Kai po che! (2013) Review by gops-s21 from India
Before watching "Kai Po Che!":
Me: Hey! Let's watch Kai Po Che.. A movie about Friendship,Forgiveness, Passion and..
Bro: wait.. yet another movie on 'friendship'! Another 3 idiots!Another Zindagi na milegi dobara... Come on! Don't you get tired ofwatching movies about same old stuff.. Can't we watch 'Die Hard'..?Yippee ki yay!
Me: No.. 'Die Hard' got bad reviews.. And seriously? Choosing 'DieHard' over 'Kai Po Che' is the dumbest thing that must have ever cometo your mind. Nopiee ki nay!
Bro: OK then.. let's go.. But we will watch Die hard after we are donewith Kai Po Che.. OK?
Me: OK. Cool.
The film:
The film title Kai Po Che is originally a Gujarati phrase that means "Ihave cut the kite" which refers to a kite competition where one of thecompetitors uses his kite to cut off another competitors kite and yells"Kai Po Che!"
Adapted from "The 3 Mistakes of my Life"(Chetan Bhagat) and Directed byAbhishek Kapoor (Rock On!!) this is a character driven film aboutfriendship, forgiveness, passion, love.. all in the backdrop of somereal events. The story mainly revolves around three friends, Ishaanplayed by Sushant Singh Rajput, Govind played by Raj Kumar Yadav andOmi played by Amit Sadh, who set out to open a sports training academy.
The Good:
A film about friendship is not a new thing in Bollywood. We havealready witnessed "3 Idiots", "Rock On", "ZNMD", "Dil Chahta Hai". "KaiPo Che" looks similar at first but peel off the layers and it's muchmore.
Adapted from a book titled "3 mistakes of my Life" this film is atightly scripted and crisply edited drama that never bogs down or dumbsdown for its audience and instead resorts to subtlety.
Playing with themes like dreams and aspirations, friendship standingtest of time, a commentary of our education system is not an easy taskand the director does an incredible job of weaving everything together.
Cinematographer Anay Goswamy has made look Gujrat so beautiful that Ifeel like taking a vacation and running off to that place for the Kitefestival. Also, music given by "Amit Trivedi" is refreshing especiallythe song "Manjha".
But it's the characters that drive this film and the three leads are arevelation here. Rajkumar Yadav, Amit Sadh and Sushant Singh Rajput notonly have a good screen presence but they can actually ACT! (Sorryabout me shouting and all.. but can't control my emotions right now)The actors have such great chemistry that it reminded me of my collegedays. These guys are not actors in this film. They ARE Govind Patel,Omkar Shastri and Ishaan Bhatt. And this is where this film hits it outof the park.
A capitalist money minded friend. A political friend. An emotional/daydreamer friend. These are people whom we have met somewhere at somepoint in our lives. These are people whom we can relate to and careabout.
The Bad: Not applicable.
Final verdict: Cricket, Love, Friendship, Passion, Politics.. It's allwhat India is about and it's something that any sane minded Indianwouldn't and shouldn't miss.
After watching "Kai Po Che!":
Bro: Damn you… (sniff)
Me: What! You didn't like it? (sniff)
Bro: My eyes are watery. It's so embarrassing! F***ing friendshipmovies… (sniff)
Me: Oh come on now! Since when did you start crying for a film (sniff)
Bro: Oh and why is there a bubble under your nose?
Me: I.. I got cold. (sniff..) OK.. So next Die Hard.. I'll go buy thetickets and then..
Bro: F*** Die Hard. Let's watch this again. (sniff)
Kai po che! (2013) Review by bharat047 from Mumbai
Set against the backdrop of the Gujarat riots of a decade ago, Kai PoChe tells the story of three best friends - Ishaan Bhatt (Sushant SinghRajput), Omkar Shastri (Amit Sadh) and Govind Patel (Rajkumar Yadav),who are trying to chase their dreams in the advent of the newmillennium. This was a time when India's nuclear power was ostensiblyshining - a perfect place for the three Ahmedabad boys to start abusiness that could be their ticket to fame and riches.
In a country like that of ours, where cricket is a religion, they hitupon a brilliant plan to start a training academy that could produceIndia's next sporting superstars. But, destiny plays cruel joke in thelives of three boys whose equations with each other are thrown intosevere turmoil by calamitous event of the Godhra riots. This is whenIshaan, Omi and Govind struggle to keep their friendship intact, but onthe other hand, their dreams are shattered as it pushes their grandplan of building a sports academy off the rails.
Positives : Kai Po Che is a refreshing tale of friendship, dreams andpassion that might leave you with a mild dose of reality. The movieunravels the madness that the common citizen of the country has aboutcricket, cinema and politics, and the effects that it is making on theprocess of growth and the ethos of the country. There's noover-the-top, filmy, dramatic dialogues, instead, those in the filmsound very realistic and genuine.
