Kaminey marks a shift away from Vishal’s engagement with Shakespeare (as seen in Maqbool and Omkara) but it does reflect his enduring fascination for underdogs, characters on the margins of society and the morally compromised. That’s the way the human psyche is, he says: “We are not all that pure. We have both moral and immoral forces within us.” It’s this singular vision that defines all his films, across a dazzling range of genres: from a wicked children’s film (Makdi), a Macbeth set in Mumbai’s underworld (Maqbool), and an Othello in the Hindi badlands (Omkara), to lyrical fable (Blue Umbrella) and now a mad caper (Kaminey).
