Kahaani (2012) (Hindi Movie / Bollywood Film / Indian Cinema Dvd)

We first see Kahaani at an airport where she catches a cab. The driver is surprised that she wants to go directly to the police station instead of a hotel. She wants the police to help her find her husband, who left London and was never heard from again. One policeman takes pity on her and helps when he is off duty.When she rents a derelict room, we watch it improve: it becomes cleaner, tidier, more livable. That cute little neighbor boy notices too. We see what a charmer Kahaani can be, every time someone is offended, she turns on the charm and immediately soothes hurt feelings.As she and that policeman gather information, we get the sense that they are closing in on an answer, but we also realize that there is a larger mystery here. One of the men the police interview tells them that he himself did the training so he is positive that they will never find the mysterious villain.We have at least three people to root for: the policeman, the woman looking for her husband, and that little boy.I obtained my DVD from Amazon after watching a copy from the library and falling in love with it.

This is a most excellent film, for any country, any genre. It is engaging and suspenseful from start to finish, clever and very satisfying. All the actors did a beautiful job, especially the incredibly convincing Vidya Balan in the title role. Can't wait to watch it again soon, now that I know all the secrets. Unfortunately THE VIEWING EXPERIENCE IS BADLY MARRED by producer Shemaroo's logo/watermark APPEARING IN LARGE CAPITAL LETTERS ON EVERY FRAME OF THE FILM. This is very distracting and inappropriate. It is exactly like your company purchasing a Van Gogh painting and then painting your company logo on the face of it to shamelessly advertise yourself at the expense of the work of art. This film (like Queen--same problem) is fine art and Shemaroo has spoiled it. I complained to them at customerservice@shemaroo.com and I urge you to do the same. Maybe if enough people complain they'll stop this inappropriate and unnecessary practice.

It was ok!

Great movie!! Not your regular Bollywood film. V. Balan's performance is outstanding. I watched this movie with my family (please note that we are Mexican so for them Bollywood is not that familiar) and we all enjoyed it very much. The movie has some twist in the story that keeps your attention all time. I definetely recommend this movie to all Amazon customers. Is a must watch!

Bought this on a whim. It was entertaining and worth the buy.

It says it has english subtitles, but it doesn't. It doesn't seem like it has subtitles for the Bengali parts either, so even if you speak Hindi, you're probably going to miss parts. For reference, I am watching though Eros now, so maybe different if you actually buy it individually.

Good movie. Vidya Sinha is very good actor. Many people complained that there are no subtitles. Subtitles are indeed there. May be they don't know how to turn it on1

kahaani is a hindi mystery.it has a very good cast .vidya balan is wonderful.i watch it with subtitles because dubbing is distracting.the last fifteen minutes of the movie threw me for a loop.it was a real suprise ending if you are okay with subtitles i would strongly reccomend this movie.i gave it a five out five rateing.
