Kai Po che’ Movie Review- Tanmay Dubey


 

Starring :- Sushant Singh Rajput, Raj Kumar Yadav, Amit Sadh Amrita Puri

Director:- Abhishek Kapoor


Kai Po che- is a special film for two persons 1. The Director Abhishek Kapoor and 2. Chetan Bagat who’s best-selling novel “3 Mistakes of my life” is the inspiration behind the film. Before this film Abhishek has directed two films ‘Aryan’ which struggled to release and ‘Rock On’ which many people said was successful because of Farhan Akhtar. Similarly for Chetan Bhagat, before this film he has got two films based on his novels (‘Hello’ : ‘One night @ call center’ which did not do well @ box office and ‘3 idiots’ based on ‘5 point someone’, the success of that film was largely because of Aamir Khan and Raj kumar Hirani.)

In a way ‘Kai Po che’ is a boat which will test the laurels of both Abhishek Kapoor and Chetan Bhagat in their respective tough waters. To make a film based on a best-selling novel is never an easy job and thankfully Abhishek Kapoor achieves this tough task with a fairly good margin. The movie is about three friends and the now famous male bonding in Bollywood. Its shares the life and times of three friends during a time span of 15 years and interestingly the historical test match between India and Australia in the year 2001 becomes part of narrative and breaks the silence between  two protagonists at one point in the film. The strong point of the movie is its story, which keeps the audience hooked with one turn and another. The performances of all the actors are tremendous, be it the new comer Sushant singh on his temperamental attitude or Raj kumar yadav (earlier films Ragini MMS, Talaash) with his Baniya attitude and Amit Sadh with his tough, non-talkative character.

Special mention of Manav kaul who plays bittu mama; one of the pivotal characters in the film, Manav is a personal friend and three cheers for him to pull of the character with so much maturity and amazing ease. Way to go bro.

Sadly for the film, the music could have been littlemore impact full, as music plays a very important role in the success of Bollywood films. Amrita purl is cute in her pari hu mian act and could not have asked for more in the film.

All in all, Kudos for Director Abhishek Kapoor for bringing an unconventional story with three new comers and letting offer the audience a different dish to taste. ‘Kai po che’ means “ I have cut the kite” in Guajarati. The film slightly manages to achieve that……….cut the kite of your entertainment quotient……!
