Ki & Ka (2016)

Getting acquainted with Indian films has opened up a whole new cinematic world for me. One of the things I like most about them is how they address serious social issues in a lighthearted way. This story of a young couple attempting a groundbreaking gender-role reversal is no exception. It is courageous and questioning without being heavy-handed. It also has everything you would want in a rom-com: an attractive, appealing couple; a variety of lovely sets and locations; parents who complicate matters, intentionally or otherwise; amusing subplots. The plot is refreshingly clever and unpredictable. There is even a cameo from a major Indian celebrity, playing himself! Ladies, you will love this movie. Gentlemen, if you are brave and open-minded enough to watch it with your significant other, you may love it too. Delightful and thought-provoking.

Amitabh & Jaya - What a screen presence ya!! Till today they have the capability to put the screen on fire!! Arjun is high on his weight and Kareena high on her wrinkles.. Endorsements and more.. Saffola, lakme, daawat rice , vistara.. What not .. Needed? Not sure Movie tries to make a point but lacks clarity.. Director looks fascinated by trains to have shot in Rail Museum and then have trains all over the house.. A train from kitchen to dining table .. Cmon !! Swaroop Sampat leaves her mark as a confident and liberal mom.. Kareena's acting shows traces of jab we met but nothing close.. Arjun Kapoor is just playing victim.. Movie has its highs / lows and lull moments .. But should watch it once just for the concept of Ki & Ka .. Workable or not workable depends!!

I don't know why its rating is only 5.8 where it deserves at least 8.0. I think the people to rate this movie are stereotype people who just do what society tells them to do and could not digest a new and different view to our society. This movie is just awesome. Touching so many point on so many levels. Its against stereotype society, gender inequality and the ego of who earns or runs the house expenses. After watching this movie at least a sensible person will start respecting his mother, sister and wife. Coming to the movie Kareena kapoor is amazing as always. Arjun kapoor supported her equally in acting and in many places he stood alone with superb performance. The script was very well written and direction was outstanding. Music was just good. Overall this movie is a must watch. Go to cinema with an open mind and take your females of your family in perspective and you will love this movie. i give this movie an *8/10

It is not about man or woman, it is about who the bread-winner of the family, who kind of the head of the family is, or at least feels that way being the bread-winner, that carries that ego and pride. In this case, it was a woman, and hence it was her who developed all those feelings and thoughts in her mind. This was sort of the moral of the story, and a one which I really liked. The speech by Kia's mother there at the end underlined this beautifully.There were a thousand things here and there that looked a bit odd or were debatable, but it being a film pretty short in length meant that nothing was stretched beyond tolerable limits and remained for me overall a good film. I am not sure it really deserved the hatred that it is getting in reviews. It wasn't the worst film ever, really.What I really liked was the play of words in "ki" and "ka", taken from their names, Kia and Kabir, and extended to the use in language.
