Kaminey

Thursday, January 1, 1970 • Hindi Comments

A very long-long time indeed! Shahid Kapoor's previous release `Kismat Konnection' had hit the screens a year ago. The charming lad had to keep us hold back. Perhaps, he's planning with a big bang of success with `Kaminey'. Thusly, Shahid Kapoor has double delight as he enacts dual roles: Guddu and Charlie.  Post `Omkara', Vishal Bharadwaj has crafted yet another flamboyantly adventuresome tale.  
 
 Guddu and Charlie are brothers, born and raised in Dharavi, the world's largest slum dwelling in the heart of the megalopolis, Mumbai.
 
 They also happen to be identical twins, in early twenties, hoping to leave the squalor behind and move into a life of prosperity and dignity. But the similarity ends here.
 
 Guddu works as a trainee in a small NGO firm in the city. He hopes to climb up to the top of the corporate ladder. He wants to be a bona fide member of the burgeoning Indian middle class. His career has only just begun though and the road to bourgeoisie is both long and arduous. Yet Guddu is at it. He is honest, diligent and careful. Especially careful.
 
 Charlie makes a living hedging bets at the race course. He moves around the plush hordes of the rich and famous at the races. For him this is just a way to make quick money and he dreams of becoming a legitimate bookie one day. Charlie is streetwise, wily and brave. And only for himself.
 
 The brothers don't like each other. They believe they have nothing in common, not even their speech defect. While Guddu stammers, especially when he is nervous, Charlie has a lisp. The brothers have built their lives so that their paths don't ever cross. They believe it's only a question of time before they are out of each other's sight forever.
 
 All that is about to change. In one day. A crack of doom on an unusual day; just right for the unusual events that unfold in its course!!!
 
 Well, right from the day the film's first look was screened in theatres, the diehard fans of Priyanka Chopra were vividly guessing about her exceptional looks for this flick. Much surprisingly, unlike her previous flicks `Dostana' and `Fashion', she does a deglamorized role enacting `Sweetie'. Of course, a gangster's sister in herded regions of Dharavi is supposed to be cavorting with such looks. Vishal Bharadwaj hails about her performance, `her personations as a girl so happy all the time and on the pars, so traditionalistic in heart will win her laurels'. Amol Gupta, Creative Director who conceptualized `Taare Zameen Par' does the baddie role.
 
 Pertaining to film's title `Kaminey', filmmaker Vishal Bharadwaj adds that it wasn't for publicity sake, but has lots of relevance with film's theme. Every character in this flick has dark shades as well good traits'. Adding more, Vishal reveals the film would be off adventurous-ride, somewhat unforeseen in B-Town.
 
 The film was earlier slated for release in June first week and has been postponed to August 14.
