Drama
Three inseparable friends -- Omi, Ishaan, and Govind -- decide to pursue their passion for cricket by opening a store that sells sports equipment. However, tragedy strikes in the form of the 2001 Gujarat earthquake and the 2002 Godhra riots. Will their friendship survive the test of religion, politics, and natural disasters?
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
Kai Po Che packs a lot into its two hours, with not a lot of subtlety -- and in some cases, bracing grimness. But its performances are enjoyably boisterous, and director Abhishek Kapoor refuses to linger on clichés for too long...before hurling his trio into their next complication or moment of triumph.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
It is a film that skips the huge dance numbers but not the dewy closeups; a film that can countenance premarital sex and doesn’t end in a wedding, but dissolves into melodrama nonetheless.
The New York Times by Rachel Saltz
Ambitious but uneven, Kai Po Che (based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel “The Three Mistakes of My Life”) mixes, not quite successfully, traditional Bollywood storytelling with something less conventional.
Village Voice
The dramatic stakes are so puny that every obstacle can be overcome with a simple work-it-out montage.
