Overview : A modern and Brave new concept of role
reversal ,for Indian Society who take efforts put in by woman as worthless
and take them granted
: TheStory Line
story revolves around Kia (Kareena Kapoor Khan ) . who is an aggressive and
career oriented woman , working in a corporate company and has a goal to reach the position of C.E.O of the company . She wants to stay
independent, minus the house hold responsibility , according to her she cannot
be like a khamba (pillar ) , of any man
. She meets Kabir (Arjun Kapoor) , who is son of a reputed builder from Delhi ,
. Kabir is an M.B.A , but who has no
interest in joining his father’s Business or
join any corporate company , according to him
people are just running the race he
terms them as corporate robot’s .
He does not have any interest in living like a robot ,
infact he wants to be like his late mother , who was his father’s pillar . So
when Ki for kia and ka for kabir when they meet they instantly start liking
each other , and they decide to get
married . Kabir agrees to manage the house, according to him looking after the home is an
art and he consider’s himself an artist . So he does all house hold chores
cokoking and cleaning etc while Kia can pursue her dream of reaching the
peak of her career . , But on this
course of Role reversal there are many hurdles awaiting
Everyone comes to
know bout this role reversal , including ki’s office colleagues , Kia;
Agency interviews ka , as he is the
ideal man for every woman of modern generations dreams of , This interview
leads to many talk shows , Cooking shows etc , , Ka becomes famous so much so
that even Jaya Bachanan wants to meet him ,
debating with Big B on changing
roles . All this publicity makes Mrs Ki very jealous of her husband without really doing much he has become famous , with this jealousy ih her
heart she goes to US.A for a conference
, in her absence her mother gets hospitalised , she gets an opportunity and she
lashes out on Ka , she blames him for her mother’s condition and tells him that
he is manipulative and has used her to proof to his father that he too can
become famous without actually doing much. What happens next will their marriage survive or crash is for
the audience to watch .
Performances : Kareena Kapoor Khan has acted brilliantly as
arrogant and independent woman . Specially her acting in lashing out scene is
brilliant . Arjun Kapoor has played his role of house husband at ease without
any embarrassment . Swaroop Sampat as Kareena’s Mother is good .
Verdict : The
Director R.Balki who has given us Brilliant films like Cheeni Kum , Paa,
Shamitabh etc has failed to give same results
in Ki & Ka . The screenplay of the film is the main reason for its
disappointment . The quirky idea of role reversal is brilliant but Balki has
failed in its execution . First half is
good and entertaining as the concept is conceptualised properly but the second
half goes hay wire making it a typical
stereo type movie of ego’s clashing between couple’s . When a man does woman’s
job and vice a versa ,society and people around you will always criticise and
protest first . The story lacks showing this criticism , even KI’s office
collegues too behave normally lile it is a regular stuff to be a house husband
. Instead of focusing on the story line , story emphasises on KIi & Ka’s
personal battle and jealousy , this is where the script lacks .
Final Words : Though the film is unable to justify the
beauty of this amazing concept , it does not have any dull moment so it can
make for a one time watch.
Rating : 2.5*/5*
