Kaminey (avec Shahid Kapoor & Priyanka Chopra)

[capitaine_conan]

Le prochain film de Shahid Kapoor sort ce vendredi 14 juillet en Inde sauf à Mumbai à cause d'une alerte H1N1 annoncée mercredi - les cinémas seront fermés pendant quelques jours, je crois.

Note : 4/5 (qui est une excellente note)
"
Dhan Te Nan. Vishal Bhardwaj pays homage to cinema of yore and that's reason enough to go out and grab tickets for one of the most keenly anticipated films of our times.

A few monsoons ago, Farah Khan paid homage to the cinema of 1970s with OM SHANTI OM. Now Bhardwaj picks up characters that we have witnessed on the Hindi screen before, but executes it like Tarantino and Guy Ritchie do. He creates a film that's so different from movies we've witnessed thus far.

Write your own movie review of Kaminey Let's say, KAMINEY is bold, stark, funny and unpredictable and that's what works in its favour. There're two more reasons: Shahid Kapoor and of course, 'Dhan Te Nan'. Okay, we've seen Shahid pitching in a sincere act in his earlier films, but KAMINEY should catapult him to superstardom. His double role in KAMINEY is exemplary.

There's another star in KAMINEY and that's 'Dhan Te Nan'. Your heart starts beating faster every time you hear this in the background or also when Shahid breaks into the song. The track is as big a craze as 'Jumma Chumma' [HUM], 'Ek Do Teen' [TEZAAB] and 'Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai' [KHAL-NAYAK] and will contribute enormously in attracting viewers in hordes.



Having said that, I wish to add that KAMINEY is not the usual masala film. Sure, it's a well-made film, but there's no spoon feeding here. One has to be attentive, very attentive to grasp the goings-on and also the twists in the tale. It's not one of those lock-your-brains-at-home types, for sure. And that might not be too appealing a thought for those who swear by candyfloss or meaningless ha-ha-thons.

To cut it short, KAMINEY is a film with an attitude. Like it or leave it, but you'd never be able to ignore it. Word from the wise: Go for this hatke experience!

KAMINEY is about a pair of twin brothers, Charlie and Guddu [Shahid Kapoor]. Charlie lisps, while Guddu stammers. 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, Sweety [Priyanka Chopra], has unwittingly put a price on his head. 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.

The brothers have to run to protect themselves, their dreams, their love. And most importantly, realize that all they have is each other.

It takes time to get used to the world Vishal Bhardwaj wants us to enter. The characters, the relationships, the lingo, the tone and the setting... frankly, you don't take to KAMINEY instantly. But twenty minutes into the film and things start falling in place. From thereon, you're drawn into a different world completely.

The interval point raises the bar and also the expectations. The story takes a dramatic turn at this juncture, but minutes before that, 'Dhan Te Nan' makes the proceedings exhilarating and stimulating.



Right from the sequence after the interval to the finale, Vishal Bhardwaj peels off layer after layer, which erupts like a volcano towards the end. The end is long drawn and with so many characters in the film, it only takes time to give a culmination to each of those characters. And that gets tedious. The violent end might not find universal acceptance. Vishal Bhardwaj proves that he's a master storyteller. KAMINEY is a damn difficult film to conceptualize and execute and Vishal does it with gusto. Besides the soundtrack ['Dhan Te Nan'], the effectual background score only enhances the impact. The dialogues, also penned by Vishal, are super. At places, clapworthy. Tassaduq Hussain's cinematography is top notch.

Shahid takes a really big leap with KAMINEY. Note how he handles the two characters, Guddu and Charlie, brilliantly. This film is a step to superstardom and also which will open new doors and vistas for him as an actor. Priyanka is first-rate. She's so much in sync with her character. Also, she gets the Maharashtrian accent perfect. Amole Gupte is outstanding. An incredible actor! Tenzing Nima and Chandan Roy Sanyal leave a solid impression. Shiv Subrahmanyam and Hrishikesh Joshi are perfect.

On the whole, KAMINEY lives up to the hype associated with it. The film has three stars -- Vishal Bhardwaj [a name that's immensely respected by moviegoers], Shahid Kapoor and 'Dhan Te Nan' -- and this combo as also the crooked characters and a genuinely hatke subject should guarantee ample footfalls in cineplexes even after its initial weekend. The weekend business should be huge due to the holidays all through the weekend: Friday [Janmashtami], Saturday [Independence Day] and Sunday. Of course, the business is bound to be affected in parts of Mumbai territory due to Swine Flu, but the film should take off in a big way when theatres re-open.

