Ever since the music of 'Kaminey' (lyrics by Gulzar, stalwart singers such as Mohit Chauhan, Rekha/Vishal Bharadwaj, Sikhwinder Singh and Sunidhi) I have been waiting to watch the movie but with some trepidation. Having read this review on rediff(and I haven't seen such a good review from Rediff in a long while), I was suitably convinced. We booked our tickets for a Saturday morning showing.

And what a ride it was.

I loved the pace of the movie, I loved the twists and turns, the innuendo, the characterization, the dialogues- just every piece of it that kept me on the hook listening, watching, waiting for the next scene and what develops. For that, I absolutely loved the movie. The storyline by itself might have been a very old and over-beaten one, but the delivery of it far outclasses anything else in the genre. Shahid has proved worth his mettle, Vishal Bharadwaj(as has been mentioned in many a review) proves to be India's Tarantino with just the right desi twist and PC is so in tune with her character that its hard to imagine its the same model that was cast in Fashion.

For a peek into the artsy directorial mind of Vishal Bharadwaj, go here.
