 According to the Hindustan Times , Kaminey " is the first attempt to deal with reality in a mature , matter of fact manner . " Unlike other Hindi films , in which the female lead is Sita , the protagonist is Rama and the antagonist is Ravana , the characters in Kaminey are nuanced humans in " layered and complex " situations . Namrata Joshi from Outlook wrote that Kaminey reflects Bhardwaj 's " enduring fascination for underdogs , characters on the margins of society and the morally compromised " . Bhardwaj told Rediff.com that the film deals with " themes that affect our lives directly " , and " is a reminder that we all have a dark side , and often we are not fully aware of that side " . Rakesh Bedi from The Economic Times wrote , " Bhardwaj presents the two warring brothers with speech defects . In today 's world of logorrhea , communication is fraught with many dangers : misunderstandings , paranoias , recriminations , conflicts . Everyone speaks but no one understands . Bhardwaj gave the twins verbal impediments to show that the world has now been so hardwired to convoluted and calamitous communication that it needs silence or a speech defect to hash things out . " He continued , " [ w ] ith some glitches , Bhardwaj has almost re @-@ birthed the Hindi film " . The film also explores sex and sexuality , which according to Bedi were explored in a " radically different and refreshing " way , and the director " daringly takes it a step further " . When Sweety becomes pregnant , the couple " decide to carry the pregnancy to term after a bit of hesitation . So she literally pushes her man into marriage . ( Had Bhardwaj abjured marriage , it would have been a complete break but the nuptials were essential to the drama of the film . ) " The Daily Beast said that " for aficionados of the Hindi @-@ language genre , Kaminey is a revolutionary manifesto . It takes classic Bollywood tropes — estranged brothers , a case of mistaken identity , high drama approaching slapstick comedy — and presents them with Hollywood @-@ style realism instead of Bollywood 's wink @-@ nudge mix of melodrama and posturing .
