Kaminey - Scoundrel, Bitch, Mean!

Uncategorized

After Lagaan, this is the hindi movie I watched on a cinema. Instantly I realize that the Hindi Film Industry has not grown much with respect to creativity and ideology. They have indeed improved on technical capabilities & increased on the financial expenditures.

The movies still revolve around gondaas, drugs, guns, couple kissing all over screen, pre-marital sex, girls pregnant before marriage, etc etc.
Through out the movie I wonder where went all the protestors of Slumdog Millionaire in which they claimed “it gave a bad image for India”. Kaminey is no different. The film makers should improve their strategy and include some morality in the movie making process.

The only relief is that they stopped loving in many different ways invented by the Khans, Kapoors and Kumars.

The introduction shows Shahid Kapoor the protagonist on a railway track dreaming about becoming a famous Bookie in the Mumbai Race Course and subsquently involved in a chasing sequence.

Another introduction for the second protagonist, again played by Shahid Kapoor shows him dancing away on the streets of Mumbai singing about “AIDS Awareness”.

Priyanka Chopra, lucky the Tamil Film Industry sent her back after giving her the first movie chance.

I wonder what made the producer finance such a movie. The following is the only explanation I could come up with.

Two story tellers approach the producer and give this one line story “a poor boy working for an NGO falls in love with a girl whose brother is a big politician. How the love succeeds is the rest of the story”

Two other story tellers approach the producer and give another online story “a orphaned boy brought up by big bookies dreams of becoming a bookie, but in a freak accident with police gets one of his best buddy bookie killed and he seeks revenge is the rest of the story”.

The producer intelligently thought over and combined the story and made it into 1 by including a father and twin son’s concept. Thus, he saved on the hero salary and mainly on double production costs.

A flash back about a poor dad and two sons are included for sentiment to connect both the stories.

A father steals a watch and screws up his life and also his two son’s life. One son grows and feels his life is screwed up because he is not able to become a bookie. Another son grows up and screws a girl. Because he screws a girl he is trouble from the girl’s brother and the girl as such is screwed because she is now pregnant. The movie revolves around all these screwed people and here is the catch: The producer’s name is Screwvala. A good kaminection

If you can take a hike along the creek to avoid watching the movie: I will recommend that.
