Kuwait: Much awaited Kahin Na Kahin Milenge, first Hindi film shot in Kuwait had its premiere in Laila Gallery (Cinescape) in Salmiya on June 12, at 7 pm. Famous dignitaries attended the house packed premiere. The Chief Guest of the evening was Ajai Malhotra, Indian Ambassador to Kuwait and Guest of Honor was Sheikh Duaij Khalifa Al-Sabah.
The show was hosted by Gasper Crasto and Ms. Shuha Taha.
It's a must to watch film for those who come to Kuwait to fulfill their dreams and those who are born and brought up in Kuwait. T Bush and Arif Kazi although it's their first Hindi film has made it look as if these directors have been doing Hindi movies for ages, their hard work has been finally paid off.
Excellent story supported by power packed drama between Manisha Kelkar and Kiran Kumar made audience glued to their seats.
Particularly Manisha Kelkar performance stands out. Shakti Kapoor in supporting role brings gentle smiles. Music director Nazir Mahte has come up with excellent masterpiece Qawali “Tujko Watan Pukare” sung by Mujdaba Naza touches the hearts of all expatriates and makes you remind of your homeland, it brings up memory of super hit song “Chitti Aayi Hai” from movie “Naam” starring Sanjay Dutt and Kumar Gaurav.
KNKM runs at excellent space for 2 hours where audience didn't move from their seats, but just as every movie has ups and downs, suddenly you find screeching break in well run movie by adding love blossom piece almost at end between Amit Bhanushali and Manisha Kelkar which directors could have always put this scene during shooting of documentary “Why I love Kuwait” for which Manisha Kelkar is selected.
The movie again picks up with engrossing drama between Kiran Kumar and Manisha Kelkar. The end of movie is unimaginable which left tears in my eyes. I wouldn't like to break into details of the story but would say it's a must watch movies for all expatriates.
Keeping in mind its a Hindi movie and comparing with other Bollywood movies I would rate it as 3 Stars out of five and two thumbs up to the Directors and Producer for completing the movie in time and bringing it to the audience.
