New Delhi: No film, with rank newcomers in its lead, has garnered so much interest in recent times like 'Kai Po Che!' has. And yet, not having an established star in the film has worked in its favour by giving it a freshness that is detached from from typical hindi films. Abhishek Kapoor's new film features three young and talented actors- Sushant Singh Rajput, Rajkumar Yadav and Amit Sadh, who play Ishaan, Govind and Omi and narrate the story of friendship in Ahmedabad during the turn of the century.
Brimming with hope to make a mark in the society, the three friends join hands to start a sports cum tuition centre in the old part of Ahmedabad. The film then explores the trials that the trio's friendship has to go through. Would Govind, Ishaan and Omi be able to cope with the changing times? Would their friendship falter due to the circumstances it faces? This forms the crux of the film. Based on Chetan Bhagat's bestseller 'The 3 Mistakes Of My Life', the film was extensively shot in Gujarat to give the film an authentic look.
Abhishek Kapoor's last outing as a director was Farhaan Akhtar- Arjun Rampal starrer 'Rock On!!' which established Akhtar's career as an actor and catapulted Arjun Rampal in the big league. Would 'Kai Po Che!' also work the same way for its lead actors? One will have to wait and watch.
The film's music, by the talented Amit Trivedi, has already been loved by one and all. The tracks seem to beautifully set the tone of the film- a story of hope, friendship and overcoming difficulties. Having earned rave reviews from international critics during its screening at the Berlin International Film Festival, the film is all set to be released today in India. Will it live up to its hype? Will the film industry get its new superstars in Rajput, Sadh and Yadav?
