Movie Review: Kai Po Che…blown away!!

 

There’s no better way to say it – just book your tickets right away. It is rare that one gets treated to a movie of such quality and Kai Po Che is a winner all the way through. Across the comfortable 120 minutes you get to watch this piece of high quality cinema you are bound to experience a range of emotions, not all of them cheerful (and maybe even that lump in the throat sensation), yet when you emerge from the hall satisfaction is writ large all over your face – that’s the kind of impact this movie makes

Based on a rather mediocre novel by Chetan Bhagat, Kai Po Che lifts the story to new heights and the kite soars much farther than your expectations. A great deal of credit for this must go to the director – Abhishek Kapoor. Stunningly crafted, the pace of the movie never slackens and some scenes have that stamp of directorial class about them.

While one initially gets the feeling that character development was weak, such thoughts are quickly dismissed as the director loosens the string and allows the kite the freedom to chart its own journey. The plot simply flows as does your concern for the main characters, their friendship and well-being. Subtle scenes and the absence of any music/ sound deliver a far more shattering impact than most movies which rely on tumultuous background score to make their point. Certain scenes/ plot developments are tweaked just that bit, which catapult them to a new level than the ordinary predictable stuff. Abhishek Kapoor announced himself with Rock On and with this even more refined offering he will definitely be one to watch out for

To add to the kudos, despite mostly being in debut roles, the star cast put in a commendable performance. Sushant Singh Rajput showed great screen presence for a debutante and the others, Raj Kumar Yadav and Amit Sadh also played their role very well. Amrita Puri as the love interest wasn’t as impressive but to be fair, her character didn’t give him much room to perform. There isn’t too much of the song and dance routine as well and the little there is moves in-step with the plot

Simply put, Kai Po Che is beautifully crafted and watching a movie like this can never count as a ‘mistake in your life’ so go book your tickets right away
