It has been a while since I last wrote a post. A jobless final semester is making sure the lazy bone in me is spoilt for choice of boundless avenues to waste away. However, I happened to chance upon this movie last weekend and there was no way I could stay without writing a review for it even though it has been a couple of weeks since its release.
Every nightspot and lounge bar in town is playing it. A night at the pub is not complete without it. And every morning MTV and Channel[V] play it back to back close to a dozen times like Suprabatham. Dhan Te nan.........This groovy and super energy packed track from Kaminey more than captures the mood and spirit of the entire movie. If Omkara & Maqbool showed signs of a genius, Kaminey makes it straight and blunt to everybody in Bollywood that Vishal Bharadwaj will never make a Hindi movie like the world knows it.
All those who plan to watch this movie in the multiplex while half dozing off in the AC, be warned! Kaminey, with its dark look and racy direction is an intelligent movie which demands the audience to respect it and pay attention. Not that it needs anything extra to do that. The crisp narration & the sinful tracks make sure one is hooked to the screen.
The movie starts with Charlie (Shahid kapur) preaching the ultimate gyaan on the routes to success or as he would put it, fuckcess in life (No pun intended). Cut to another shot and we meet Charlie's estranged identical twin Guddu (Obvious) who preaches about the god sent "Kaandum" through a rather funny but witty street play. And then we have the Marathi hot belle and Guddu's lady love Sweety (Priyanka Chopra) who looks so "muaaah" that I have no words for her. Marathi sounded like the language of the gods when this one gave her lines in it.
Anyways, what ensues is how the good brother and bad brother meet thanks to a guitar, a badmouthing marathi politico brother-in-law and a couple of corrupt cops having a really bad day and how the two Shahids set their differences aside to help each other out when all odds turn against them. What really sets the movie apart is the treatment given to the otherwise mediocre storyline and the brilliant acting from every single member in the cast. Giving the story away would be a spoiler. So, it is best to stop here and not write anything more. However, the only thing one must be warned is the great deal of restrain required to stick to the seat and not jump up dancing to "Raat Ke Dhai Baje". Besides that, the very enjoyable songs and good cinema that kaminey is, will do their job just fine.

good choice of language...keep it up
Dhan Te Naan........
I found the story to be quite lacking in depth..
but then I guess if im looking for depth, a bollywood movie is not what i should watch :-/
Decent entertainer though.
dude thrs nothing intrsting in the movie except for the dhan te nan song, the story is cliched and priyanka chopra is more of a side actress rather than the lead role cos she is shown very little in the movie. its just an average movie nothing gr8
@revanth-personal opinions buddy personal opinions...
I donno abt others, but this was a gr8 movie... and an awesome review.
thanx bave
