Kaminey - itf fantaftic

After a long time, I got to see a gangster movie. Not exactly like Satya or Company, but more like Johnny Gaddar. The difference was there were multiple gangs involved here and the dialogues were unconventional. The movie was definitely fast paced like Johnny Gaddar, but the ending was not as thrilling as Johnny Gaddar. I think I should not compare the two of them here. All in all, a must watch. Vishal Bharadwaj stands up to his reputation yet again.

The movie's cinematography is really admirable. The background scenes are excellent in showcasing the Mumbai monsoon season with heavy rains and grey skies all throughout the movie. The music is good and the background sounds are awesome. I remember a scene where the brothers are to be exchanged among 2 gangs and the sound of the local train gradually increasing its pace is a perfect complement. Coming to the dialogues, without them, the movie would not have been that good. They are not exactly mind blowing, but they somehow add substance and at the same time make you laugh. Acting wise, everyone seemed to be good especially Shahid Kapoor. The song fatak is one of the most creative things I have seen for a long time in Hindi movies. It is an aids awareness song and the way it is choreographed and its lyrics and the music make it special.

Some dialogues in the movie are really memorable. Like the last dialogue of the film "yeh fofia hai aur yeh f ko f nahi bolti". The film's ending was a happy one and not unlike other anti-hero movies where the protagonist dies after doing what was necessary.

My favorite dialogue was - "aur rahi un do heeron ki baat - pehla to iski ungali pe hai aur doofra to yeh khud hai" bloody awefum.
