Kaminey' takes Indian cinema beyond Tarantino |
|
New Delhi, Aug 23 (IANS)
Internationally acclaimed Indian filmmaker Shekhar
Kapur is quite impressed with Vishal Bharadwaj's "Kaminey"
and says the film "catapults Indian cinema in
modernity beyond (Quentin) Tarantino".
"The greatest thing about Vishal Bharadwaj's 'Kaminey'
is that you cannot work out why it is working. You
cannot work out why you are laughing amidst the
ugliness of violence in perhaps India's first real
dark comedy. And why in the final moments of the
film with the brilliant background song by Vishal
himself, you finally get the point of the film,"
Kapur posted on his blog www.shekharkapur.com.
 "With
violence all around you, you sense innocence caught
in the crossfire of unnecessary violence. And
finally you come away with a great sense of the
pointlessness of it all. It's terrific... Vishal
better think hard about how to surpass this one," he
added.
A thoughtful director himself, Kapur further
praised the technical aspects of the film that has
Shahid Kapoor in a double role.
"The cinematography (by Tassaduq Hussain) is great
as are some of the performances, the script and the
editing. It is ultimately a director's brilliant
vision of the world that is playing through," he
said.
The 63-year-old, however, didn't seem to be too
impressed with Bharadwaj's idea of making the lead
characters lisp and stammer in the film.
"Did Vishal have to use the idea of stuttering
and stammering with the main character though? It
was a little over done and the only thing that
harked to a more traditional form of comedy in
Indian films. The film could have done with a little
less of that," he wrote.
"Kaminey" is Bharadwaj's first commercial hit. It
earned about Rs.330 million in its first weekend at
the box office. |
