Stretching one night into cinema is a formidable task and at times, Chameli’s script seems stilted and the random encounters clunky. But what holds it together is Kareena Kapoor.Achingly lovely, she is by turns ironic, seductive, steely and tragic. This is a prostitute savvy enough to create sob stories to earn more money but also vulnerable enough to hope for love.Bose, suited and speaking in clipped city tones, is the perfect foil for her coarse beauty. At two hours, Chameli is a minimalist miniature. Anupama Chopra’s review of Chameli (2004) -- source link
