It’s refreshing to see that more and more rooted and true-to-life films are being made. The films are shot in real locales of the Indian hinterland and the actors give more than hundred percent while portraying convincing and realistic characters. From Kashmir to Delhi to Kerela to Kolkata to UP to Bihar to Bhopal to Rajasthan to, not to forget, the Punjab – many beautiful places of India got a place in our films and, at times, the regions were considered as one of the principle characters. Somehow, Gujarat and its vibrancy were ignored. But now, director Abhishek Kapoor attempts to bring it alive on celluloid with Kai Po Che, which is adapted from Chetan Bhagat’s terrific novel ‘The 3 Mistakes Of My Life’. There are films that rightly seem like winners from their first trailer itself. Kai Po Che fits into the category and fulfills all expectations! A must see!

It revolves around 3 friends and their complex relationships with each other. Each of us has a specific goal in life and we keep moving towards it. But we never realize when circumstances get us entwined amongst the complexities that we forget what our goals were. The Bhuj earthquake followed by the Godhra carnage wreak havoc in their lives. 

The entire depiction of their bonding and their differences makes it worth going miles for. The climax will surely get you to shed a tear. 

The movie does tend to lose grip intermittently but it covers lost ground in the finale. The background score is decent. The lesser known lead actors however steal the show. Sushant Singh is a notch above the rest. 

The entire movie experience was enhanced by the truly majestic seating comfort at the Ebony lounge at Metro Big Cinemas. You would want to watch every film in this 180• zone henceforth.

If you have missed Kai Po Che in its first week, make sure you catch up with it this weekend.
Kudos, Abhishek Kapoor.

“Together we shared a bond not even death would violate".
