Vishal Bhardwaj and Shahid Kapur need to take a bow. The former for delivering an out and out commercial film full of authentic art and the latter for giving the best performance of his life. For many who ask and wonder what great film making is about. And want to understand where the 'craft' actually lies, Kaminey is a textbook, of how to rewrite the rules of Commercial cinema, and yet make a film that is sure to be a hit. Warning: It aint a lovey dovey cosy film (although some trailers gave that impression.. esp the romantic slow song and the raat ke dhai baje promo). This one is a dark film. Literally as well as in its subject. The screenplay is the first of the many pluses this film has to its merit. The recent Hollywood Comedy Hangover, showed how a film becomes funnier, only because of a non-linear plot, this one is a reply from the Hindi Film Industry. Agreed, it takes a while before you understand what really is happening here, the jigsaw in fact takes upto the interva...

Vishal Bhardwaj has himself to blame for raising the bar. Arguably OmKara is one of the finest films in recent times. It's music too was of very high standards compelling AR Rehman who won the film fare award the same year to admit while receiving the award that his favorite album of the year was infact OmKara. So comparison is obvious and after almost spending a week on the album or Kaminey. Here is my verdict - I still like Omkara better. This is not to take anything away fromit, for it might still end up being one of the best albums Of the year, and some it's songs will be chartbusters! Dhan-ta- tan for sure! A word about Gulzaar must be said. To Use words like Dhan-ta-tan and mix them up in a cocktail of poetry, is an art almost exclusive to him. The song, sung by Vishal and Sukhvinder is already topping charts, deservingly. The other song which will find its way into the hearts of the audience has got to be – Raat ke dhai baje. Teasing tones of Sunidhi and Rekha Bhardwaj ...

I have been a huge fan of Vishal Bhardwaj ever since Maqbool. In all his films, he has done a great job and the great combination of a music director and a director that Bardhwaj is, can be seen in all his films - Makdee, Maqbool, Omkara and even Blue Umbrella. To say that I have been waiting to watch his next film is an understatement. And how pleasantly surprised I was when I went to watch Delhi 6 and this promo was screened. Kaminey stars Shahid Kapoor in a double role and Priyanka Chopra. This movie has certainly aroused the curiousity of everybody, and be sure that I will follow this film up! For starters, this one's coming across as a comedy, with a "mean side" as the trailer says, Priyanka looks stunning another Desi Girl avatar and Shaid seems to have joined the six pack club.. Lets wait and watch
