A dark action comedy about twin brothers who are sucked into a world of drugs, guns and money.

Beware Mosebaer - Ask your seller!
This is my second stab at this review, since Amazon, for whatever random reason, did not approve my previous review.I am making another attempt, as I believe my comments will be extremely useful to customers buying this item.Before you purchase "Kaminey" or any other feature film from India, verify with your seller that it is not distributed by Moserbaer!I purchased this DVD, believing it to be the UTV version, as the seller included the notation "original company releases" in their product details, and UTV is the original company that produced "Kaminey".Instead, much to my disgust, the seller sent me the Moserbaer version. Why disgust? Let me tell you:This DVD - and, as I have learned, most product from Moserbaer - features:* A large "Moserbaer" watermark in the upper left-hand corner of the screen - this watermark remains throughout the entire movie. Since "Kaminey" has an aspect ratio of 2.39:1, when letterboxed on a standard 4:3 television screen, this watermark takes up quite a bit of screen space. And, if that weren't enough . . .* Large footers, much like those on commercial/cable television networks, pop up frequently throughout the movie to advertise Moserbaer's website. They even pop up during action scenes.I will never buy one of the Moserbaer DVDs again.What I don't understand is how these people think such ad pollution will draw traffic to their business; on the contrary, it drives traffic away from their business. Who wants to continue ordering DVDs when they are filled with this junk?

Excellent movie, but don't buy this version
Excellent movie, but don't buy this version. Video and audio qualities are poor, bottom of the screen is cropped and there's no way to turn the subtitles off.

This is the first dramatic role that I have seen ...
This is the first dramatic role that I have seen Shaid Kapoor act in after seeing Jab We Met and Vivah. What a treat! I can see the influences of Pulp Fiction, Snatch, and Get Shorty. Gritty. Watch it!

Not such Kamineys after all
I tried watching it as "pay-per-view" in 2009. Could not endure it and switched the TV off without wtching the whole movie. Watched it again yesterday - this time a DVD and I actually liked the movie. Moral of the story - replay a work of art in the format in which the creator intends you to.

A fine caper...
Dark, gritty, humorous and 'two smoking barrels'. Not what I was expecting but all the better as I was bemused, confused and generally entertained for the entire film. Awesome soundtrack too.

Ungleiche Brüder
Vorweg an alle die Lieder und Tanzeinlagen in Bollywoodfilmen hassen: Hier gibt es kaum davon. Die Musik wird eher wie in Hollywood im Background eingesetzt. So läuft Musik in einer Disco, während einer Hochzeitsfeier usw. Da wird auch schonmal bissl gezappelt, aber bunte Einlagen auf dem Marktplatz sucht man hier vergebens. Was dem Film aber keinen Abbruch tut.Shahid spielt hier eine Doppelrolle. Hab ich ihm im Vorfeld nicht wirklich zugetraut, aber er hat mich eines Besseren belehrt. Er macht es perfekt! Der böse Charlie und der naiv-schüchterne Guddu.Zur Story:Guddu stottert und ist mit der süßen Sweety zusammen. Er arbeitet für eine Nichtregierungsorganisation und betreibt Aufklärung über Aids und Verhütung. Ironischerweise wird seine Freundin schwanger, da sie kein Kondom benutzten. Guddu möchte das Kind weder abtreiben, noch will er Sweety heiraten, da er einen gezielten Plan für sein Leben hat und ein Kind jetzt so gar nicht passt. Er heiratet Sweety trotzdem, weil sie ihm offenbart, dass ihr Bruder ein gefährlicher Gangster ist und ein uneheliches Kind nicht dulden würde.Guddus Zwillingsbruder Charlie hingegen lispelt und arbeitet als Geldeintreiber und Ganove. Er träumt von einem eigenen Wettbüro, lässt sich aber auf krumme Geschäfte ein. Eines Tages geht ein Deal schief und er bekommt ernsthafte Probleme, ein Koffer voller Drogen ist daran nicht ganz unbeteiligt.Wenn die beiden verhassten Brüder auch getrennte Leben führen, so laufen sie sich schließlich doch noch über den Weg und geraten immer tiefer in den Schlamassel.Dies ist kein typischer Gute-Laune-Bollywoodfilm. Und genau darum mochte ich Kaminey so. Leider bleiben die Charaktere teils etwas distanziert und das Drehbuch hat einige Schwächen, aber ich hab dennoch mitgefiebert und mich stets gut unterhalten gefühlt.

The movie itself is awesome, very different from other Indian films.There's a scene playing in the background during the main menu of the DVD. (It's raining. A person is sitting on ground on road, and he shoots someone who's lying in front of him. ) That scene never comes during the film.The scene isn't even there in deleted scene section. So, I was bit disappointed.
