Why it's in the canon
The most kinetic Hindi film of its year, and Bhardwaj's most purely entertaining.
Twin brothers — one stammers, one lisps — collide over a bag of cocaine, a pregnancy and a Bombay political machine.
Kaminey sits in the 2000s alongside Lagaan and Dil Chahta Hai — a decade this canon treats as formative.
