Story

Kaminey is about Charlie and Guddu, twin brothers played by Shahid Kapoor, both of whom suffer from speech impediments and who can’t stand the sight of each other. Charlie, who pronounces S as F, is a small time gangster. Guddu, who stammers, is a mousy NGO worker. Guddu’s life plans, chalked out until 2014 on a chart stuck in his cupboard, are wrecked when he impregnates Sweety, his fiery girlfriend who until now has neglected to tell him that she is the sister of a powerful gangster-politician, Bhope, played by Amol Gupte. Meanwhile Charlie has come to possess a guitar containing cocaine worth 10 crore. The quintessential gambler thinks he’s finally hit the big score. What follows is a frantic, convoluted journey through Mumbai’s mean streets which are of course populated by many Kamineys: corrupt cops, nasty drug dealers, gun wielding henchmen. Eventually, the brothers’ determinedly separate narratives collide and they are forced to come together.

Be warned: there are stretches of Kaminey that will thoroughly confuse you, starting with the first fifteen minutes. The film has eleven-odd characters that you need to keep track of. Snatches of dialogue are in Bengali and Marathi. If you look away from the screen to send a text message, you might miss another twist in this very, very tangled tale. The first half moves slowly. You might be bewildered and perhaps even bored. But stay with the film. Because the pacing picks up in the second half and Vishal ties up the threads in an exhilarating climax, which, incredibly enough, manages to combine stunning violence with humor.

Kaminey is a good movie to watch. A good movie with good direction and some stunning scenes.

Cast: Shahid Kapur, Priyanka Chopra, Amol Gupte, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Tenzing Nima, Shiv Subrahmanyam, Hrishikesh Joshi

Director: Vishal Bharadwaj

In "Kaminey", Shahid Kapur has dared to pick a subject which would have looked impossible to execute when read on paper. With his outstanding performance in the film, Shahid joins the list of top actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

And yes, Shahid and Priyanka have a crackling on-screen chemistry. After "Kaminey", audiences would be expecting a lot from him each time.

Director Vishal Bharadwaj has redefined filmmaking with "Kaminey". While making the film there was absolutely no reference point for Bharadwaj at least in Bollywood cinema. He picked from Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino brands of cinema and adapted it perfectly to a Bollywood milieu.

Bharadwaj takes his audience into a world that has perhaps never been explored before on Indian screen. He keeps introducing characters for the first 30 minutes while making sure that the twin brothers (Shahid) aren't brought together in a single frame till way past the interval.

He also confuses his audience on purpose in at least a couple of sequences and tests their intelligence. There's the scene where two groups of three characters each are shown interacting amongst themselves and eventually it turns out that all of them were in the same room. Or the entire hotel sequence where a drug deal goes kaput. And then, of course, the eventual coming together of all the 10 odd characters who are connected to one another.

Set in Mumbai, the film is mostly shot on real locations. The director's insistence on canning shots outdoors pays off as the backdrop becomes difficult to disentangle from the elements of this thriller.

So what one gets to see is a day in the life of two brothers who are on the run for different reasons. Guido (Shahid) has seen a sudden marriage with Sweaty, played by Priyanka Chopra who is excellent in her relatively short but meaningful and important role. He is now being followed by Sweety’s brother (Amol Gupte).

Charlie (Shahid) has got hold of drugs worth Rs.10 crore and is now all set to sell them off to fulfil his long cherished dreams.

And in between, there are cops, gangsters, international drug mafia, narcotics department, a 'Jai Maharashtra' slogan-raising brother, an over-'coked' friend and his two mad Bengali brothers - all of whom make sure that "Kaminey" turns out to be one joyride that keeps the excitement on till the credits start rolling.

The film starts off decently though one has to concentrate hard to get the point of the narrative. All of that starts making sense after 30 odd minutes, but you still feel that there could have been a little more meat to the proceedings.

However, the post interval portions make 'Kaminey' simply irresistible. Layer after layer unfolds, dark as well as humane side of people are put on display and finally comes an explosive climax that pretty much justifies the route that Bharadwaj takes in "Kaminey".

After watching the film, the first question that comes to the mind is - 'Why was the film granted an 'A' certificate?'

"Kaminey" is one of the few must watch films of 2009. From narrative to execution - Bharadwaj shows that he knows the art of creating a new world of cinema and lays out a road ahead for many aspiring filmmakers.

Agyaat Movie Review | Agyaat Movie | Agyaat Movie Preview

Movie Review of Agyaat Movie, Agyaat Movie Review, Agyaat Movie Preview



Cast: Nitin Reddy, Priyanka Kothari, Gautam Rode, Rasika Duggal

Director: Ram Gopal Varma

Jungle fever has never been more contagious. Every corner of the Sri Lankan jungle in "Agyaat", as shot with mesmeric skill by cinematographer Surjodeep Ghosh, is filled with danger.

There lurks a diabolic unknown ('agyaat') monster in the treacherous greenery. Ram Gopal Varma has always been a master of manipulative terror. His camara range is constantly petrifying and persistently resonant. The sequences in "Agyaat" are ceaselessly shot in a way that suggests the presence of lethal characters and entities whom we and the people on screen cannot see...only feel.

