Kaminey!!! No impact all. 

I always wait till the next morning to pronounce judgement on a film I see. Usually, if it a film I really like (DevD, Caramel, others...), the scenes go eoundmy head when I sleep and I'm still analysing stuff when I wake up. All of the next day goes by with the movie playing around at the back of my brain. Its a unique pleasure, akin to listening to music you're really familiarly in love with.
But Kaminey was too much motion, too much noise. Not enough poignant moments. And the few that were there were rushed over. Shahid, Priyanka were great, so were the rest of the actors and the humour was refreshing for such a dark theme. 
And yes, maybe I am over-analysing it. But the thing is, you expect a lot from Vishal Bhardwaj, and when he doesn't deliver, its very deeply disappointing. The music was insightful though, and I will always bow low to Vishal for that particular talent that he has, of being able to merge themes, sounds and voices together to so closely complement his film scene!
Aside: Someone had got a 3-month old baby to the hall. Was imagining the kid growing up to be a let-down and the parents ruing the day they took baby pappu to see a move called Kaminey!!
