Ki & Ka – Instant Recipe Low on Taste.

Director R. Balki comes with a quirky idea of changing roles yet he makes them go stereotypes in their execution without cultivating an idea to the next level. Serving you an instant recipe low on taste.

Ki bumps into Ka in a plane; an instant chemistry is being forced. The only ambition Ka has is to become a House-Husband taking care of the daily chores; that even todays housewives wont dream off. He does it brilliantly and is unapologetic; son of a big builder who is least interested in taking the family business ahead; has lost his mom and aspires to be like his mom. The way he leaves his ki on the dinner table probably a no man would do as the sheer reason doesn’t turn out to be convincing; it seemed absurd behavior and Ki falls for this ka. Ki makes several calls seeking apology. Next you see a kiss making a path for an instant marriage over a dull song. They marry instantly with the humor that was only witnessed in the trailers. Both the Kapoor’s fail to create the chemistry a love marriage should bring-in; probably that’s where the story suffers too towards the second half; where the only clash they have to take the plot ahead was their EGO making them perform stereotype.

Mr. Ki gets an opportunity from Mrs. Ka’s ad agency to do an interview; that unveils what a great speaker he is; leading him to TEDx Talks; making him popular –the most wanted Munda. So much so that even Jaya Bachchan wants to meet this guy watching his interview on television debating with BigB on changing roles.  Mr. Ki is invited at BigB’s house for nothing but to have a dinner over some background noise not score with hardly any conversation a forced integration that doesn’t add any value on the celluloid, that’s the scene you can watch it on any of the Sunday live outside Big-B’s bungalow.

Ki refers another bride as a “Khamba” just a pillar of strength with no ambition or whatsoever. She goes loud saying “Main Khamba nahi banna chahti”- Ki & Ka really needed a good dialogue writer; good music director, a good editor and above all a good story-writer.

Kareena Kapoor has been playing Sonakshi Sinha since quite some time in her recent movies; fortunately gets a role that is huge on length but low on content; she is been deprived of promising characters and shall soon fade off like Urmila, Rani and very recent Sonakshi too. Arjun Kapoor has tried hard to fit in the role that doesn’t has much meat to it.