In this endeavour to evoke ghoulish visions of omnipresent danger, Varma is vastly aided by the sound design.

Sound designers Dwarak Warrier and Leslie Fernandes go easy on the eerie sounds and beguiling banshees. Instead there are chilling eruptions of noises that you probably hear in the wilderness but don't pay attention to as being anything remarkable. The sound also includes snatches from Hemant Kumar Mukherjee's immortal "Kahin deep jale kahin dil" from the old "Bees Saal Baad".

But this is well into the new millennium. The perils of modern life such as cut-throat competitiveness often lead to the throat being literally cut.

Who knows who's killing the film unit in "Agyaat"? Maybe it's their own fears and ambitions that are killing them. And the crew's calm cinematographer (Kali Prasad Mukherjee) finally commits suicide. The spoilt bratty superstar's spotboy (Ishteyak) is pulled into a gruesome death even as he chants mantras to protect himself.

While in Varma's previous comparatively-tacky horror outing "Phoonk", god felled the devil, in "Agyaat" nothing works. You are doomed in the jungle. No force can protect you.

As one member after another of the film-within-film gets eliminated, Varma seems to be spoofing Agatha Christie's "10 Little Indians".

There are dollops of tantalising irony in the way the typical and tight hierarchy in a film unit evaporates as imminent peril puts people in perilous positions. The repressed spotboy's outburst against the spoilt superstar played by Gautam Rode, every inch the despicable brat, is a masterly manoeuvre designed to show how fear melts all class differences.

Portions of the brief supernatural whodunit are unintentionally funny. But all said and done, "Agyaat" gives us enough spine-chilling moments to make us wonder at the end, who the hell is killing all these people???

The grisly plot weaves in humane moments. Nitin Reddy, who makes his Bollywood debut with this film, is confident, honest and has a skilful body language. He and his assistant Sameera (Rasika Duggal) have this very believable bonding that perhaps Shah Rukh Khan and Karisma Kapoor had in "Dil To Pagal Hai".

Life Partner Movie Review

Life Partner Movie Review | Life Partner Movie Preview | Life Partner Movie Review | Life Partner Movie Preview

A few question cross your mind when you are about to watch “Life Partner”…

• Have not I watched something like this in the past? Is not it getting repetitive?
• Have not I had enough of mindless potboilers?
• What’s Rumy Jaffery going to serve now? A rehash of what he’s made in the past?

There is so much negativity surrounding “Life Partner”, even though you do not have a clue about its content/materiial. Even though you have no inkling what it has to offer. The buzz is clearly missing too.

But, but, but…never judge a book by its cover. To answer the questions I raised at the very outset, let me say that “Life Partner” is not innovative or ground breaking, but it is interesting and entertaining. One may assume that it is a nonsensical comedy, but it is not. Instead, it is a ‘family film’ (a popular term for socials/paarivaarik movies within the industry). It gives you a sneak peak in to the lives of two couples…one, who believes in love marriage and the other, who believes in arranged marriage.

“Life Partner” also surprises you because Rumy Jaffery incorporates vignettes from real life. Most importantly, “Life Partner” entertains, makes you laugh (at even silly jokes) and keeps you hooked for most parts of the movie. It is only the climax that acts as a spoilsport. But more on that later!

To sum up, “Life Partner” carries no buzz and also the baggage of zilch expectations. But this movie springs a pleasant surprise. You leave the auditorium with a smile, not a smirk!

Karan (Fardeen Khan) and Sanjana (Genelia D’Souza) are madly in love with each other. Marriage is the next step to cement their relationship. But is ‘love marriage’ the right way to be?

For Bhavesh (Tusshar Kapoor), his life partner, Prachi (Prachi Desai), comes with the approval of his family. But is ’arranged marriage’ the way forward? Is it right to prioritize familu over marriage? Does Prachi have to prove herself as a worthy daughter-in-law to qualify as an ideal wife?

Jeet (Govinda) is an accomplished divorce lawyer who does not believe in the institution of marriage. He can not be monogamous and is often responsible for his getting his clients divorced. But is ‘no marriage’ the right policy? Will Jeet even find a partner and accept matrimony?

“Life Partner” is about three protagonists struggling on the marital marathon, but on different tracks.

“Life Partner” is a simple story told in a simplistic manner. Director Rumy Jaffery comes to the point at the very outset and the principle characters and their characteristics are well established at this juncture. The movie is laced with funny incidents initially, but gets serious as it reaches the interval point. In this case too, the interval point is a shocker and you await the second half for several reasons. The post interval portions get more real, since the two marriages go through a crisis and the transition is depicted wonderfully.

However, the climax is a downer. Ideally, the writer should have come up with a better thought of conclusin, instead of the one that’s depicted now.

Rumy Jaffery shows ample imporvement over his previous movie. He has handled a number of scenes very well, especially the Tusshar - Prachi - Darshan Jariwala portions. Pritam comes up with an ordinary soundtrack. ‘Kuke Kuke’ is the best of the lot. Yunus Sajawal’s screenplay has several appealing moments. Niranjan Iyengar’s dialogues are first class. Sameer Arya’s cinematography is admirable. The locations of South Africa are a visual treat. In fact, the movie sports a rich look all through.

