Supreeth K i think Kaminey was the best movie of the year 2009 and will remain one of the best movies that Indian cinema has ever given.Shahid Kapur and Vishal Bharadwaj are the stars of the movie.A movie works because of its script and Kaminey has an excellent story and screenplay.The movie is on par with a classic Hollywood movie in all aspects.i was saddened when the movie lost the best movie award to 3 idiots.as we all know,Dhan Te Nan is a chart buster.Vishal Bharadwaj's direction is simply superb.His music is excellent.The movie's story is so simple yet so complex that you actually have to take a few minutes to explain the movie or say nothing at all! Simply superb story and screenplay.coming to the performances,Priyanka Chopra is elegant as is Amol Gupte and Chandan Roy Sanyal but it is Shahid Kapur who stands out as the soul of the movie through his renditions of Charlie and Guddu,two contrasting characters played so convincingly by Shahid that you feel they are played by different people.it is Shahid's best performance till date for which he deserved a Filmfare award but Indian cinema does not honour excellent movies instead they honour some totally insane and senseless movies.i would say that if you want a taste of cinema,watch Kaminey,an simple story told in a way you would least expect it to be told.marvellous,excellent,fantastic and fabulous!!!

Kevin Singh This movie is extraordinary.Period. Nothing can be said about this movie that hasn't been said yet and the word extraordinary still fall short of this Bollywood flick that made the audience all over the world realize that the industry can boast of director who can match Tarantino. Although I have to admit, the guitar drug plot and the finale, seems to be very loosely inspired by "True Romance" (written by Tarantino before he became a big hit with "Reservoir Dogs"), the movie stands out marvelously and Shahid Kapoor's work very much eclipsed the work of Charlie Sheen. Vishal Bhardwaj is the toast of the town and soon will prove to all that it is him who will lead Bollywood to the glorious heights that had been so far elusive.

cnhollywood Hey everyone, Just thought I'd clear the air about this oh-so-popular song that everyone is fawning over. Dhan Te Nan is a RIP-OFF of the theme song from the Kenyan TV drama called "Tushauriane" . Tushauriane was a TV show which aired in the mid-late 80's and the theme would play any time one of the characters was in danger. The theme was instrumental, featuring trumpets (not people singing "Dhan te nan..ten tanen" like in Kaminey) and if you heard it, you would recognize it immediately. Ask any kenyan who is familiar with "Tushauriane" and he/she will tell you the same. It's not likely you'll find the theme song on the net, unless you find a video recording of the show for sale somewhere. It really is an awesome theme.I'm glad VB was honest about where he got the screenplay for Kaminey ( a Kenyan wrote it) but it's too bad he didn't also come clean about Dhan te Nan coz it is completely taken from Tushauriane's theme song. Still, it makes me proud to see that Kenya's inspiring India's movies so heavily. Kaminey's not bad for an action movie! Cheers! CN

Manoj Arya Screen is split in two. In frame one, Charlie (Shahid like never before, outstanding) flying high, gloating on his luck just entered his trailer to collect the fortune he stumbled upon, but greets uninvited guests, a Jai-Maharastra propaganda politician Bhope (new found talent Amol Gupte) and his minions. Bhope is looking for Guddu (Shadid, again) Charlie's twin brother who married his sister Sweety (Priyanka in such a fiery, naturalistic performance). Being an UP native, Guddu can clearly put an end to Bhope's political career. Guddu, in other frame is arrested by corrupt cops mistaken for Charlie for the high narcotics drug deal payload, the very same fortune Charlie was collecting to cash in the first frame. Circle is complete. Stakes are high. Everyone is balls deep in the game. Screen flashes "1/2" instead of "interval" card and we manage to catch some air in this breathless manic ride. Vishal Bhradwaj's Kaminey is one of those tense, rich entertainments falling in the genre Quentin Tarantino and Coen brothers bred since their emerging heydays.A departure from dark, his previous two superb back to back adaptations of Shakespeare's great tragedies (Maqbool-Macbeth, Omkara-Othello) supremely talented writer-director reinvents himself with his latest. Still you sense the same filmmaker is present behind every frame. Setup this time is entirely pulp. Characters are gloriously straight off the neo noir literature pagess. Dialogues are deliciously crisp and plot is with a pulse. Working on his own screenplay and with editor Kaminey (means scoundrels) kicks into overdrive from scene one. It tells story of night that changes the life of its twin protagonists with speech impediments. One lisps, other stammers. Plot is convoluted with drugs, money, shiny stones, race fixers, corrupt cops, double crossing agents, crime syndicates, politicians, lover walking jagged razor edges, and a little divine intervention. Teamed up with editor director tells his story with brilliant inter cuts, that loopy, elliptical way. Pop culture references subtle and are of not from west but of our own golden age of cinema (of R D Burman mostly) which adds up are cinematic pleasures, one specifically nuanced one 'Duniya me…' where shirtless Charlie plays the holy-grail guitar at perfect moment. Music by (director again) is a sensation. Dhan Ta Nan is a masterpiece.For two third of film its gritty dramatic narration just flows flawlessly. It's only last act of the movie doesn't keep high as its predecessors. The back story of twins in extended monologues almost breaks the momentum of its previous two swift acts. And finally it spins out of control for its hyper action comic Reservoir Dogs climax climax on large scale. But it doesn't take away what Kaminey has achieved and has to offer and will open doors for pulp genre in here. Word is Go. Don't miss this bewilderingly bewitching piece of pure entertainment.
