KAMINEY...DIRECTED BY VISHAL BHARADWAJ.

There was a lot going for Kaminey even before the promos began airing. It was a film directed by Vishal Bharadwaj whom i have regard for...'coz there is a certain sincerity in his film making. His previous works Maqbool and Omkara were examples of that trait.
Add to that the title- Kaminey! was proof enough that here again was something that was dictated by the characters and script and held so true for the world in general when comes a moment where everybody around seems precisely that- A Kamina! For the first time someone was going to capture that thought with brutal openness.
Then came the promos and i saw- Dhan Te Dhan!! I was blown by the thought and energy of the song!! Again here was something that had been missed by so many before... a sound that accompanied so many script and scene narrations was turned around herein into a chart buster!!
However as i waited for the movie to begin in the cinema halls i had wiped my mind of all the awed baggage and thus witnessed and experienced the next couple of hours plus of story telling with an open mind. I liked it.
What was noteworthy was how a certain atmosphere was created through the story such that you felt in the same space as the characters..may it be the brightness of the day or the darkness of terror and gloominess of trouble...i felt i was a part of it. The performances were satisfying and the back ground score was amazing. Usage of old songs at a few points gave it a very different and chilling grip.
Its definately a must watch to witness a gutsy and sincere story told in a very sincere manner.
