(Redirected from Kai po che)

Kai Po Che!: Brothers... For Life (transl. I have cut the kite) is a 2013 Indian Hindi-language buddy sports drama film directed by Abhishek Kapoor and produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur under UTV Motion Pictures, marking the banner's first solo production under the Disney·UTV brand. Adapted from Chetan Bhagat's 2008 novel The 3 Mistakes of My Life,[3] with a three-song soundtrack by Amit Trivedi and lyrics by Swanand Kirkire, the film stars Rajkummar Rao, Amit Sadh, and newcomer Sushant Singh Rajput as the three main protagonists while Amrita Puri plays the female lead.[4][5] The title is originally a Gujarati phrase that means "I have cut" which refers to Makar Sankranti (known as Uttarayan in Gujarat) where one of the competitors uses his kite to cut off another competitor's kite and yells the phrase.[6][7]

Set in Ahmedabad from 2000 to 2012, Kai Po Che! revolves around three friends, Ishaan "Ish" Bhatt (Rajput), Omkar "Omi" Shastri (Sadh) and Govind "Govi" Patel (Rao), who want to start their own sports shop and sports academy; the film also revolves around the 2001 Gujarat earthquake, the 2002 Godhra train burning and the 2002 Gujarat Riots. The film tracks their deep friendship, and innocence tarnished by religious politics and communal hatred. The film had its world premiere at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival on 13 February 2013 where it was the first ever Indian film to feature in the World Panorama section.[8][9][10][11]

Made on a budget of ₹300 million (US$3.6 million), Kai Po Che! was released worldwide on 22 February 2013 and met with acclaim from Indian reviewers, with praise for the direction of Kapoor and the performances of Rajput, Rao, and Sadh, but mixed reviews internationally. [12][13] The film grossed ₹830 million (US$9.9 million) worldwide, becoming a critical as well as commercial success.[2] The film received five nominations at the 59th Filmfare Awards, including Best Director for Kapoor, Best Supporting Actor for Rao, and Best Story. The film won two awards, including Best Screenplay for Kapoor and Best Background Score for Hitesh Sonik.

Plot

edit

The film begins with Govind Patel in 2012 giving a presentation at a school about the services provided by his sports club. Omkar "Omi" Shastri, in a parallel scene, is released from prison and Govind picks him up. While halting at a restaurant mid-way, Govind and Omi reminisce about their lives ten years ago, and remember their friend Ishaan.

Ten years ago

edit

Ishaan "Ish" Bhatt is an ex-district level cricketer. Omi is the nephew of a Hindu politician, Bishakh "Bittu" Joshi, who funds his father's temple, and Govind has a penchant for business and numbers. Together they open a sports shop and a cricket training academy.

Ish asks Govind to tutor his sister younger Vidya in maths for her upcoming end-of-school exams. Vidya and Govind gradually become close to each other and develop a romantic relationship. Upon learning this, Omi warns Govind of the consequences, as Ish is very protective of his sister.

The three friends spot Ali Hashmi, who has a rare talent for cricket, and Ish starts training him vigorously. Govind wants to expand the budding business by opening a shop in a mall. With financial help coming from Bittu, the trio set up shop in the mall, but on 26 January 2001, a destructive earthquake hits Gujarat and the mall is destroyed. Omi is forced to work for Bittu's right-wing party, and is unable to return to the shop.

Ish leads a group of Muslims, including Ali and his father, to the relief camps set up by Bittu's party. When they are turned away, Ish and Omi fight and temporarily break off their friendship. They reunite after India's surprise win in the test match against Australia on 15 March 2001. Bittu loses the elections in his constituency to his opponent Subodh Mehta, who is supported by Ali's father Naseer Hashmi, a local Muslim leader. In response, Bittu sends pilgrims (kar sevaks) to Ayodhya to the Ram Temple, including Omi's parents. On 27 February 2002, they learn that the train coach carrying the pilgrims was burned resulting in the deaths of 59 people. Omi is shattered, and Bittu convinces him to take revenge on the murderers of his parents.

Ish attempts to take Ali away to protect him from the imminent communal riots, and Govind goes to Ali's house to help Ish. The mob led by Bittu storms into the Muslim locality, killing every Muslim in sight. A fight ensues between Naseer and Bittu. Omi, enraged at Bittu's death, follows him with a gun. Meanwhile, Ish learns of Vidya and Govind's relationship. Enraged, he thrashes Govind, while Omi enters the premises with a gun in hand, desperate to find and kill Ali and Naseer. Ish and Govind hurriedly try to stop Omi as he desperately searches for Ali and Naseer. Omi finally aims and shoots at Ali and Naseer. In a bid to save Ali, Ish takes the bullet himself and dies.

Present day

edit

Omi is released from prison. Govind and Vidya are married and have a son, whom they have named Ishaan. Vidya forgives Omi when he breaks down in front of her. The film ends with a now grown-up Ali debuting for the Indian cricket team against Australia. He plays his first shot by hitting the ball to the boundary with a cover drive, just like Ish had taught him. Ish's spirit smiles at Ali's achievement and fades away.

