A very fresh concept, big stars, revolutionary director, this movie had everything which needed to make a good recipe, but the food just didn’t taste as everyone expected it to be. In today’s world, in many cases, both of the spouses are working and manages their respective responsibility at work and home perfectly. Yes, I would agree on a point that, we are not yet as progressive to accept a woman working and husband being the stay-at-home-husband than accepting wife as a housewife, but definitely not every parent expect their daughter or daughter in law will not be the pillar of their son-in-law or son. The fact it’s a mutual expectation for both bride and groom that they will be there to support each other during thick and thins.
What didn’t go well with me in this movie is,
Kabir claims, he doesn’t live on his father’s money, but he used to live in the same house as his father. Then what was the source of his income and from where he could afford the whiskey(cheap) and flight tickets for comfort his friend?
Kabir tries to convince Kia about his sexual straightness by saying he doesn’t like pink, interested in women and loves whiskey. My question to Mr. Balki here if a’man’ doesn’t like whiskey and like pink color, does it make him less masculine? Also, while trying to prove’Shtreeling Puling samething’, somewhere you have insulted the feeling of the other genders?
If Kabir is a househusband and Kia is working women, why is it necessary for both of them to introduce Kabir as’Wife’, why can’t they use the term’a househusband’?
Giving 50% discount to the men in saffola oil is one of the most stupid business ideas I have ever heard. Because, irrespective of being a househusband, working husband of a housewife or working husband of a working wife, it’s not so rare for men to go out for grocery shopping, in fact, in rural areas it is the man of the house who does all these things.
What was the so special responsibility Kabir was taking for which there has to be a dedicated a househusband?
Someone who can beat rowdies is masculine and he turns a sophisticated girl on.
Why Kabir has to wear Mangalsutra? I mean what is the taboo of wearing it if one is not interested? It’s should not be projected as a mandate for housewives to wear mangalsutra.
Thumbs Up:
Though the movie couldn’t live up to the expectation, but the concept is definitely worth making a good movie.
Kareena has done a splendid job with the role of Kia and set designer is fabulous.
Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan are phenomenal in the sort role they have played.
Thumbs Down:
Apart from all the points I already mentioned, songs are just pathetic.
The movie seemed too much dragged to me. This movie should not have taken more than 1 hour of time so show what it has shown.
I would not give R. Balki a credit for this unique concept, as the same concept has been aired as a daily soap called Mrs. Tendulkar and which did better justice than Ki&Ka.
Verdict: Not worth watching in a multiplex. Wait for the movie to telecast on television.
