Vishal Bharadwaj is slowly turning into an angel with a Midas touch! Anything and everything he touches, turns into Gold! The supremely talented Director/Producer/Music Composer/Singer etc is out with another gem: Kaminey! The movie belongs to him – totally!
Shahid Kapoor delivers a knock-out performance after Kareena stole the limelight right from under his nose, in Jab We Met! The cute looking actor is finally getting accolades for his fuperb portrayal of the twin brothers… and he deserves it. Piggy Chopps is fabulous in the small but meaty role. In a movie that is all about Shahid, she managed to make her presence felt!
Now, for the story line… There is nothing extra-ordinary about the story. Twin bothers – one angel, the other devil… separated in childhood… grow up to hate each other, until the circumstances make their paths meet, and they discover the long lost love for each other! The movie also touches upon the grave issue of the new-found hatred of a section of Marathis towards non-marathis (specially UP wallahs) living in Mumbai, Pune and other cities of Maharashtra.
Kaminey is indeed trying to tell an ordinary story but in an exceptionally stylish way! This where the excellence of Vishal as a screenplay writer and a director come into the forte! Telling the age old story in a novel way is by no means an easy task and Vishal excells in it. Furthermore, what acts as an icing on the cake is the carefully chosen starcast. Every character of the movie is so well etched out and so well enacted, it would not be wrong to say that it is difficult to imagine a set of actors who would have done a better job. Kudos to all!
Last but not the least, the music score of the movie (again by Vishal Bharadwaj) is excellent. The album has songs to match all the moods and moves with the movie so well that it is difficult to imagine one without the other! The review will be incomplete without the mention of some songs which have caught the fancy of one and all: Dhan te nan tena tena and not to forget Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai.
If you havent caught the movie so far, rush!! You will not be disappointed! 🙂
ahh nice to see u blogging again. I am yet to catch this one.
Thanks dear! This is one movie jise dekhna banta hai!
Yesterday I watched it for the 2nd time and loved it more 🙂
Wowwwwwwwwww!! U watched it the second time???? Lucky u :))))
Nice to see you back after a long time. 🙂
Yes, Kaminey was good, inspired hugely by Tarantino’s earlier movies such as Reservoir dogs and pulp fiction, but nevertheless Kaminey had it’s own individuality.
Although I think that director’s earlier one, Omkara, was even better film than kaminey.
Thanks Dev 🙂 Its nice to be back 🙂
Oh! I havent watched Tarantino’s movies u have mentioned here… And yes, Omkara was definitely muchhhhhhhhh better!! 🙂
And Gulzarsaab has given excellent poertry here ..
For example:
“Zindgi kya kare, Hum jo usko mile;
Uska ji khaa gayen, raat-din ke gilein.
And Gulzarsaab has given excellent poertry here ..
For example:
“Zindgi kya kare, Hum jo usko mile;
Uska ji khaa gayen, raat-din ke gilein.
Mere khwab kaminey, meri aarzoo kamini. ”
(How true !! .. In today’s Ratrace, we certainly have the spoilt the definition of life(zindagi))
or in one of the stanza, gulzarsaab says : “Gilheri ke joothe mutter khayathe hamne” .. How can you just thnk of that .. he is truly a master ..
Sach me.. Gulzaar saab ka koi comparison hi nahi hai..
Finally you are back!! 🙂 🙂 Havent seen this movie and its likely that i will have to give it a miss. No time!! 😦
hehehehehe yes m back 🙂
ohhhh put it in ur to-do list… and make sure u catch it when u get some time 🙂
Hey Nova ! Thats exactly what I thot – that Kareena stole the limelight from Shahid in JWM !!! The movie is gud, eh ??? Even I want to watch it for Shahid, let me see !!!
And, I also like that song – Pehli baar mohabaat…
Yapp!! The movie is definitely worth a watch! 🙂
The song is sooooo beautiful – I like both the versions in fact, the one rendered in male voice and the one in female voice as well 🙂 Rekha bharadwaj definitely has the “namak” in her voice 😉 🙂
Ahh we went for this movie saturday…aryan was asking me incessantly when will that Mama die…I told the name ttan ta da….not kaminey
Aryan’s Mom
Hehehhehehe 🙂 You make him call every one mama kya? 😀 And good u changed the name… film makers these days dont think twice before naming their movies :O They forget that kids are going to be watching them too!!!! :O
And please pull his cheeks for me and say “Foooo fweet” 🙂 🙂 🙂
Lol I also liked the fatak song and also loved the wedding sequence..I agree movie belongs to Vishal solely 🙂
Shahid is fuberb 🙂
Yeahhh!!! Shahid and Vishal both are fuperb :DDDDD
Ah! So got u 🙂 Was wondering when I saw a comment from Nova! Then tracing back got ur blog! Sooo glad to find u here.
btw.. Watched Kaminey first day itself but was disappointed because I had very high expectation. It was being compared with Reservoir Dogs Movie and that was quite an ultimate movie! Kaminey was a good movie but not the best of its genre!
Heyyyyy agreed… expectations have a lottttttt to do with the outcome… I had gone with 0 expectations, so ended up enjoying a lotttt more than I wud have otherwise 🙂
Aryan like ..Pehli Bar Mohabaath and Taan ta da …song form this movie and that ws the main reason we had to take him….
I chooses to call Mama or “That Man”…I thought Mama was better….:-)
Uff your first line of this post was too TOO good! And so damn true.
Totally loved this movie!
First time here. 🙂
heheeh thanks for visiting my blog 🙂

Areeee tension wension hat jaye uske baad jake zarur dekhna 🙂
I Trully Trulllly am lost.
Yes, the movie was stylish, had a different approach to showing stuff, visually appealing, etc.
Yet, I thought it was an OK movie. Didn’t understand why it was called “a giant leap” for Bollywood.
Am still lost 🙂