India

edit

Sukanya Verma for Rediff.com gave 4/5 stars and says Abhishek Kapoor's clarity of vision makes Kai Po Che!, the adaptation of a mediocre novel, so irresistible.[38] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave it 4 out of 5 and stated that the film is brimming with solid content.[39] Meena Iyer of The Times of India gave it 4 out of 5 stars saying, "Kai Po Che! is very likeable. Between tears, you find yourself smiling, because it's the story of friendship and human triumph above all else."[40] Resham Sengar of Zee News gave 4/5 stars stating, "The magic of the film lies in its details!"[41] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave 3.5 stars saying, "Kai Po Che! is a competently crafted, well acted and consistently engaging drama that makes its point without sinking into preachy paroxysms".[42] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 3.5/5 stars adding, "Abhishek Kapoor uses Kai Po Che! as an apt metaphor and crafts a lovely, emotional film on abiding friendship and the values that make life worth living."[43] India Today gave 3.5 stars.[44]

Khalid Mohamed of Deccan Chronicle gave 3 out of 5 stars and stated that it is a good film.[45] Deccan Herald stated that it is a warm film[46] while Live Mint said that Kai Po Che! is a well-crafted entertainer.[47] Anupama Chopra of Hindustan Times gave the movie 4 out of 5 stars saying that "Kai Po Che! is Gujarati for "I've cut". It is used as a cry of victory in kite-flying contests. Here victory is hard-earned and tinged with tears and regret. But it's also deeply satisfying."[48] Rajeev Masand of IBN Live gave the movie 4/5 stars saying that "It's only February, but one of the year's best films has arrived".[49] The Hindu stated that the film is breathless.[50]

Overseas

edit

The film is rated 78% 'fresh' on the review site Rotten Tomatoes.[13] Critic Aaron Hillis of The Village Voice gave a negative review, stating that "The dramatic stakes are so puny that every obstacle can be overcome with a simple work-it-out montage, a cheap device prevalent enough in this movie to start a drinking game."[51] Rachel Saltz of The New York Times wrote that the film "Mixes, not quite successfully, traditional Bollywood storytelling with something less conventional."[52] Kate Taylor of The Globe and Mail wrote that the film "might be the next Bend It Like Beckham – if it did not have the sensibilities of the next Dr. Zhivago."[53] Bruce Demara of the Toronto Star gave the a positive review of film 3.5 out of 4 stars. Through starting by criticizing the lengthy amount of Cricket portrayed in the film (which he describes as "a game that remains mystifying to North American audiences"), this aspect does not prevent Bruce from giving a Kai Po Che! a favorable review. He first praises the acting as what "makes film succeed – and occasionally soar", further describing it as "finely etched performances" with a "very fine cast". He further compliments the cinematography, stating that it shows "an India of contrasts, both sun-baked rural landscapes and chaotic urban scenes." He also states that the cinematography had "fine attention to detail" that provides the film "an air of authenticity". He then states that despite the film being 2-hour, the audience is "soon engaged and deeply invested in" it. He concludes his review by stating that even audiences with little knowledge of recent Indian history or the complexities of cricket "are going to find Kai Po Che a poignant and satisfying experience."[54]

Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times gave it a positive review, criticizing the film for its grimness and lack of subtlety, but complimenting the performances as "enjoyably boisterous", as well as complimenting the director Abhishek Kapoor for refusing to "linger on clichés for too long".[55] Deborah Young of The Hollywood Reporter complimented the film for leaving the traditional Bollywood formula, by "boldly plunge[ing] into two major historical events: the 2001 earthquake that killed 18,000 people and... the violent Hindu-Muslim clashes of 2002." She also states that the Hindu-Muslim riot scene and subsequent reconciliation transforms the film into a "powerful drama" that "allows audiences to leave the theater with a tear in the eye". She later compliments the actors as "well cast" and praises the film's cinematography.[56] Priya Joshi of the Digital Spy gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, describing the film as an "intimate story of friendship, ambition, love, loss and redemption. She further praises the film's storytelling, scripting, and cinematography as "cornerstones to this film", while complimenting the acting and characterization. She also praised the film's storyline, describing the tension of the rising action as a "shattering crescendo" by the climax. Her concluding message further commends the film: stating "thought-provoking, moving and ultimately heart-warming, Kai Po Che! is what great cinema is made of".[57]

Russell Edwards of Special Broadcasting Service gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars, introducing the film as "a hallmark of a well-made film is the way it can make you care about things you really care little about." He compliments the film for interlacing the film's narrative threads with real events, and concludes by stating the acting as "strong throughout".[58] Daniel Eagan of the Film Journal International complimented the film, praising its authenticity by mentioning that it had moved "beyond Bollywood stereotypes to a new style of Indian cinema", further stating that the film "could attract an audience outside India". He praised the use of real situations mixed with the film's narrative, particularly complimenting the film's focusing on the character development during the events rather than overuse of special effects. He appreciated the film's use of "universal themes", and praised the way India was portrayed; describing this narrative on India as "on brink of the future, and yet still divided by wealth and poverty, by class and religion". He likewise admired the acting of the film, stating that all of the main characters "give strong performances". He completes his review by stating "this is a film whose scope, detail and appealing characters deserve a wide audience."[59]
