5.0 out of 5 stars Must See, October 14, 2009

Director Vishal Bhardwaj--best known for his film adaptations of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' ('Maqbool') and 'Othello' ('Omkara')--breaks new ground in Bollywood with his latest creation: a violent, convoluted, Tarantino-esque trip through the mean streets of Mumbai--stellar soundtrack and all. But the Bard's influence is still apparent in Bhardwaj's work, particularly in the double role played by Shahid Kapoor, that of twins--a symbol of fragmented identity as common in Indian films as it is in Shakespeare's plays--and here the brothers, Charlie and Guddu, are at odds with themselves as well as each other. Kapoor sheds his trademark boyishness and transforms into two rugged, world-weary men--both broken in their own unique way, both in need of redemption. Charlie fixes horse races but loses everything when a jockey double-crosses him. Guddu does street theater with his girlfriend Sweety--who is anything but--to promote AIDS awareness. Played by a de-glammed Priyanka Chopra (who will surely win awards for her performance), Sweety is as indomitable as her crooked family and she bulldozes Guddu into getting her pregnant and marrying her. The estranged brothers both get into trouble with the mob and only they can extricate each other from the desperate mess their lives have become. - The Bollywood Ticket: The American guide to Indian movies (Subscribe: The Bollywood Ticket)

I tried watching it as "pay-per-view" in 2009. Could not endure it and switched the TV off without wtching the whole movie. Watched it again yesterday - this time a DVD and I actually liked the movie. Moral of the story - replay a work of art in the format in which the creator intends you to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Very Fexy!, October 1, 2009

This review is from: Kaminey (DVD)

You can't believe how much anticipation I had for this movie(I loved Awarapan, also a gangster movie). This movie passed each expectation. Amazing songs(especially the title track and Dhan Te Nan), enthralling action, mind-blowing story, shocking performances(in a good way), and an ecstatic execution through and through. Shahid's performance along with Priyanka's, Amole Gupte's and everyone's performace make me speechless. They all fit in their roles. Shahid as Charlie steals the show. Priyanka looked her best in Dostana, but she looks angelic with no makeup(and still hot).

What I liked about the movie:
Shahid, Priyanka, Amole, action, run-out of the mill songs(especially the ones mentioned above), photography BEST FILM OF THE YEAR. MY FAVORITE BOLLYWOOD MOVIE EVER.

What I didn't like about the movie:
Too short, like Awarapan. Come on, 135 minutes? What about 150, at least?!
