"Kai Po Che" is a Gujarati phrase which mean "I have cut the kite". This movie is adapted from Chetan Bhagat's novel " 3 Mistakes of my life' which I couldn't motivate myself to read ( you guessed it...I am not a Bhagat fan). I began watching this movie with some skepticism but it turned out to be quite likable.
This movie is about three friends,Ishaan (Sushant Singh Rajput), Omi (Amit Sadh) and Govind (Raj Kumar Yadav) who are typical today's Indian youth and live in Ahmadabad. The three of them are as different as chalk and cheese - Govind is serious and cautious, Omi does not have a mind of his own and is easily influenced and Ishaan, is an idealist and passionate about cricket. In spite of the difference they are well bonded and together they manage to start a sports academy with Govind taking charge of running the business, Omi supporting with the capital investment (courtesy his politician uncle) and Ishaan managing the coaching center. Ishaan finds a star cricketer in a emaciated muslim boy called Ali. Omi joins his uncle in politics and Govind falls in love with Vidya( Amrita Puri), Ishaan's sister. Every thing is going well with the boys when all hell breaks loose in the form of the devastating earthquake ( Bhuj earthquake of 2001) followed by the communal riots ( Godhra Roits ). The boys friendships is tested and life changes for all of them.
Verdict :- 7 out of 10. Abhishek Kapoor has done a decent job of this movie and you are unlikely to be bored.
