Ki & Ka
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is worth a ticket because it tells shows how there is nothing wrong with the man wearing the apron and the women wearing her ambition.
-
...a cleverly crafted feel-good film that packs all the emotions.
-
By picking the subject of gender role reversal for his film, R Balki walks on a tightrope, and even though the execution gets wobbly once in a while, he, thankfully, regains the balance every time.
-
Inconsistently insightful and sensible. The uneven story and sermons take away from what the film wants to say.
-
Ultimately, what fails the film is its mixed messaging and choppy texture.
-
This is a recurring problem in Balki’s filmmaking. Certainly, he comes up with the most unique ideas, infuses them with a whimsical energy but in his eagerness to impress, he loses all subtlety.
-
...is an important film because it talks about some unconventional and rather tough relationship goals, but it mostly remains a film which is immensely in love with melodrama.
-
It's enjoyable when it's not trite. You might take to it if you are the sort that enjoys clichés.
-
When R Balki made his foray into Hindi films in 2007, he had an unadulterated approach to the medium. That vision seems to have, over time, become too formulaic and fails to garner more than half a chuckle.
-
,...what Ki & Ka lacks in depth, it makes up for in entertainment value.
-
With its promising premise undermined by erratic execution, Ki And Ka is only intermittently watchable.
-
The main characters are too sketchy for the movie Balki hopes to have made, and they are not light enough for the movie he should have made.
-
...if it was scripted well, could have made a powerful impact. Unfortunately, there are only a few endearing moments and a few moments like these does not make a good film.
-
Great to see the premise– send a woman out, keep a man in, and reverse gender expectations- on screen : it just needed to have been sharper and deeper.
-
A good idea gone bad is a common fact in Hindi cinema.
-
A promising premise is ruined by narrative unsubtlety and some strange stylistics choices.
-
All of Balki's good work in the first half comes to naught as the film nosedives into hurried happy ending.
-
A perennially righteous film that reinforces the very stereotypes it was promising to break.
-
...arrives with a curious premise, but Balki fails to flesh it out into an engaging film.
-
Somewhere between the endless product placements, the synthetic textures and the half-baked screenplay, Ki & Ka derails.
-
...wants to be important, it wants to be revolutionary, it wants to be a feminist statement of equality. Admirable, sure. But it doesn't know how.
-
Balki sets out to demolish stereotypes, but in the process, ends up affirming them even more.
-
It's interesting for the first twenty minutes, but then the film dives face first into problems that are so made up, so fake you wonder if they thought the film through beyond the 'concept'.
-
A large part of Ki & Ka in fact resembles something that's been long overcooking inside Chetan Bhagat's head.
