The first must-see film of the year.
Keeley Coleman
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Leoni Haney
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Film released on 1st April by Balki named Ki and Ka was a unique work .the writer and director of film Balki tried to touch a new issue showing that a woman named Kia is a goal oriented working woman who married to a man who is more interested in putting his efforts in useful ways rather than just be in a race of success. Movie proceeds with a slight touch of love, compassion and friendship between the two husband and wife . One of the best part of movie was the mother being such a supportive mother-in-law and so the respect given by Kabir . Another dilemma of society is being manifested about the love relations of 21st century. Most of them are more based on status,position,name and family's background rather than what does a man or woman actually worth as mentioned by Ki's mother. The way both of them managed to pursue their dreams was commendable. Yet I think movie went to the side of extremism, showing that man could sit at home and can be a support for a successful woman . Man can be a support by working out because what is important is motivation rather than management of house. Movie would have been more appealing if the writer would have shown that man can work at home,at his office and can support his wife all at same time as he is a man (multi tasked). If the point was to show how hard working women are at home than why Ka failed to manage his house while he became a famous speaker because that's what today's woman can do , manage both. The house of Ka was decorated exquisitely by Ka showing that he was actually an artist. The symbolic role of Ka's mother was a true inspiration showing that people working at house are not 'doing nothing '. Taking her as a role model was a good move . As the writer and director of the film is the same person so he didn't want to cut out any of his dialogue because of which movie became a Little bit out of pace showing same scenario in quite a detail added with songs.apart from all ,the biggest flaw in the movie was the climax which they tired that exists by saying again and again'I am having acidity due to curiosity ' by actually movie failed to cause any acidity to audience.it was a sweet piece to watch showing the husband wife cooperation , although cuddling scenes were more than needed but overall it was a one time watch . The last message given by mother was block Baster line indication of the fact that problem lies with the earning soul whoever that is. He or she gets use to fame and the person living at home gets ignored that was really the line to applause and instead of Ka and Ki controversial issue , it should be extracted.In the nutshell such movie with different issues should be made but a need of more refined focus is needed. And lastly thumbs up for the stunning looks and acting of Karena and Arjun Kapoor.The guest appearance of Amitab Batchan and Jia Bachan was a source of audience attention which was furtive by the message of Jia for Ki.Couples need to give it a try.

R Balki has already brought us some memorable light hearted dramas including Cheeni Kum and Paa. Sticking to his strength, he brings to us, Ki & Ka, another breezy script, but based on 1 statement, 'What if a guy grows up wanting to be like his mom?'An interesting topic where gender stereotypes are reversed. For a country slowly grappling with the idea of financially independent women, women entrepreneurs, single mothers and husbands who work from home, it's another concept, which is fun to watch on screen, but awkward and embarrassing to live with. Balki casts Arjun n Kareena, who seem like an odd pairing, but grow on us through the movie as a pair of buddies (not as a couple). The movie follows the basic pattern, but this time girl (Ki) meets guy (Ka), gets impressed, falls in love, takes him home to her mom for approval. The director makes enough efforts to establish the backgrounds of both the protagonists to convince the audience about their decision to get married. There are many well presented situations where Ka serves his first breakfast, catches the maid in action, cleans up a broken glass during a house party, feels left out during a foreign tour. What the film succeeds in, is to showcase the situations that each gender usually faces, helping the audience appreciate each other's troubles. Also, there are 2 advice statements, one from Ki's mom and another from Jaya Bachchan (yup, as herself) which make a lot of sense. There are a few flaws though.As mentioned earlier, the script is a blown out version of an idea. Although many great movies start from a statement only, this one seems like a stretched idea, falling into the trap of repeating itself. Gender reversals bring out the chuckles, but it's continuous bombarding leaves you wondering whether such actions are plausible. Also the lack of flow in the script, it feels like a set of planned scenes, prevents it from being great. Ka keeps on iterating that he's also a typical guy by drinking a lot of whiskey and becoming Dharmendar to funnily beat up a couple of teasing goons. Also, an IIM topper keeping cash safe in a fridge and preparing house budget on a piece of paper is stretching it a bit too far.Performance wise, Arjun has to be complimented for taking up the role and keeping a straight face while performing the awkward scenes. However, he lacks much in energy and charm to take the role up a notch. Maybe the Whiskey was a little too much. Kareena as 'Ki', looks great, doesn't let her real life marital status affect her performance in any manner and is the natural actor of the lot. In a film, where the limelight is mostly on Ka, she holds her own and wins it with an outburst on our irresponsible house husband. The best performances were by Swaroop Sampat as the modern, but insightful mom of Ki, who gets great dialogues and also Mr. Amitabh Bachchan who brings out the most laughter without even mouthing a dialogue.I'd recommend watching the movie with your life partner, if for nothing but to appreciate each other's efforts in sustaining the family.
