Reviews
The three boys' performances are outstanding: Sushant Singh Rajput (Ishaan), Raj Kumar Yadav (Govind), and Amit Sadh (Omi). Sushant deserves special attention for playing the best role and doing it justice. Amrita Puri is endearing. Amit Trivedi's music is soulful and captivating.
Despite the dark backdrop of death, destruction, and politics, Kai Po Che is endearing. You find yourself smiling between tears because, above all, it is a narrative of friendship and human victory.
Rating
ImDb rated the movie 7.9/10. The movie is worth a watch as it takes you on the journey of three friends.
Ishaan is an ex-district cricketer who wants to start a cricket academy. He is a natural leader who is passionate and driven. Ishaan exemplifies desire and perseverance, continuously chasing his dreams. He is also a devoted and loving friend, always looking out for Omi and Govind. His idealism, on the other hand, can occasionally blind him to the complexities of life, leading to rash actions.
Omi Shastri (Amit Sadh)
Omi is Ishaan and Govind's close friend. He hails from a politically powerful family, and his friendship is conflicted with his family's political goals. Omi struggles with his sense of loyalty and frequently finds himself in contradicting positions. As the novel progresses, he undergoes a dramatic metamorphosis, grappling with shame, terror, and his own identity.
Govind Patel (Rajikummar Rao)
Govind is a calm, practical, and pragmatic individual. He enjoys mathematics and co-owns a sports store with Ishaan. Govind's logic frequently clashes with Ishaan's idealism, creating a tension within their friendship. He aims for financial success and stability, which leads him to make cautious decisions. Govind faces personal and professional hardships while remaining grounded.
