ishaan's upheavals, to battling his inner
conflicts at being unable to succeed, to wanting to set things right for
Ali, Sushant paints Ishaan in vibrant shades.
Sushant's brilliance, however, doesn't take away the credit from
debutant Amit Sadh and Raj Kumar Yadav, who are equally impressive.
Amit's raw take on the pious Omi, who is torn between his friends and
family, is enacted with matured restraint.
Even Raj Kumar, who has a few notable movie performances up his sleeve,
plays out Govind with striking lan. It's his awkward romantic sojourns
that are the most delightful.
Of the supporting cast, it's the meek, cricketing prodigy Ali and the
aggressive politico uncle of Omi who are notable. If there's a weak
link, it's Amrita Puri, who is unable to captivate us as the
sms-obsessed, love-struck Vidhya.
Considering, Chetan's 'Five Point Someone' was a roaring success in
Bollywood as '3 Idiots', it's only natural 'Kai Po Che' awaits a
similar, befitting honour.
Although there have been many movies that celebrated friendship on-screen, it'd be a big mistake if you skipped this one.
