Sporting aspirations

Kai Po Che! (2013)

Directed by Abnishek Kapoor this film based on the novel “The 3 Mistakes of My Life” stars Sushant Singh Rajput, Asif Basra, Rajkummar Rao and Amrita Puri. Three friends open a sporting shop and academy for kids.

A lot of this film strays into cliché territory and some of the montages are a little overly sentimental but there is still some interesting stuff in this film. While the base story is somewhat less interesting the back drop does hint at the divides that still exist in Indian society along religious/political/class lines. The film is pretty well made even if it is a little over the top in places, it does not help matters that the film starts with a flash forward that pretty much takes away all suspense.


3/5
