Kaminey Movie Review – 2nd Review
Movie Review: Kaminey; Star Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Amole Gupte, Shiv Subramaniam, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Tenzing Nima, Hrishikesh Joshi and Deb Mukherjee; Director: Vishal Bharadwaj; Rating: **** – Is a modern day masterpiece.
Since its promos were out with Delhi-6, Vishal Bharadwaj’s Kaminey immediately caught the attention of the cine goers with its highly infectious Dhan Te Nan number and the crazy character introductions. The curiosity and hype began building up rapidly and the wait seemed unending. So till the time I stepped in the trial show of Kaminey my expectations were sky high. Thankfully, Vishal has delivered what he has promised.
The film narrates the tale of twins Charlie (Shahid) and Guddu (Shahid again) who are poles apart in behaviour and lifestyle. While Guddu the good boy works for a NGO and aims to rise the corporate ladder, Charlie believes in taking shortcuts and ‘chota shortcuts’ to achieve his get rich quick dream. Though they haven’t met each other in years, their lives get entangled as both get ended up in major screw up in their personal lives. What happens then on and how many misunderstanding lead to further chaos forms the rest of the plot.
Hereon, revealing anything more about Kaminey would be spoiling a major part of your fun. There are plenty of sequences which will remain forever etched in your cinematic memory right from Guddu and Charlie’s face off to almost every scene featuring Bhope Bhau (Gupte) and Tashi (Tenzing) to the Dhan Te Nan song and the crazy finale. However, the climax appears to long with the endless shooting going on and on between the multiple gangs. And the songs don’t really appear well placed. But these are minor flaws.
Shahid Kapoor delivers a knock out performance in a double role. Most importantly he succeeds in making us believe his two characters are completely different persons. With his dual act he has emerged as the strongest contender of the Best Actor trophy for 2009. Priyanka Chopra outshines all her previous best performances. Her Marathi dialogue delivery is excellent as she has also managed to catch the small nuances perfectly. Playing Charlie’s idol, Mikhail, Chandan Roy Sanyal’s doped out act is instantly likeable. Marathi stage and cinema actor Hrishikesh Joshi as corrupt cop Lele is good and so is Shiv Subramaniam playing his associate. Back after a long hiatus veteran actor Deb Mukherjee is menacing. Tenzing Nima as Nepali don, Tashi is a hoot. Amongst the crowd of the huge ensemble cast, Amole Gupte manages to create a huge impression with his chilled out Bhau act. His one-liners will have you rolling on the floor laughing.
Kaminey is also an excellent team effort with superb camerawork by Tassaduq Hussein, razor sharp editing by Meghna Manchanda Sen and gritty action by Shyam Kaushal. Vishal Bharadwaj has managed to strike a sixer donning multiple hats as a director, producer, singer, music director, screenplay and dialogue writer. His treatment of Kaminey may be on the lines of Quentin Tarantino and Guy Richie’s caper movies but the stamp of a Vishal Bharadwaj movie seen all over in Omkara is yet again on full display here.
Kaminey is a must watch at any cost. It redefines the rules of Hindi filmmaking and most importantly delivers what it promises. Chances are it may well turn out to be your favourite caper movie ever and wanna watch it again and again.

Mr. Vishal Bhardwaj, I want my money and time back. ‘Kaminey’ is the worst movie I hv ever seen. Shame on u Mr. Vishal
Yet nt seen,,
Teja
UTV must have given quite a gd chunk of bucks to all these critics….to universally right rave review abt this movie.
The movie is just one word…pathetic…main cast is just ok….but all the supporting cast, are a bunch of newcomers who were to act. everyone is just unrealistic. They r comparing this movie to tarantino n guy ritchie…..except the ending where all meet up….there is absolutely nothing that matches.
In pulp fiction….john trovolta n samuel jackson were sleek n ruthless….here gangsters, police, heroes all r shown really stupid. the chini gangster is shown living n dealing in crores, living on yatch, whereas in the last scene, he arrives in a taxi sitting in the front seat, how sick is that.
Camera work is simply…HEAD paining…hand held camera shots…plzzzz.. everyone in the theater was having a head pain. We all ended up nt seeing at least 25-30 mins of the movie coz of this. Morely I think Vishal doesnt at all want songs in his films picturised. As a viewer I would love to see the awesome songs picturised n choreographed properly, but 4 some reason; best known to him; Vishal hates to picturise the songs in his films. eg. beedi, namak…..n here dhan-ta-nan n raat ke dhai baje n fatak….it seems tht the producers wanted the songs in, whereas the director was nt at ll interested.
It seems Vishal wanted to make Pulp fiction plus snatch….but ended up making up ‘daud’. the only difference been….daud made us laugh….n this is just a no brainer. If you were making daud …promote it as DAUD not as Pulp Fiction.
We in India have to learn one thing….making a different movie, doesnt transform in a good one…the hole thing has to fall in place…eg. taare zameen par, rock on, DCH….
very nice movie
good movie
I waf a wonderfully scripted, edited, movie..
Muft Watch.. Shahi was aewfome..
I dont know why people can’t appreciate good things (like Kaminey)..
They should get themselves checked..
the best movie…shahid kapoor is brillent….best performence by shahid for 2009…all the best shahid
there we will get the diffirence between srk’s movie and other’s movie
Glad to see a refreshing film from Bolly!
Good performance from the actors – even the “no name” ones.
Yes there may have been some inconsistencies but I can’t remember seeing a Bolly film for quite a while that I immediately wanted to watch again.
Thourougly enjoyable, maybe not a film to take a your girlfriend with – but definitely one to see with your mates!
It’s a great crime and really hurt to Orissa people.
This type of mistake shouldn’t repeat again in any
movie.
Phaltu movie
Bad movie don’t watch it
Its really boring.
Direction is very bad
No story, no good songs, This is a lousy movie and I wasted my time and money. There is no story, no plot. I think people who gave ***** review must be paid to write best review. Do not waste your money on this lousy movie.
I love u Shahid the song TAN TA NA is osum
what a fantastic movie….. shahid really rocks in the movie…. ..Totally enteritenment package….
All those who say this movie is bad must be DUMB… seriously, it means that you guys must’ve dropped off your brains before seeing Kaminey. Or is it that you like to **** up to Karan Johar and his ilk? Guys and gals, don’t listen to any ****** doper who tells you that Kaminey is bad. It is a LANDMARK in Indian Cinema… GO FOR IT!
i agree with Sabse Bada Khiladi! karan johar must have f*ckd up the minds of people hu say this movie is bad. there’s no spoon feeding in this awesome-good-to-be-true movie. besides, in my opinion-kaminey is the best bollywood movie EVER made!
