song raat ke dhai bajy

In this cat and mouse game, the baddies get mixed up between the twins. Who's Guddu and who's Charlie? Amid the shootouts and mayhem that follows, the two brothers rediscover love for each other.

'Kaminey' is not a path-breaking film. Nor is it too cerebral or thought-provoking. It is a heady cocktail of art-house realism and Bollywood masala with a distinct Tarantino tang. It is pure entertainment like never presented before in Bollywood.

Kaminey

Charlie, who lisps (pronounces 'sa' as 'fa'), is looking for a 'fortcut' to make big 'paifa' and become a bookie, while Guddu, who stammers, h..h..has a clear life plan charted out before him. He works for an NGO spreading AIDS awareness but - in a delightful irony - ends up impregnating his girlfriend Sweety (Priyanka Chopra) on a romantic night when that little piece of rubber went missing. And now, as he tears down the chart of his life-plan, Guddu has no choice but to unwillingly marry Sweety, not so much out of love for her or the child, but out of fear of her politician brother Bhope Bhau (Amol Gupte), a thickset, full-blooded Marathi manoos who wants to marry off his sister to an influential builder for political mileage.

Pehli Baar Mohabbat

Fasten your seat belts folks, and cast that cola aside. You are about to land into the dirty damp world of 'Kaminey', populated by bookies, trigger-happy drug mafia, corrupt cops and power-hungry goons with political ambition. In the melee of these kaminey characters unspools the story of Guddu and Charlie (Shahid Kapur), two estranged brothers who have nothing in common, not even their speech defects.

The post-interval song

The post-interval portions suffer largely because the screenplay now becomes very predictable and run-of-the-mill. There’s a mujra, then a dream song [an English track] comes up, then the usual chase ensues, with the hero defeating all his opponents one by one, then the prince surfaces on the scene suddenly and then the climax, when the lovers go separate ways. But that’s not the end. The two women, who love Kisna dearly, meet again during the sunset of their lives and talk of Kisna’s love for Catherine.

Kisna Movie Review

When an accomplished film-maker comes up with his new product, you await it with bated breath. And if the track record happens to be as enviable as that of Subhash Ghai, the expectations soar skywards.