Verdict : Kai Po Che is an ode to true friendship. The movie workswonder on every sphere, say it brilliant acting, realistic plot orheart-touching dialogues. Hence, this one is sure to make a prominentplace to the year's Best film award nominations. So, go and grab yourtickets at the earliest and relish the beauty of the flick.
Ratings : 9/10 !!
Kai po che! (2013) Review by Somak Basu from India
There were times when our master storyteller Jeetendra's nephewAbhishek Kapoor was keen to make a dynamic debut as a hero inBollywood. Sadly that potential got beaten up badly. But what reallyworked wonders was rise of a dynamic director and storyteller AbhishekKapoor through his luminous work "ROCK ON!". It was no less than amasterpiece and also one of the best movies based on friendship inages. 'KAI PO CHE' is also another friendship movie where behind thestory and script is none other than Chetan Bhagat, one of the mostexceptional young writers in ages.
Though 'Hello', adapted from Bhagat's 'One Night @ The Call Center'didn't cast any magic on box-office, following one '3 Idiots', adaptedfrom his 'Five point Someone' is the highest grossing movie on box-office till date and most favorite to numerous people. Which showswell- handled direction can work more than wonders if a superb scriptis given. And, Chetan Bhagat novels are so distinguished that animposing script can be easily extracted from them. Though Hirani in 3Idiots added more humor and his own creativity, Abhishek Kapoor followsthe theme entirely of Bhagat's 'The 3 Mistakes Of My Life' andillustrates beautifully on screen as per demands of the script.
Though 'The 3 Mistakes Of My Life' is the most diverse story inked onnovel among other works by Bhagat, Abhishek Kapoor skillfully adds manystereotypical dimensions in the film which makes it even more beautifulthan the novel itself.
Friendship is such a wonderful genre that if you can present itbeautifully that one can't stop praising it. DIL CHAHTA HAI, RANG DEBASANTI, ROCK ON! to ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA have been remarkablejourneys so far. KAI PO CHE ushers itself in this wing.
But KAI PO CHE doesn't hold its boundary only around FRIENDSHIP. It's atale of unconditional friendship, endless love among themselves as ifthey hold under some brotherhood, it elucidates politics and portraitsthe illimitable passion for sports. But the movie depicts anunforgettable tale based on three real-life events that changed themain three protagonist's lives forever - a conducive cricket matchbetween India & Australia, Gujarat Earthquake and Godhra Massacre andRiots based on that. I'm just amazed at how a marvelous story is wovenunder these three real-life events and based on the story, thescreenplay is so well handled and composed by Pubali Chaudhuri,Supratik Sen, Abhishek Kapoor & Chetan Bhagat himself.
Kai Po Che is the story of three friends Govind (Rajkumar Yadav), Omi(Amit Sadh) & Ishaan (Sushant Singh Rajput). Govind aspires to become abig businessman one day, so he along with his two friends, encouragingtheir passion, opens a cricket goods and training shop. Everything wasgoing fine till the events that transpire against the backdrop of allthat occurred in the city during that time change the lives of each ofthe friends in very different ways.
Director Abhishek Kapoor yet again proves that he is a pedagoguestoryteller. His previous work ROCK ON! and KAI PO CHE may beharmonious is some shades but KAI PO CHE is much more emotional, hastoo many layers and strikes a chord among the middle class youngstersout there which is very hard to commit to. KAI PO CHE is not only justa simple story of three friends, it's a perfect depiction of the roleof society on the lives of the people living in outskirts. Plus,Abhishek Kapoor's brilliant storytelling completes it.
Amit Trivedi's short and soulful music adds special charm. "MANZA" and"MEETHI BOLIYAAN" are delightful to listen to even the film could haveeasily worked without any song. But the songs gleam the spirit of themovie in a very melodious way. Anay Goswami's cinematography is first-rate.
The three focal portions of the movie are exquisitely carried away bythe three youngsters. It's amazing that Abhishek took a risk bychoosing newcomers on such a introvert script but his clarity of visionhelped him make a superb decision by choosing them.
Sushant Singh Rajput's amazing potential, timing, acting skills andscreen presence astonishes me completely. He already has YRF and RajuHirani project in his pockets and no wonder why. Here rises an upcominghugely successful star, that can be clearly seen. Amit Sadh enacts hispart perfect. He can now come on focus of many talent seekers. RajkumarYadav enacts deliberately just like he did in his previous works. Hisrole in every movie has different shades but this talented actorcarries out skillfully every time.
Rest of the cast do their jobs perfectly. Amrita Puri, the lone leadinglady character in the movie aloof carries out her role amazingly. ManavKaul & Asif Basra are excellent. Digvijay Deshmukh aka Ali ismagnificent. Wish to see him in future more frequently.
There can be no end of praising KAI PO CHE. Throughout this wholereview, I failed to point out a single blemish in this fine piece ofwork. Every shot, every character, every moment in this movie is soflawless that one can't help being amazed at times. Films like KAI POCHE are as hard to make as hard not be flabbergasted at. It's anincandescent saga of friendship that transcends the boundaries ofpenchant.
Best Movie Of This Year So far. Strictly Recommended.