C'est vrai pour les news et les photos, mais alors pour les critiques, on peut rarement faire confiance à Taran Ardash!!
Quoiqu'en ce qui concerne Kaminey, tout ce que j'ai lu est vraiment positif, ça a éveillé ma curiosité, peut-être même que pour une fois, Ardash a raison  .

[jawadsoprano]

C'est vrai que le Ardash, il arrose bien ses potes la plupart du temps. Mais là, visiblement Kaminey est un bon film. Après, reste à savoir si c'est un déjà vu par rapport aux films de Tarantino ou Ritchie ? J'espère qu'il y aura quelque chose en plus qui pourra le distinguer en tant que film indien.

Kaminey Review : Movie Review of Kaminey
Once in a particularly blue moon, comes a film that makes you wolf-whistle. One that then ties you to the edge of your seat and forcibly pins you there and pounces on you, eventually leaving you sitting in the dark, drained and grinning and more satisfied than a film has any business leaving you. This, ladies and gentlemen, is that kind of ride.
And way more.



Vishal Bhardwaj reinvents the filmi rollercoaster with feverish glee as he takes a wonderfully twisty plot and paces it flawlessly around a bunch of madcap, irresistible characters. It takes nearly twenty minutes to get used to things, the characters, the words they speak, they way they speak them, and the tone of the film -- heck, to get used to this film's world. Then on, the film just freakin' flies.

Yet before getting into the breakneck chaos, it is this unapologetic figure-it-out stance that we must initially applaud. Too often are our caper films and thrillers compromised by oversimplification and spoonfeeding, by filmmakers believing audiences need things spelt out and giving them bite-sized flashbacks to easily digest each twist. No more, says Bhardwaj, throwing us a delicious jigsaw and letting things fall into place in their own sweet time. The result is startlingly clever, an innovative film with genuine surprises. Kaminey  is the kind of film whose success we ought all pray for, because it'll prove smart cinema works.

So delicious is the movie's gradual unravelling that I refuse outright to let you in on the plot itself -- an enthralling tale of drugs, deceit, dingbats and dead-ringers -- because you need to discover this on your own. Go in as fresh as you can, you deserve to taste this one by yourself. Letting on what actually happens would make me one of the film's titular knaves.

Suffice it to say that Tassaduq Hussain, who also shot Vishal's brilliant Omkara, does it more than adequate visual justice, and the largely-handheld film emerges very stylistic indeed. It's fast, funny and constantly rollicking, and the characters are spectacularly entertaining.

As is the cast. Shahid Kapoor plays Guddu the stutterer and Charlie with a lisp, saying f for every s, and does strongly enough to credibly seem like two different people; Priyanka Chopra's  delightfully high-strung Sweety pulls off hysterical Marathi with impressive fluency. Yet it is the ensemble of fantastic oddballs who truly make this film special: from Amole Gupte's demented Santa Claus  routine as Maharashtra-lovin' gangster Bhope Bhau to Chandan Roy Sanyal's lethally capricious coke-lover Mikhail, from Shiv Subrahmanyam's helpless corrupt cop Lobo to Tenzing Nima's ludicrously likable drug-smuggler Tashi -- the film is full to the brim with splendidly unfamiliar faces, each of whom deserve a hand, not just the ones singled out here.



And Vishal generously gives each character their time in the spotlight. Guddu heartwrenchingly recounts his middle-school love, while Sweety captures beer-driven arousal with charming realism. Bhope bribes a big-eared nephew with chocolate, while Lobo coaxes the stutterer to give a police statement through song. The Bengali gangsters shoot bullets near each other for laughs, while the Marathi ones are transfixed by Guddu-Sweety screensavers on a laptop. Charlie unwraps a cellphone from plastic as he tries to placate gangsters, while -- in an extraordinary moment -- Mikhail sets the screen ablaze as he staggers in on the same gangsters, high on coke and unpredictable as a broken roulette wheel. There's so much to marvel at in these characters that it isn't funny. Oh wait, it is. Very.

