Kaminey Review – Gotta love the Sten gun

in Bollywood, Films, I like..., The Worn-acular Collection

Sometimes you see a trailer and you know instantly you will like the film. Kaminey has turned out to be worth the wait and hype.

Shahid Kapoor, IMHO, has delivered his grittiest show yet. His saliva-swapping, bullet-popping double role with a double speech impediment must be one of the more challenging roles taken on by a mainstream Bollywood actor in recent times. Especially given the homosexual overtones in the portayal of Charlie.

Priyanka Chopra kicks ass too. For once she’s not the dolled-up accessory to the protagonist. My favourite bit involving her was when she picks up the Sten gun. When was the last time that gun appeared in a Hindi film? 1993?

I thought the climax parodied those of some gangster films. It might be considered overtly philosophical too. This film isn’t Omkara, but it stands apart from Vishal Bharadwaj’s films. My respect for him has grown. I’d give Kaminey 3.75 out of 5.

And here’s an addition to the Wornacular Collection:

First, pluck out the olives.

Mmmm…

Then, chew down the baby corn cobs one by one.

Mmmm…

Then, bite on the mushroom bits.

Mmmm…

Then, feel the tomatoes in your mouth, one juicy explosion at a time.

Mmmm…

Now, lift the cheese topping and slip down in your mouth, one inch at a time.

Mmmm…

Then, finish off the slice with a sprinkling of oregano and ketchup.

Mmmm…

And wash it all down with some cola.

Mmmm…

I repeat.

Mmmmmmm…
