Kai Po Che Story

Kai Po Che movie is the daptation of Chetan Bhagat's best-selling novel "The 3 Mistakes of My Life". The film title Kai Po Che is a Gujarati phrase meaning "I Have Cut" which refers to a kite competition where one of the competitors uses his kite to cut off another competitors kite and yells "Kai Po Che!" However, 'Kai Po Che' is not three words, but two words 'Kaipo Che'. 'Kaipo' means 'cut'. splitting it into two words 'Kai Po' confuses, and does not immediately relate to the intended meaning. The movie portrays the journey of three friends as they discover cricket, religion and business in their respective fields. It is set against the backdrop of religious politics, the story underlines the three mistakes made by Govind. The film as well as the book is set in Gujarat, so the title Kai Po Che. The movie starts with the best friends Ishaan, Omi and Govind – young, ambitious and restless – are trying to make a mark in the India of the early 2000s. These are exciting times – a new millennium has just dawned, India's a nuclear power and ostensibly shining – a perfect place for the 3 Ahmedabad boys to start a business that could be their ticket to fame and riches. In a country where cricket is religion, they hit upon a brilliant plan – to start a training academy that could produce India's next sporting superstars! What follows is without doubt the greatest adventure of their lives, as they attempt to navigate the big hurdles in the path of fulfilling their dreams. Based on Chetan Bhagat's bestselling novel "The 3 Mistakes of My Life", Kai Po Che (meaning a triumphant yell in Gujarati) is an unforgettable ode to friendship and the magical moments one shares with one's closest pals – celebrating festivals, drunken dancing, watching cricket matches together, strategizing on how to catch the attention of the cute neighborhood girl, being there to watch each other's back in troubled times and to celebrate one's successes by screaming "Kai Po Che"!

Kai Po Che Critics Review

filmibeat.com
Over the years, Bollywood has churned out flicks on intense friendship, and time and again, this theme initiated a lot of interest and curiosity amongst the movie-buffs. The latest Bollywood release Kai Po Che, directed by Abhishek Kapoor, revives the bond of friendship in a way that it goes through varied emotions. Featuring debutant Sushant Singh Rajput, Rajkumar Yadav and Amit Sadh in the leads, Kai Po Che is the tale of three best buddies, who battle themselves and the world in pursuit of their dreams.

Story
Set against the backdrop of the Gujarat riots of a decade ago, Kai Po Che tells the story of three best friends - Ishaan Bhatt (Sushant Singh Rajput), Omkar Shastri (Amit Sadh) and Govind Patel (Rajkumar Yadav), who are trying to chase their dreams in the advent of the new millennium. This was a time when India's nuclear power was ostensibly shining - a perfect place for the three Ahmedabad boys to start a business that could be their ticket to fame and riches. In a country like that of ours, where cricket is a religion, they hit upon a brilliant plan to start a training academy that could produce India's next sporting superstars.

But, destiny plays cruel in the lives of three boys whose equations with each other are thrown into severe turmoil by calamitous event of the Godhra riots. This is when Ishaan, Omi and Govind struggle to keep their friendship intact, but on the other hand, their dreams are shattered as it pushes their grand plan of building a sports academy off the rails.
 
Positives
Kai Po Che is a refreshing tale of friendship, dreams and passion that might leave you with a mild dose of reality. The movie unravels the madness that the common citizen of the country has about cricket, cinema and politics, and the effects that it is making on the process of growth and the ethos of the country. There's no over-the-top, filmy, dramatic dialogues, instead, those in the film sound very realistic and genuine.

Performances
Director Abhishek Kapoor had once admitted that no leading Bollywood actor wanted to work in his film. And now we say, there shouldn't be any scope of regret over the casting of three new faces, as they have did total justice to their respective roles and the plot of the movie. Sushant Singh Rajput makes a brilliant and effortless debut with Kai Po Che. After a failed attempt in Maximum, this time, Amit Sadh makes it really big and convincing with his impressive performance as Omi in the film. On the other hand, Rajkumar Yadav is just outstanding and leaves you speechless with his superb acting skills.
