Chameli

My Rating : 6/10

It's about two people who meet on a rainy night. One a carefree prostitute and the other a sad businessman.

Kareena Kapoor and Rahul Bose give great honest performances and the film works off their chemistry with each other and their differing backgrounds and viewpoint of life.

Touching story, a different kind of love but love it is...

I recently saw this movie and it actually turned out a pretty OK for a film.The first half of this movie was pretty boring but the second half turned out to be pretty good.This movie mostly tells about the story of a prostitute and knowing about the life of a prostitute was interesting and riveting.I also liked the interactions between Aman and Chameli and the relationship between them which was deep and subtle.I also like the realistic setting of this movie.The music was excellent with songs like Sajna Ve Sajna and Bhage Re Mann.Rahul Boses acting was simply brilliant.But the show stealer has to be Kareena who has given a simply flawless act as Chameli she got every thing of the character right be it the mannerisms,accent,look of the character.This movie is worth a watch for this who appreciates very realistic movies and it wont appeal to those who likes the masala movies

What worked:

• the movie is a linear narrative happened at one rainy night, and also cyclic as it brings back the layers of incidents from the past. It's a bold movie and it's a daring job for Kareena to take this role, maybe one of her rarest performances.

What did not work:

• I am not sure what's wrong with the movie. It's a well written, acted and directed movie. However for some reason, the movie fails to get the solid punch that this movie should and could have given. Maybe it's the pulse that's off track or it's the repetitive narrative that's been seen before. There is no denying it's a good movie but the overall impact for me is average.

Final verdict: recommended, at least for role portrayed by Kareena

Chameli, a movie based on a prostitute and an investment banker, is about a night that puts them under same roof accidentally. Fueled by Aman's no interest in going back to his empty house and Chameli's good heart, their journey continues till the morning. Chameli is a lady who tries to stay happy despite her muddy profession. The best part of the story is no out of sky feelings bumping in the main characters as assumed from a usual Bollywood drama. A simple friendship that makes the two abrasive without any predilection following from friendship and practically possible sacrifices forms the core of the movie.

I have seen this movie recently. And it seems to me that it is really different movie from typical bollywood films.

The script & direction of this movie is really brilliant and worth of praising. Rahul bosh as Aman Kapoor & bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor as Chameli played their roles successfully. Especially I recommend Kareena Kapoor for her wonderful acting in this movie as a prostitute named 'Chameli'.

I recommend this movie to watch who likes different type of films. I rate this movie 10/10. The movie is really excellent.
