Hi Omar. Yes, I think this film poster announces it as a UTV Spotboy release. In the same way Gangs of Wasseypur is a ‘Tipping Point’ release, the Viacom 18 brand for ‘independent Indian films or ‘New Bollywood’.

I did not have the energy to post a review for Kai po che but agree with your take on the film. I also think UTV productions has a role to play in the emergence of populist cinema dealing with social issues in new ways. Apparently the director Abhishek Kapoor has said that none of the major stars wanted nothing to do with the film but if this is true then it actually worked in the favour of the film. It’s refreshing to see a cast made up of relative newcomers without star baggage. The running time also helps since the film is almost devoid of songs and they do not crudely interrupt the narrative. I agree, it will be one of the better Hindi films of this year.
