Kai po che

Cast: Sushant Singh Rajput, Raj Kumar Yadav, Amit Sadh, Digvijay Deshmukh, Amrita Puri
Director: Abhishek Kapoor
Genre: Drama

 

Good luck strikes, that Chetan Bhagat's stories always finds the right directors. Without much of any critcism and loosing yourself in the book to movie translation, its a declared success. You shouldnt miss this one

 

Pluses:

• The story is not ditto copied from the book as it is, missing some relevant situations here and there and adding some more, written more from an angle to suit the needs of a movie maker. Very much acceptable
• This was a Debut for Sushant Singh Rajput, foraying to big screens from small screens. However, all the three characters were equally important, but he was a given some special screening always as the lead. Congratulation to Sushant for the big leap and very convincing as 'Ishaan'...impulsive, over expressive and a die hard friend
• We have seen Raj Kumar Yadav quite a few times before in uncontemporary movies. He always is given roles which has a lot of dirty spat on his characters, this one on the other hand was very different. He very well does justice to the role of a money minded businessman. However, his role from the beginning to end has the same shade, less opportunity to perform as compared to the others, but nevetheless worth appreciable
• Amit Sadh, does a good job as well, expressions perfect everywhere..right from the time he was nothing to someone who became a political pivot. Well played 'Omi'
• Digvijay Deshmukh, as 'Ali', needs a mention as well as he was one of the major driving characters of the movie. Very beautifully played though he never changed much of his expression throughout :D One grumpy kid
• Tale of three friends inspired from the writings of Chetan Bhagat comes alive on the big screens, when you identify each one of them and the situations and realise, that the way you would have imgained the characters the environment and ambience of Gujrat while reading the story are not very different from how Abhishekh Kapoor has put it across. And that makes the experience complete
• Second half is particularly good. When there are a lot of events happening one following the other and tests the bad times of each fren to one another
• Amrita Puri, is the only female character in the story. And she was pretty and good at the roleplay for 'Vidya'
• I cannot miss a most well deserved applaud to Amit Trivedi for the music of the film. Beautiful and resonating sountracks. Gujrati flavor with melodies and very good implementation of bass.
• And so were the videos of the songs, beautiful light and well shot in wide angles

  

Minuses:

 

Now since you already know the reviews for the movie, you may not find the first half any exciting. It just goes on and on at a monotonous pace, They didnt loose much time in introducing the characters but yet there was so no punch in the first half

 

 

My rating: 3.5/5
