Appreciation thread - #Kaminey :

From the trailer to the setup in the first 3 minutes of the film, the eccentric characters were so fresh in this caper that they made us drench in their world like they were drenched in the Mumbai rains during the entire stretch of the story.

The idea of twin brothers weaved so freshly into parallel narratives where each one has a speech disorder was priceless. Also, both of them were diametrically opposite when it comes to handling a situation - Guddu the talker, Charlie the breaker. Brilliant @shahidkapoor

Bhope Bhau, played by Amol Gupta is one of the funniest brothers you will ever see, and yet carries an agenda so dark and relevant to Mumbai that you are torn between laughing and crying for the victims.

Tashi, a druglord who only speaks terrific one liners with a dashed sense of humor is one of the rarest pieces. His dialogues confuse and amuse you at the same time, which bodes completely with his charisma. Superb casting choice.

Lele and Lobo, the other set of brothers in the film is every 90s brother-pair. Full of energy, backing each other, and when the shit hits the ceiling and the parent shouting over their neck (here Tashi) abandoning each other in a second.

Mikhail, the best friend. Much before Md. Zeeshan Ayyub, @IamRoySanyal took the best friend of the protagonist to such a level that you end up hoping for a spinoff. Farafati Mikhail, farafati.

Inculcation of foreign agencies in an already twisted shit added another brilliant layer. Apparently (not sure), the idea was given by Cajetan who played Cajetan.

Takeaways: ambition, love, family, trust, betrayal, partnership. Nothing remains. Or may be some of it does. But at what cost? Are you able to fathom it? Yes?Congrats Charlie. No? No issues Guddu. O hey Sophia, you know anything about it? I mean, Fophia. 😊
