KAMINEY is a
story about a pair of twins - Charlie and Guddu (played
by Shahid Kapur). The twins who have grown up in the
streets of Mumbai, can't stand the sight of each other.
They are as different as chalk and cheese but have a
common speech problem. While Guddu stammers, Charlie
Charlie lisps and his speech deficiency is that he
pronounces the S sounds with an F sound.
The twins are completely different and have captivating
identities. Charlie dreams of finding a short cut to
fortune, and works for a betting syndicate. Charlie bets
big - Rs. 1 lakh on a horse during a fixed race, only to
be double-crossed by the jockey and loses the money. The
other brother Guddu is sincere and is involved with an
NGO.
The climax
is set in a Mumbai `basti’ or a place somewhat like the
refined slum. This basti turns wild with awful violence
that the gun-battle is raging with each and every single
`kamina’ ending up gathering in the basti in the climax
scene that its just violence, gunshots and too much
noise.
Dhan Te Nan – the number is rage of the town. Its
rendered by Sukhwinder Singh, Vishal Dadlani, Pehli Baar
Mohabbat by Mohit Chauhan and Raat Ke Dhai Baje Suresh
Wadkar, Rekha Bhardwaj, Sunidhi Chauhan, Kunal Ganjawala
Kaminey has a new and unique style of story telling and
it could very well set a new trend in Bollywood cinema.
Cinematic excellence at its best.

One fateful rainy night, their carefully separated lives
cross paths. Charlie gets mixed up in a deathly
get-rich-quick scheme, while Guddu realizes that the
love of his life Sweety (Priyanka Chopra) has
unwittingly put a price on his head. Sweety is a strong
willed Marathi ‘mulgi’ – a Maharashtrian girl – whose
brother is a rugged local politician Sunil Shekhar Bhope
(Amole Gupte).
It's a dark comic ride here onwards as the brothers are
sucked into a world of drugs, guns and money.
Their lives collide head on with gangsters, rebel
soldiers, rogue politicians and crooked cops. In the
middle of this crazy adventure, the brothers have to run
to protect themselves, their dreams and their love...
And most importantly, they realize that all they have is
each other.
Other `kamineys’ (meaning Scoundrels) appear one after the
other. Tashi the gangster (Tenzing Nima), with his cheroot
and fancy yatch. A trio of Bengali brothers who fix races
(Deb Mukherjee being the eldest). Local hood Bhope Bhau,
lover of Marathi `manoos’. Crooked cops fronting a huge
drug deal. A guitar full of white powder worth crores. The
director has immaculately etched out the peculiarities of
each of these kaminey or the bad men.
