I was waiting for KANK so badly. I'm not a KJ fan. I hated KKHH but can watch that movie 100 times just for Kajol. I knew KANK won't be a great movie but expected it to be entertaining. But...
By now everyone knows the story. Two married couples, two failed relationships..blah blah and blah.
I've always failed to understand KJ's Fundas. I couldn't fathom why Shahrukh loves Kajol in the second half in KKHH and not in First half. Is it bcoz she wasn't sexy enough in the first half? What kind of love is that which goes on looks?? Anyways we are not discussing KKHH.
In KANK I don't know why they always emphasized on failed relationships. The relationships (Marriages) fail because of Shahrukh and Rani. How do they expect two failed people to have a successful relationship?? First of all they have not shown why they hate their spouses and why they go looking around for love outside their marriages when their respective spouses love them so much. Cheating is cheating. They would have first divorced their spouses and then loved each other or something. As far as I remember till now there is no movie which has shown happy ending for cheaters. Just to set the new trend or break the mold KJ should not have shown what the ending he has shown. The mold has already been broken by Indian soap operas. Watch Ek Ladaki Anjanisi or any other serial everywhere that’s what runs 24 hrs.
The only good things about the movie are its music and song picturisation. You should watch Tumhi dekho na…When it started I wished I had remote to forward the songs but I was wrong the song is really beautifully picturised. I don’t know who the choreographer is. And other songs Where is the party tonight? & Rock n Roll are really enjoyable. In both Songs there are pleasant surprises…
KJ considers Yash Chopra as his ideal. Yashji made movies like Silsila and Kabhi Kabhie. This is what KJ has learnt from Kabhi Kabhie and Silsila??
Karan Johar thinks he is an expert on Marriage institution. I saw on his website that he has given a big lecture on Arranged Marriages, Love marriages, and those who marry for parents and money. There're people who are extremely happy in Arranged marriages and people who have Love marriages would have never divorced. I don’t believe marriages are made in heaven but wherever they are made to make them successful there has to be Faith, Love and Understanding on both sides
On the acting front Shahrukh Khan is at his worst. You hate his acting same way like when you hate Jim Carrey when he overacts. I used to like SRK before this movie especially Paheli and Swades. Rani is fine. Priety is good though doesn’t have much role. Amitabh is as always good.
And of course is the best actor award for this movie goes to AbhishekJ.
I will never recommend this movie to anyone.Total wastage of money and time. I wish I had watched Omkara instead.