What raises this rambunctious gangster movie head and shoulders above its genre is the writing. The wordplay is constant, subtle and absolutely exquisite -- a tough ask when one hero trips over words and the other narrates -- yes, narrates -- with a lisp. And there's a witty duality running through the film's twin tales: a character barks into a phone, and this sound echoes later when someone pleads in front of Bhope, daring not to take his name but just calling him repeatedly big brother, "bhau-bhau"; Mikhail introduces himself to Bhope by calling himself Tope Bhau, and nearing the climax Bhope is told by another that they have 'topein' (cannons) too; when Mikhail wins a race, arriving just in time, he breaks into the Spiderman theme -- and Charlie responds with Fpiderman-Fpiderman. When a character wants to steal a king's ransom in drugs to help a pregnant woman, another snarls back: 'Toh kya meri coke ujaadega?' Ha. It's nuanced, lovely writing, the sort we never get to see in films nowadays.

Bhardwaj has never been secretive about his Quentin Tarantino adoration, referencing the director in Blue Umbrella and doing it here again with high heels and an injection. While Tarantino exclusively uses music he already loves because he doesn't trust anyone to create anything as good, Bhardwaj has always done it all himself, writing, directing and composing -- not to mention singing, and its worth noting the slight s/f lisp he gives the film's magnificent title track when it plays on screen. Yet here he takes a leaf from QT's book and brings back the saucy RD Burman track 'Duniya mein logon ko' (from 1972's Apna Desh) and makes it his own, giving it sassy new context out of its dated backdrop -- no more Rajesh Khanna in a red suit, this song is now all Shahid.

So the film leaps through implied ultraviolence and dark humour and you hold on, exhilarated -- just as you have through, say, Guy Ritchie's  Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels. And while that itself would be no mean feat, Bhardwaj ups the ante with an audacious climax, suddenly bringing emotions right to the fore.



And while films of this ilk are full of disposable-bodies and corpses-in-waiting, one discovers that Vishal has -- sneakily, stealthily, surreptitiously -- kept the sentiments so darned real that by the time the climax rolls around, you do actually give a damn about these characters.

Wow. Now if that isn't kameenapan, I don't know what is. Awefome.

Si Rediff et BollywoodHungama sont d'accord, c'est déjà bon signe.

Je suis d'accord avec toi, Priyanka a prouvé dans Fashion et même avant ça dans Aitraaz qu'elle pouvait être une très bonne actrice.

Décidément, le film ferait-il l'unanimité ?

Mouais...

Comme je trouve qu'on va de plus en plus vers un style de distribution à l'américaine, dans lequel la promotion et l'appel aux petits copains sont LE moyen de vendre le film, je me méfie. On verra les notes des spéctateurs.

Astoundingly marvelous: Trust us!!! 'Kaminey' break the clichéd patterns of Hindi Cinema that wasn't actually appealing on all vistas. Possibly, if a film ever had good story on papers, filmmakers would be blindfolded on crafting a convincing narration. If ever we had these aspects in perfect terms, it would lack quality in technical aspects. But Vishal Bharadwaj strikes with a magniloquently mind-boggling flick top-notches in both technical and narrative factors.



KAMINEY is about a pair of twin brothers, Charlie & Guddu (Shahid Kapoor in dual roles). Charlie lisps 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, Sweety (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.

Vishal Bharadwaj needs no appraisals. He spelled an extraordinary work in his previous films with an unconventional tale and yet resplendently narrated. But 'Kaminey' works outstandingly best than these previous flicks. To be precise, the film goes distinctive amongst all releases of this year till the date.

So, what makes 'Kaminey' outperform?

Mind-boggling screenplay, perfect-and-bold casting takes it for a greater flight... Performance wise, Shahid Kapoor leaves no stones unturned as he scores centum. You would've never anticipated the young guy to scintillate with variations over the screens. So, Khans and Kumars have got a new contest to eclipse them... Priyanka Chopra isn't exclusion. How come she could pull out a spellbinding deliverance unforeseen ever? Amol Gupta requires special mention as he turns spotlights over him with an awe-inspiring performance. Chandan Roy could've yet more tried his best for perfection...



'Dhan Te Nan' becomes heart-n-soul gaana for everyone as they move out of theatres. Mark this around!  This line keeps repeating all over again and there's something more interesting on screen as you heed to it.

Finally, 'Kaminey' has the best chances of making great rounds in box office.  A tremendous performance by Shahid and Vishal's intellectuality of presenting the film makes it successful.

Verdict: Don't miss it...

Rating :*** ½

Au cas où serait pas encore convaincu qu'il faut le voir 

J'attends les résultats du box office pour voir si le public est en accord avec les critiques....

[Poonam]

J'aimerai avoir votre avis sur le film si quelqu'un a vu le film qui est sorti ce vendredi, il parait qu'il marche très bien au box office, il a battu Life Partner qui est sorti le meme jour...
