Abhishek Kapoor who had stormed Bollywood with
the National Award winning film ‘Rock On’ is back with his latest film
‘Kai Po Che’. This film is based on the bestseller ’3 Mistakes of my
life’ by Chetan Bhagat and this film stars newcomers Sushant Singh
Rajput and Amit Sadh alongwith Raj Kumar Yadav in the lead roles. The
film is scheduled to release on 22nd February and we are pleased to
bring you the movie’s review much in advance. So let’s see how Kai Po
Che is.
Story:
Ishaan (Sushant Singh
Rajput), Omi (Amit Sadh) and Govind (Raj Kumar Yadav) are best friends
from Ahmadabad who share strong bond of brotherhood. Ishaan is a
notorious lad and a cricket genius who eats drinks, sleeps and dreams
only of cricket. Omi is the disciplined son of a priest who likes his
own space even in the company of his friends while Govind is a pure
businessman and a math scholar who thinks of nothing apart from
money.
One fine day, Govind falls in love with
Ishaan’s progressive sister Vidya (Amrita Puri) and takes care to keep
their relationship under wraps from everyone. Soon, the trio starts
their own sports academy with some financial help from Omi’s politician
uncle.
Everything goes smoothly until a huge
earthquake rocks Ahmadabad and this is soon followed by a Hindu-Muslim
riot that destroys their dreams. This tragic upheaval also causes a
major conflict between the three friends and the rest of the film is how
the trio overcomes their problems, more importantly will they remain
true to each other and fulfill their big
dreams.
Plus Points:
We have come across earlier movies on
male bonding such as ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, ‘Rang De Basanti’ and ‘3 Idiots’;
however, ‘Kai Po Che’ promises and delivers flawlessly. Speaking of
performances in this movie, we can say all the actors have given their
100% to make this film a heartwarming one. The movie doesn’t make one
realize that this is Sushant Singh Rajput’s debut in Bollywood since he
gives a grueling performance in the intense scenes and shows off his
comic timing in the fun sequences. Amit Sadh is another debutante who
delivers a surprising performance in the film and is absolutely
disciplined in the first half and equally intense in the
second.
Raj Kumar Yadav who has already known for his
good performances in earlier outings manages to give his best with this
one. The actor plays out business-minded lad outstandingly while his
innocence and discomfited passionate shots that are the most charming.
Amrita Puri plays a bubbly progressive girl with ease and she is only
predominant female presence in the film.
Other
impactful characters include Bittu Mama, Omi’s politically driven uncle,
and Ali, Ishaan’s gifted student, who have fleshed out their characters
well.
Minus Points:
There is not much to talk about in this
section and all we can say is that love sequences between Govind and
Vidya were a little over-the-top and could have been more interestingly
portrayed. Some of the sequences between the friends seem to be inspired
from other Bollywood films like ‘Rang De Basanti’ and ’3 Idiots’. Also,
Kai Po Che does not have the standard popcorn or masala entertainment
quotient of regular Bollywood
flicks.
Technical Analysis:
There are just three songs in the entire
movie which ensure that you rarely get a chance to take your eyes off
the screen. ‘Manja’ clearly explains the bond between the three friends,
whereas ‘Shubhaarambh’ and ‘Meethi Boliyan’ connect well with the
screenplay instead of acting as speed-breakers. The music is by Amit
Trivedi set to lyrics by Swanand Kirkere and this will definitely have a
lasting impact on the audiences.
The screenplay by
Abhishek Kapoor and Chetan Bhagat proves to be both appealing and
impactful. Deepa Bhatia’s editing is engaging and keeps the flow
engaging. While the first half of the film depicts fun and bonding
between the buddies, the second part is equally interesting with all the
ups and downs in their respective lives which are interconnected
amongst them.
The climax is thought-provoking and
will last a lasting effect even after you exit the theatres. Anay
Goswamy’s cinematography completely captures the spirit of the film.
Director Abhishek Kapoor hits the bulls eye again as he makes Chetan
Bhagat’s novel look better in every way. He stews a heady concoction of
cricket, politics, romance and brotherhood in the movie and comes up
with a balanced dish of all the
elements.
Final Verdict:
Overall, ‘Kai Po Che’ is a film which is
written, directed and acted supremely well. Stunning performances,
amazing story telling and some simple and realistic emotions make you
connect intensely with the film. Kai Po Che will surely go on to win a
lot of accolades and awards in Bollywood and is a film which is a must
watch for everyone.
