Achi filme do tarah ki hoti hai
Ek jo achi hoti hai
aur ek jo bahut achi hoti hai ..

Kaminey comes into the latter category ..

The story of Kaminey is taken from a idea of Cajetan Boy and presented to us in a superb way, the mad world of kamineys where killing also takes place as a joke. Charlie(Shahid) and Guddu(Shahid) are poles apart from each other, one speaks f instead of s and other stammers. Sweety(Priyanka) is pregnant and tellls Guddu that she is sister of politician Bhope Bhau(Amol Gupte) and Guddu could be in trouble. Where as a Charlie has mistakenly stolen a Guitar which contains drugs worth 10 crore. Police and gang are after Charlie while Bhope Bhau is after Guddu, what will happen when lives of both brothers collide with each other, and how will they get out of this mess, is what Kaminey deals with.


Kaminey is one of those films that doesnt take 10-15 mins to settle in, it charges on you from the 1st dialogue of the film itself that introduces the film title "Kaminey".

The background score of the film keeps you on the edge of the seat, be it dhan te nan, some rd burman tracks or the finale track that isnt present in the audio album even.

There are so many characters in the film who keep you interested in their own different ways.

1st Half of the film is super paced while the 2nd Half slows down a touch and also keeps backtracking time and again to old scenes making references to the current scene.

Climax is good, though it could had been even better.



Shahid Gives a wonderful performance both as Charlie and Guddu, and the credit should go to Vishal Bharadwaj for extracting so much out of him. You couldnt even find a single scene where he faltered, atleast I couldnt.

Priyanka Chopra is continuing the good form she has built since Fashion, though at times she sounds like a cry baby in the film. She even has many scenes with Marathi language, hard to understand though what she says in it.

Amol Gupte was superb, couldnt imagine that it was his debut performance.

Micheal(dont knw his real name), but before the film itself, I was madly waiting to see his role along with Charlie. And he didnt dissappoint me.Bacha hai faala, Tope bhau bope bhau tope tope bhau . He is simply marvellous for me in each and every scene he has got in the film. Ae sharadmuni.

Lolo and Lebe, police inspectors are mean and yet comical. Ae gaana ga na koi

Tashi, the great, is superb too . Business is Business and Power is Power.

Its hard to leave out anyone from the film.


Its one of those films where the violence is mixed with black humour, people are getting killed and still you are going to laugh at those scenes as thats how much Kaminey the people are.

If there is anything that I didnt like much was the Picturisation of Kaminey title song, I feel it deserved something better, and specially the lines kabhi hum kaminey nikle kabhi doosre kaminey could had been used somewhere atleast, may be 2 ppl killing each other and putting the line in remix format in the background or some other way .

Also, as a audience one has to adjust with the world of Guddu and Sweety, because their scenes slow down the screenplay and the moment Charlie scenes come, you expect something to happen.



My favourite scenes from the film ..

All Dhan te nan background scenes,rd burman track backgrounds specially the one where Charlie is extremely happy for the chota fhortcut choosen by him.Michael scenes,spiderman i am spiderman. Dada scenes, kargil war ki heroine,ak47 ki chacheri behan. And many more .......


For me the full credit to everything that has come out of this film goes to only one man i.e Vishal Bharadwaj, firstly the way he has fetched out great performances from each artist present in the film and then the way he has executed the idea of Cajetan boy, wont have been a easy experience at all, even Vishal told in a interview, he wont ever make Kaminey type film again.

One thing is sure though, that Kaminey demands attention, the twists comes suddenly and if you miss a scene, you could miss something. Also, you need to bear some bengali,marathi and angola(though its subtitles comes written). Bengali is still easy to get, I atleast got a bit of it. Marathi was tough.

There is still so much to write, but then I would end up giving out the film away totally.


Overall, Kaminey is a film that you shouldnt miss at all, only and only if you are a Cinema lover...
