“Har Hisse ke Kisse” evokes rhythm of nostalgia into the Screen

The title of the movie pulls forth the true emotions- ‘Har Hisse ke Kisse’ Kaamyab. The supporting artist who are often loosely regarded as sidekick, it’s their firm hands which holds the aura of the screen yet are somehow washed away by the dirt of nepotism. The question about that their identity, their trust comes to the forefront because as per the census we remember stars not artists, that’s the thick line stretched far in the dark reality of human diversity.

Their struggle after years of pain puts them on the pages of recognition which unfortunately burned by the diverse term called “Nepotism.” It’s either on in the million or none. It’s the supporting artist who is the garnishing of the dish which ultimately never comes into light. They shine but in the dilapidated universe. Can you imagine Sholay without the iconic character of ‘Gabber’(portrayed by Amjad Khan) or Mr India without Mogambo (portrayed by  Amrish Puri) they are been able to put forth flavour which still persists and will never perish away. It’s our childhood nostalgia which drives us to remember the veterans who will shine like stars even after the words are left unsaid. Artists- Johnny Walker, Lalita Pawar, Kesto Mukherjee, Utpal Dutta, Viju Khote, Tun- Tun, Bhanu Bandyopadhyay, Rabi Ghosh, Saurabh Shukla, Manoj Pawa, Seema Pawa, Nasserudin Shah and others, have proved themselves over the years but are erased through the passage of times.

Director Hardik Mehta holds true to the subject dwelling over the insanity surfaced around several artists and the gloomy nature through which they are dragged through.

“Kaamyab” drives straight into the insanity and the precarious nature of the industry by either Khan’s, Kapoor’s or Karan Johar on the utmost strata. The movie starts with the indoor shot of the interview of veteran actor ‘Sudheer’, who gets shocked when its revealed that in this decade long career he has starred 499 movies, 1 away from 500 mark and thus moves through the journey to regain the lost identity with a  understatement- “ 500 wi movie ki to lagega ki zindigi me kuch kiya hai”, this showcases the dark wrath over which an actor is covered in this industry of utmost insanity. Thus, Sudheer moves through the journey of ups & downs to reclaim the image of the artist whom the world will remember in the later years to come, this forms the core of ‘Kaamyab’,

Gulati ( Deepak Dobriyal) who plays the casting agent who pushes Sudheer on the edge of his 500^th movie has been able to create a strong presence been an artist himself with other veteran actors sharing the space Avtar Gill, Viju Khote, Amitabh Srivastava and others have also been able to drive nostalgia and emotions even for that little time they are in the frames.

The whole movie is raw and compact in its execution delivering emotions in a subtle yet promising way. The beautiful aspect about the movie is the way veteran actors are portraying themselves, around the fictional world, which is clever in its approach showcasing their hardships that they have to go through. There were instances in the movie where audience will fell little exaggerated but the tone and rhythm is pure and is firmly driven by Sanjay Mishra, the real artist of the entire movie.

The irony of the film lies in the fact, Sanjay Mishra, who himself has shed years and years of blood and sweat to put himself in that big screen and now this very actor holds the capability to hold a movie all by himself as the protagonist that’s what struggle is all about even after the hardships there are moments of joy which derives recognition.

Kaamyab will definitely puts you in the edge of humour and emotions and will shiver you with childhood nostalgia, ending on the high note that calls for sanity for the supporting artists. But it fells unfortunate that all this will lead to that diminishing road because there is yet another Kapoor or Khan waiting to be launched by Dharma!
