Not good movie only songs are good. Saif comic is good ajay acting is good. Milan film once upon a time in mumbai is only good. Senseless story writing and characters are connecting them.

Ajay and Saif for the first time
silvan-desouza17 November 2009
Remember Amitabh's LAAWARIS(1981)? Well Ajay Devgan too played a Laawaris in 2-3 films like Mahesh Bhatt's ZAKHM(1998) and NAAJAYAZ(1995 So his assistant Milan Luthria too follows suit In fact Ajay's look is similar to HOGI PYAAR KI JEET(1999) perhaps he shot at the same time The story is the same done to death stuff But Ajay- Saif chase scenes are well handled and entertaining sadly the film goes through 2000 clichés and ends up being a routine masala film There is lot of continuity glitches too like the hair changes of Saif from scene to scene Direction by Milan Luthria is average to below average Music is okay
Ajay Devgan repeats his 3 words and pierced eyes act and does well Saif too repeats his comic act But their chemistry is good Namrata and Manisha fit in the heroines Govind Namdeo is as usual

What can I say about Kache Dhage? Have seen it many times. Every viewing enriches the experience except that the suspense in the climax will no longer be there. This film is dominated by its music and the story becomes weak before the music in spite of being good on its own.
Songs just fit into the film very well. The haunting music composed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan with the right dose of Punjabi words in the songs is the best thing happened to this film. The image of Punjabi songs, at least for me, was only "balle balle" type of songs. However after I discovered the treasure of Punjabi poetry in Nusrat's other compositions, I decided to learn Punjabi one day. The songs of this film are definitely and definitively representatives of the wonderful Punjabi poetry.
If I remember what I heard on TV correctly, the music for this film is as such not composed for this film but the film makers took the music of Nusrat and ACKNOWLEDGED/credited Nusrat for his music. This honesty is reflected in every department. Unfortunately, Milan Luthria could not live up to the expectations of people like me with his other offerings Chori Chori and Deewar, given the promise of his talent that was present all over Kache Dhaage.
I recommend this film very strongly. God Willing, I would own a DVD of this film soon.

Saif and Ajay have macho chemistry!

Warning: Spoilers
Kachche Daage is not a great film, but it's highly watchable with some really fun moments. Directed by Milan Luthria, who also directed Chori Chori (2003) and Deewaar (2004).
I'm not sure why this film got so trounced by the critics - it's much better than a lot of other BW movies. Pehaps there is something here I don't understand - perhaps there is some possible communal offense as this is about Indian soldiers who betray their country and help terrorists smuggle guns into the country. Be that as it may, as a clueless westerner ... I find this film very enjoyable.
Saif and Ajay perform really well together - they have macho chemistry! And both of these wonderful men look really handsome and cool here. Saif plays the go-getter successful city yuppie willing to risk it all on his deals - while his illegitimate half-brother Ajay has turned to stealing to vent his anger at being rejected by the society for being a bastard. Ajay's illegitimacy prevents him from marrying Manisha, the love of his life, because her parents wont accept him. Ajay's mother is Muslim and Saif's parents Hindu. Apparently Saif's father wanted to marry Ajay's mom, but the religious difference ruined their chances for happiness.
The film starts off with Ajay poking a stick into a cobra's hole! Once the snake emerges Ajay grabs it and stares it in the eye with his own piercing Attila-the-Hun eyes! I like this. There is also a sweet romantic scene with Manisha where Ajay tells her to close her eyes and then says something like ... "the rain will get you wet" and she says "let it get me wet" and he drops water on her cheek and then slowly kisses it away ... Nice!
Saif is very convincing as the enraged spoiled brat yuppie who finds himself helplessly dragged into Ajay's accidental involvement with the terrorists and the army. Saif wants his 'pin' card, his cell phone, and doesn't like getting blood on his spiffy business suit. Frog's broth makes him gag! The contrast between the two is the conflict of the young city techie male against his more rural street wise counterpart - and is played to amuse rather than make any kind of statement. These two endure the endless chase, a danger packed cool train scene, and gallantly ride horses to catch the bad guys in top style! They look great riding together - so dashing!
The music and dance numbers are also worth seeing. There are some colorful hot qawwali numbers with lots of swaying guys feeling excessively soulful. Manisha looks lovely and she has some tender chemistry with Ajay. Saif is paired with Namrita Shirodkar who fits as the yuppie girl friend. Naturally Ajay and Saif come to bond and love each other. I really like this film. Perhaps that year it just had too much competition: 1999 was the year that Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Taal came out. I recommend it especially for Saif and Ajay fans. There's lots of exploding trucks, hand held rockets, fight scenes, horse & train stunts and good music. It's BW!

tharenvirsawan_321 April 2005
i never use to like Ajay or Saif but this movie is excellent and i think that you need to watch.Manisha also did a great job as well as the other performers this DVD you can get now in leading stores make sure you buy it and not rent it!The songs are also excellent with the action is also good this movie also did good at the cinemas.people if you need to watch a movie on a Friday or Saturday this is what you need i was shocked at the very ending when ???????? turns out to be the villain and the action at the ending is A1.The songs like 'pyar Nanni kare'is the best.Don't forget this movie is a must see for all Ajay Devgan and Saif Ali Khan fans
Awesome

KACHCHE DHAAGE(1999) is one of the first pairings of Ajay Devgan and Saif Ali Khan
The two are stepbrothers with Ajay as the smuggler and Saif as the yuppie brat from the city Both the pair are awesome and share perfect chemistry
The film is about Indian soldiers selling their weapons to smugglers The pace of the story goes slow but the music helps
Ajay-Saif combo works well for action films as they are both handsome and cool Manisha Koirala is wasted Namrata Shirodkar is okay Govind Namdeo is the usual loud guy
