the story of Ki and Ka, brings out the typical mentality of the Indian subcontinent and the idea that is related to gender and economic sustainability. The idea of the movie is completely fresh with the focus being on the husband-wife/a couple's dynamics. The story is based on a man who is in his 20s and comes from a successful background. But, his future goals are quite revolutionary considering the social tradition and expectation of what a man should do. He wants to be a house husband and cook like his mother. And one day he finally finds his perfect match. They get married and the woman starts getting fame and successful in her work. But the twist comes when the man gets attention for being different in place of the woman and some other obvious things stop becoming available to the person who is the bread earner. Ultimately the movie shows the issue is not gender, rather economic freedom and being the head of the family. The movie will definitely raise a lot of thinking in the mind of sub continental people.

Frankly if you reverse the role of Kareena and Arjun the film would be termed misogynist.... So y isn't this termed misandry? We are all for working women and blah blah..but blatant derision of Arjun Kapoor and his meek responses just reinforces the negative stereotypes about home makers ( be of either gender) that they are supposed to be doormats..that they are there to be abused and then be apologised at.. And to top this cherry pie..it tries to brainwash that women are not our equals but our superiors.. How do they do that? Just see If a man is a breadwinner and woman is the home maker then its normal..no more pati parmeshwar ideology...which is fine.. But if a woman is the bread winner and a man is a househusband then the woman is braver than the man because being the (earning) wife of a house husband is more brave than being the earning husband of a house wife..today if the man is earning and woman is handling a house then she is doing a tougher job..but if a woman is earning and man a house husband..its still a woman who is doing a tougher job??

R Balki makes beautiful movies which are far different than regular Bollywood movies. This movie is also different than regular Akshay Kumar or Salman Khan movies. R Balki's last movie Shamitabh was also very unique. But I have to say that R Balki should work more on his script as this movie is predictable and all surprises die in first 30 minutes of movie. His movies has unconventional concept and if he do more research on his story line then no one can stop him from make a blockbuster movies. Who knows in future he may win an Oscars too. Overall movie was good but story was weak, I repeat concept was good but movie could not hold us because of predictable and weak plot. Kareena Kapoor still looks good and justifies her role, Arjun Kapoor is OK, I wasn't expecting much from him either. Movie is bold and honest. One time watchable! My rating is 7 stars!
