Kaminey

Movie - Kaminey

Rating - 2.5/5

Cast - Shahid Kapoor (identical twins), Priyanka Chopra

Plot - Twin brothers who dislike each other after their father's death are brought together by a twist of fate. Charlie (Shahid no. 1) gets in a mess when he steals drugs from the mumbai police, who were about to deliver it to druglord. Guddu (Shahid no. 2), on the other hand gets into his own set of troubles when he decides to marry Sweety (Priyanka), who is the sister of a hard core mumbai ganglord and a wanabe politician. The fate brings them together when the ganglord catches Charlie and Guddu falls in hands of the cops, and an exchange is planned between the two.

My Take - Sure the plot wasn't an innovative one and i could see the audience yawning beside me, still it wasn't all that bad. Songs were good and so was the acting by both Shahid and Priyanka, although that's more or less what I liked in the movie. The director seemed to have put in a lot of efforts in bringing each character to the fore, which is appreciated, but in experimenting with abstractness (in scenes such as the one where Charlie is racing on the track)in the script, he really could not achieve much. Action sequences were half hearted and a lot was left for audience to figure out (i could hear people ask what's going on now), not my idea of great direction. Although don't take my word for it, go and see for yourself, it surely a one time watch.
