Kaminey is a hatke masala movie first of its kind in bollywood history. While the critics are putting it in the tarantino style movies but there are many differences. You must watch it twice to have a opinion about it.  Other than the title of movie and glimpses of the past in between there is nothing else common with pulp fiction  or reservoir dogs. Vishal bhardwaj have his own style while all his previous movies are slow and spontaneous kaminey progresses too fast there are too many stories mingling with each other and central characters are twin brothers who hate each other. unlike of all the twin characters of bollywood they have a same accent and have a common problem with speech but they lives separately and when the need arises they are willing to sacrifice life of each other. The cinematography is best of the bollywood and the credit goes to tassaduq hussain who have earlier worked in omkara. I liked the go charlie scene which is filmed in a five star mumbai hotel. Producers presents it like a action movie of the 70s with all the guns , goons and dishum dishum. But the dhen te nan is more in the first half of drama then the final climax. The movie might not be popular with the naive indian movie goers but the urban class and the young generation will certainly like it. The movie should be watched by all the cinema goers as one critic have rightly put “like it or leave it you can not ignore it”. Other than the lead pair shahid and priyanka almost every character in the movie have a experience in stage acting. But shahid and priyanka are too good with acting particularly shahid is brilliant with most part of the movie the camera is on him. Amole gupta is great as a mee marathi manus politician of mumbai who hate all the outsiders coming to bombay. Though the movie is not yet opened in bombay because of swine flu there are many dialogs which are not understandable to non marathi peoples and the subtitles are in english for the part where african smugglers are conversing and also there were dialogs which are in english and bengali too. The creator are not at all taking the vast audience of bollywood in consideration. Earlier the language problem have hit the star studded omkara which have so many of its dialogs in the west U.P  dialects that was not understandable to vast indian audience who have missed their share of laughs because they cannot understand the words being sad. But that did not discouraged the director to do a similar thing in his next movie. The dialogs were pretty good and my favorite of all is when charlie says

waat iffey nahin lagti ki tu konfa rafta chunta hai.waat lagti hai iffe ki tu konfa rafta chodta hai.

The music is really good as in all the director’s movies and the songs and dance are in the sync with the story. Like both omkara and maqbool kaminey have one fast beat song, one public gathering song, one intimate romantic song and one is a slow song. Sung and picturised in the way with vishal bhardwaj stamp all over them.

   I didn’t like it much. Not sure, at times I felt the film wasn’t going anywhere plus it was quite predictable few times and the last action scene was a drag, where like Omkara you know most people would get killed.

   @mayank. I will not compare it with omkara or maqbool both of which were based on shakespeare tragedies. kaminey is a modern bollywood masala movie where our heroes and there heroine survives while everyone else dies.But being a masala movie alone can not bring it a favourable response from audience who feeds on typical indian movies and are not that smart to know what is going on.
