Here’s the new incarnation of Hindi Cinema. On every frame, you’ll feel there’s something interestingly new. But you’ve got to carefully watch every sequence and don’t be too late for the show or else you’ll not understand what’s actually going on. Merely, when every filmmaker in Indian Film Fraternity does attempt on making Hollywood-fangled flick, Vishal Bharadwaj sets accomplishes with this task.

Michelangelo Antonio, Pedro Almodover, Quentin Tarantino and who else? Vishal Bharadwaj strikes straight into the list of these top-charting world cinema filmmakers, far-famed for setting trends with their unique style.

Vishal Bharadwaj redefines cinema with ‘Kaminey’. It’s hard to say, everyone may like this flick. But, our kind advice is: watch this film, if you like, it’s fine or else make sure you like it. This is how a film should be made.

KAMINEY is about a pair of twin brothers, Charlie & Guddu (played by Shahid Kapoor). Charlie lisps (pronounces ‘F’ in place of ‘S’) while Guddu has a stutter problem. They are as different as chalk and cheese. And they can't stand the sight of each other.

Till one fateful rainy night, their lives cross. Charlie gets mixed up in a deathly get rich quick scheme, while Guddu realizes that the love of his life, Sweetie (Priyanka Chopra), has unwittingly put a price on his head. It's a dark comic ride there on as the brothers are sucked into a world of drugs, guns and money. Their lives collide head on with the lives of gangsters, rebel soldiers, rogue politicians and crooked cops.

In the middle of this crazy adventure, the brothers have to run to protect themselves, their dreams, their love....

And most importantly, realize that all they have is each other.

You’re sure to get awestruck after watching Shahid Kapoor’s performance. Wow! How did it happen all of a sudden transition with this guy, who never opted for violent themes? And now, there’s no stopping for Shahid Kapoor has he shores on the line of leading actors of Khans and Kumars. On the pars, Priyanka Chopra shoots out a trenchant show. She outperforms her previous show in ‘Fashion’. She’s sure to gain the best awards for the season. Amol Gupta (Story and screenwriter of ‘Taare Zameen Par’) kick-starts with a fantastic journey as an actor and he’s awesome on performance, especially during his culmination point.

Though you may feel slightly losing out your patience in penultimate sequences, the bloodcurdling drama in climax almost like ‘Reservoir Dogs’ just pumps your heart more than the normal rate. A good beginning-awesome narration- perfect climax: Well, what else do you need while watching a flick.

Vishal Bharadwaj on his musical score scintillates on both songs and background. Especially, the number ‘Danta Daen’ is a bouncy pick that will keep repeating all throughout first half.

‘Kaminey’ is a film that you have got to watch it with our already mentioned advice: if you like, it’s fine or else make sure you like it.

Verdict: Colossally tremendous

Rating: 4/5
