Ki n Ka ... Movie review

Ki & Ka... Honestly, I didn't understand it at all. Either I am too stupid or the film maker is. I thought it would be a progressive concept on gender equality, but what I witnessed is utterly regressive. Equality means equal respect, balance in roles n responsibilities between the two genders, right? Wrong, according to Mr. Balki. He doesn't believe in the concept that both Ki n Ka can progress simultaneously, both can pursue their careers simultaneously, both can share their household responsibilities... He thinks if Ki has to be a CEO then Ka must be at home cooking rajma chawl, taking care of the laundry and dishes n attend kitty parties!!! So, basically it's equally regressive with a role reversal... A man is "cool" if he leaves his career n stays at home even if he is an IIMB topper! So basically, Ki or Ka, one has to sacrifice for the other!!! Mr. Balki, by that logic you should stop making movies since your wife is a career woman!

This movie is extremely stereo type is the most regressive way possible. Housewives are artists, they build a home, no doubt about it Mr. Balki... But today's women who are balancing their house as well as work are even better artists for they are building homes as well as careers! N their Ka's are cooler than yours for they support their better halves in all respect, without sacrificing anything! So please get your concepts right before making a "socially irrelevant" movie like this again!

Coming to the acting, I give full marks to all of them starting from Arjun Kapoor, to Swaroop Sampat to Rajat Kapoor. Amitabh Bachchan n Jaya Bachchan were brilliant in their guest appearance. And yes, my not mentioning Kareena Kapoor is not unintentional. She isn't worth mentioning.
