Rating: 3/5
An ambitious guy with his wife becoming his support system on his journey to attain great heights and at the end thanking his wife in front of everyone is the usual story which we have heard and seen. Behind every successful man is a woman. Ki and Ka tries to project just the opposite and to an extent has been fairly successful.
Arjun Kapoor is Kabir aka Ka. His ambition in life is to become like his mother, an artist, a creator of home. He dislikes the corporate race and believes a house wife is as important as any other profession and strives to be one of them. Kareena Kapoor is Kia. Her ambition in life is to run the race so fast and climb the career ladder until she reaches the top. When both meet, they decide they are perfect for each other and hence get married in spite of the inverse age difference.
Balki has chosen a perfect seed for the film and waters it very well. The scenes are hilarious and sometimes too direct yet it never sways away from realism. The humor added when Kabir plays the perfect "wife" brings a giggle yet makes the viewers think that though it might be not possible for such a scenario, it's not completely impossible too. Just the mindset of the man makes the difference.
Most part of the movie delves on how it's not wrong for man to sit at home and run the house while the Lady goes out for work. Only if the man believes they are above woman and feels inferior, the relationship goes down the drain. Ki and Ka have a great relationship which puts all others and public in awe eventually leading to Ka hogging the limelight for his different approach. What follows is the usual jealously and ego fights, which thankfully isn't stretched.
Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan plays cameos and light up the scenes.
Balki has always been a person who offers a cinema which flows in a straight line with no dramatic twists and turns and it was no surprise that Ki and Ka followed the same pattern. Arjun and Kareena Kapoor does justice to their roles. The technical department does a fair job and nothing extraordinary.
Ki and Ka is a refreshing and engaging watch. It doesn't offer much work for your mind. You can sit back and relax with nothing to worry about.
