Quintessentially Kaminey......





Feels like after a long time i watched a good movie.....
Vishal Bhardwaj really knows the nerve of his audience. And now that's wat u call passion. Using the most cliched and trite bollywood formula of twins and developing such a pathbreaking plot is undoubtedly work of a great mind. I wish i had such passion for my work....
I am trying really hard to avoid this, but the film-maker in me has already over-powered the blogger in me. I couldn't care any lesser about the nuances & technicalities of the movie-making, coz the movie is poles apart from regular cinema dat i cdnt ignore it..........
Its so obvious yet so subtle, everything seemed in line and unlike other movies it's not getting onto you with loud messages, it is rather presented so subtly that u get confused very often. And for good reasons vishal bhardwaj dsnt seem to carry the hangover of his past laurels like other directors....... I cnt help mentioning movies like ( Delhi6 & Jodha Akbar)
Oops....... I still haven't mentioned the movie I am lauding like a buff....... but i believe u must have guessed it....... after all, all Kamineys think more or less same way......
There are rumors about sccreenplay similarities with an academy award winner, hollywood flick-Pulp Fiction,  More rather than less it's similar to pulp fiction in a manner of its storytelling style, the non-linear storyline, chase of a mysterious object, mafia wars and uber dons.
like his previous acts vishal has co-authored the script.... and one thing unique to his writing style-he trusts his audiences' intelligence to a level that of code breaking cryptographs, he dsnt run after u and beg ur laughs at the sick and pakau jokes......
The irony is well knit throughout the noir, the movie is rife with satires, puns and farce integrated inseparably with the tragedies.
The smooth transitions from death serious scenes and churning out ludicrously laughable situations, Kaminey takes you on a roller coaster ride. Movie is full of kaminapan from the onset where an NGO worker spreading condom and AIDS awareness falls prey of rubber accident himself then sweet marathi sweety convincing him to prepone marriage from 2014 to 2009, bhope bhau, adorable stuttering and lisps, Tashi the don, corrupt police, mikhail....... vishal left no character unkaminized
every single character is a bloody scoundrel.
Tashi's " I dnt like dogs, I like bitches... shoo away shoo away" Sweety's "To kya mene tumhara rape kiya tha"
Guddu & Charlie's face-off, Kid's chocolate and motorbike, the controversial " Apna hath Jagannath " accompanying mallika's poster, nimboos and mirchis the khatarnaak dhan te nan background score and many scenes without background music at all. All this is so innovative yet effusing the quintessential Kaminapan


The movie is simply a marvellous celluloid creation.
I am all set to watch it all over again
cheeerrssssssssss..............
