Acting: Shahrukh Khan played double role in this film and in both the character he was awesome, Rani Mukherjee was a show stopper role of lachchi suited her need not to say but she’s one of the best actress of Bollywood. Cameo of Amitabh Bachchan was crucial in this film and other actors was good in their respective roles.

Music: in terms of Music as the film is set up on Rajasthan, it had a rajasthani tone in the film few rajasthani wards are used in song, dheere jalna is the best song of this film, people still listen to it.

Direction by Amol Palekar and Screenplay of Sandhya Gokhale was awesome.

Why character actors does not get enough recognition as superstar in Btown? Kaamyab is based on this theme and it’s a fact that character actors/supporting cast rarely get any recognition or they get much later when the actors are about to retire. Let’s discuss today about “Har kisse ke hisse: Kaamyab”

Synopsis

“India mein engineer aur doctor se bhi zyada zaroorat hain achhe director ki” I felt that and it is one of the best dialogue in this film that’s what I think.

“kaamyab” is based on veteran actor sudheer(aka. Sanjay Mishra) who worked in 499 films and his desire is to make one more film which will be his 500th film in his career and this will become a record if this happens. Sudheer became very excited for this and he went for an audition where he met Gautam Gulati(aka. Dipak Dobriyal) a casting director. Sudheer and Gulati known to each other, Sudheer told about his dream to Gulati after which he promised Sudheer to launch him in next film and told him this is going big and best film ever, Gulati kept his promise to launch Sudheer in large scale film and this happened Gulati brings a best role for Sudheer. Next day Sudheer shared his excitement of his 500th film to his daughter Bhavna(Ruchika Singh) who was married lives with her husband and child in some other place of Mumbai. Bhavna was very disappointed for his father’s decision as Sudheer promised her that he will not work in films further. Why?? Here comes a twist that you’ll get to know after you watch the film. (available on Netflix)

Sudheer got his good days back, he did dubbing for many films on behalf of other actors and his competitor Avatar Gill(Avtar Gill) very popular. In comparison Avatar Gill was much successful than Sudheer. The day finally came in Sudheer’s life his dream was about to come true he reached shooting spot he got costume and he got a personal makeup man who did his makeup in his early days, he got a call from director to present near as they were getting late for shoot. Will Sudheer be able to prove his talent once again?? Will he able to complete his 500th film?? Will he able to get public recognition??

Hardik Mehta’s Direction and screenplay is marvellous. In terms of acting Sanjay Mishra is a show stopper his mind blowing acting will surely make audience emotional, Dipkal Dobriyal, Isha Talwar and other actors were good in their respective characters. Kaamyab is worth to watch for all movie lovers. Do watch the film Available on Netflix

I won’t give any stars or rating to any film because it’s not a review.
