Kaminey - Movie Review

Cast :: Amol Gupte, Priyanka Chopra, Shahid Kapoor, Vishal Bhardwaj.

The film does not take time out for introducing the characters one by one , they get introduced by themselves. By the time titles would begin you would get engaged in the film and the people who generally make noise during the beginning of the film in the cinema hall would get silent by the end of it.

Kaminey begins on a comic and exciting note . The comic side belonging to Guddu (Shahid) and the exciting side belonging to Charlie. Priyanka aka Sweety , the marathi mulgi , does her job well in the begining itself and director Vishal manages to give film an almost ideal start (have to say almost wonderful because there is no such thing as wonderful ) . The lisping and stuttering would make you laugh at the characters but still establish that connect with them . One by one all the characters come into play and start getting connected with one another through a Guitar and a Girl . The girl being Priyanka Chopra.

Making life what it is(Kamini) around Guddu , Sweety and Charlie are characters like Bhope Bhau , Tashi , Mikhail , Lobo and Lele. All of them unique and all knotted in a complex world of chrime, money and power. The cultural diversity in the film is one thing to watch where Mikhail and his brothers are Bengali , Tashi and Lobo are Christians , Guddu who is actually Sanjay Sharma is a Hindu and Bhope Bhau and Sweety being Marathi.There are also some foreigners in the film .Bhope Bhau who is a true Marathi Manus and against all north indians has been briliantly played by Amol Gupte . He has done full justice to the character and has played the part of an aspiring politician who uses this “Marathi Manus Ideology” for getting a ticket to contest in the elections. Character of Anmol Gupte has maximum weightage than other characters in movie. The film is made up of these so many different Characters and it completely belongs to them. All characters have same importance and everyone of them has a mean(kamini) side. The director has even gone ahead and shown the mean side of a small Kid who also plays a very small and comic part in the film. Every character has been perfectly presented and it is these characters that make the film so strong.


Kaminey for its maximum length belongs to Shahid and it won’t be wrong to say that it is completely his film. It is his best and most mature performance till date and his hard work comes across on the screen. He has worked really hard for both of the characters and has put up a magnificent performance. The two characters being completely different , Shahid has got a rare opportunity to express all different shades of a personality on-screen. His is the toughest part and to act that well shows his progress as an actor. He has already become the new superstar and now his acting skills would also get appreciated which would further increase his stardom for sure. Pankaj sir will be so proud of him after watching the film. Vishal has given him sufficient space to perform and he has delivered according to his expectations. Though Priyanka’s part in the film was small but surely a very important one and one that required great efforts from her too. She also has worked hard and given her best. She is just fabulous in the film and her chemistry with Shahid is something to watch out for. She plays this part of a crazy marathi girl naturally and would certainly make you smile. She is lovable and for that matter both Shahid-Priyanka as a couple are also lovable and look cute. They both are stars and of the type who can also act. Chandan Roy is also good as Mikhail.


The comic caper variety that Vishal has attempted in the film has worked like wonders. It is officially now first of its kind. The story is different to an extent but what is best is the handling that Vishal has given to the story. The screenplay is great and there are several memorable sequences in the film. The climax of the film is what you call ‘climax’ exactly and it is this part which decides the fate of the film. It is this part that will please the bulk of the spectators and would make it a sure shot hit.

The cinematography by Tassaduq Hussain is top notch . Several locations of mumbai have been shown in a never before manner and the sequences with Rains have also been shot perfectly. The steady-cam shots which are on the move have also been done in a beautiful manner and are technically sound . The music of the film is no doubt great and it also adds a lot to the film. The dialogues of the film are just great and have been written very well. The actors have very well delivered them too in the way they should have been.

Vishal Bhardwaj has done absolutely fabulous job. This one is a completely different film from Omkara and he has again done a great job.