Govinda is in terrific form this time. After “Partner”, the talented actor gets a role that does complete justice to his abilities. He seems to have worked on his looks and that only enhances the impact. Fardeen Khan is very likable. In fact, the role requires him to go overboard at times and he does that so well. Genelia D’Souza is the scene stealer. She is superb and one of the prime reasons that makes “Life Partner” watchable.

Tusshar Kapoor pitches a remarkable performance yet again. He looks so perfect for his part. “Life Partner” is yet another movie that showcases his talent well. Prachi Desai sh0wed abundant promise in “Rock On!!” and excels in “Life Partner” as well. This pretty girl has the potential to carry off most difficult scenes with aplomb. Amrita Rao (sp. app.) does not create magic. Anupam Kher is just right. Darshan Jariwala is proficient. Vikram Gokhale is good. Jagdeep is superb in a brief role.

On the whole, “Life Partner” may lack the hype, but this one springs a pleasant surprise. Its aimed at the families and that section of film going audience should take to it gradually, with a strong word of mouth. The holidays in its opening weekend should help the movie grow.

Sikandar Movie Review, Movie Review (Sikandar)

Sikandar Movie Review

Cast: Parzaan Dastur, Ayesha Kapoor, R Madhavan, Sanjay Suri, Arunoday Singh

Director: Piyush Jha

Rating: 2 Stars

Films on Kashmir hold out an immediate connect. Unsurpassable beauty, turbulent histories, unresolved issues-- all make for irresistible cinema. The strength of the beautifully shot `Sikandar’ is that it travels right into the heart of the troubled valley, and tells us straight-up that airbrushed pictures of the placid Dal Lake are an illusion. The weakness lies in the laxity that overlays the film, preventing it from reaching its full explosive potential.

Fourteen-year-old Sikandar ( Parzaan) stumbles upon a gun on his way to school one day. And that changes his life, much to the dismay of his pretty friend Nasreen ( Ayesha). His new acquisition, which he stashes in his bag, leads him into a vortex of conspiracy and danger. Zeroing in on him are a group of school bullies, an army captain ( R Madhavan), a suspiciously mild Kashmiri leader ( Sanjay), a gun-toting militant ( Arunoday) : the more Sikandar struggles to get away, the more he gets mired.

Just like Santosh Sivan’s `Taahan’, here too a young boy becomes the face of the conflict ; here too the inevitable loss of innocence becomes a strong hook. From the little boy who won our hearts in `Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, Parzaan has grown into a winsome teen. His boyish pre-occupations with football, and learning how to be friends with girls, all ring true. Not so Ayesha’s ( seen in `Black’ before this) unsmiling young lady : the reason why she is so closed-in is revealed right in the end, but by that time, she comes off more expressionless than anything else. And the sinister tones are laid in more by the background score, than by the interactions of the characters.

Shadow Movie Review, Movie Review (Shadow 2009)

Cast & Crew:

Genre : Action, Thriller

Banner : Great Entertainment

Cast : Milind Soman, Sonali Kulkarni, Hrishita Bhatt, Sachin Khedekar, Sonia Mehra, Samir Aftab

Music Director : Anand Raj Anand

Director : Rohit Nayyar

Movie Review Shadow | Shadow Movie Review

Only reason to watch this rather B-gradish movie is the leading man, Nasser Khan, who is actually blind in real life. How has a man who can see nothing carried off those rather complicated stunts? How has a man who has never seen dance, shake his leg to the tunes of Shadow on screen? It’s probably the first time, when someone blind portrays the leading role in a commercial Bollywood flick.

Shadow directed by Rohit Nayyar is a murder mystery that revolves around a serial killer Arjun Sherawat. Sanjana, a police officer, is handed the case of solving a serial killing that has been haunting the city for over six months. With no clues left behind the clean murders have kept everyone puzzled about who could possibly be the convict. Unfortunately some instances puts two reporters - Sheetal and Rahul under the suspects list. The rest of the movie goes about cornering the guilty and finding the motive behind all the killings.

Well, how we wish director Rohit Nayyar had concentrated more on the script than just trying to showcase the acting skills of Nasser Khan. The man is expected to do, what most superstars, fail at. Carrying a movie purely on the onscreen histrionics of an actor is a tough task and when the leading man is blind, it makes it a lot harder.

Almost all scenes fall flat, including the song sequences. Performances are outright pathetic, although credit should go to Nasser Khan, for all the hard work and dedication that has gone into his performance, he is a non-actor. The director and the actor try every trick in the book, to make the performance stylish and effective, but quite unfortunately, the results are disastrous. Technically the film is okay, but content-wise a dud.

Milind Soman as Rahul Kapoor is fine. Sonali Kulkarni has put on a lot of weight and this has to be one of her worst performances. Others are equally bad.

To sum up, if you are too curious to watch a man without vision, act, wait for the DVD release. Not worth the price of your ticket.
