Kaminey, (In english, it means Rascals. No.. not you…) - the movie, is finally here to make you shiver. Vishal Bharadwaj made an attempt to brings Hollywood to Bollywood, remindful of the rashness of Quentin Tarantino’s action thrillers which slings the viewer into the dark, violent world of crime and criminals, leaving you no time to blink or breathe easy. Moreover its certainly a film for the people with above average intelligence to understand the script of the film. For others, its a messy dish with bitter taste, at least for first 10 minutes when the movie begins.
The Story:
Charlie & Guddu (Shahid Kapoor in double role) are twins. Guddu is a NGO worker, who stammers while speaking. While Charlie lisps Guddu has stuttering problem, and can’t stand each other. One fateful night Charlie gets sucked into a deadly get rich quick scheme, while Guddu realizes that the love of his life, Sweety has put a price on his head. It’s all about how the brothers, sucked into a world of drugs, guns and money tackle gangsters, rebel soldiers, rogue politicians and crooked cops while protecting themselves, their dreams, and their love.
Kaminey is about twin brothers Charlie and Guddu (Shahid Kapoor in double role), both of whom suffer from speech impediments and they hate each other.
Guddu is a NGO worker, who stammers while speaking. He is of common man type with straight-forward attitudes who prefers to live a peaceful, non-violent life. He is punctilious and has life plans made till 2014 on a chart pasted in his cupboard.
Guddu realizes love of his life with his girl friend Sweety (Priyanka Chopra) who is the sister of a Underworld Gangster cum Politician, Bhope (Amol Gupte). Guddu’s all plans are shattered when he impregnates Sweety and suddenly marries without knowing that she is the sister of Bhope.
Charlie is a small gangster, who pronounces the alphabet ‘S’ as ‘F’. Charlie is totally opposite to Guddu in every aspect of life except one thing, stammering problem. He steals a guitar containing cocaine worth 10 crore from a bunch of currupt cops on streets. Then he thinks he has finally made it to the big league.
What happens next is a gripping journey through Mumbai streets surrounded with many Kamineys like corrupt policemen, drug dealers, henchmen, informers and agents. Finally the two brothers though having separate story lines meet at a point in film and they are forced to come together however they hate each other.
