WATCH THE HINDI FULL MOVIE "KI & KA" WITH HD...........

The film, which stars Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor in titular roles, revolves around a couple who have reversed gender roles. Kabeer is a house husband while Kia aims to climb the corporate ladder. For India, where the unemployed are looked down upon, the premise could have been hard-hitting. But when you have an actor like Arjun who has only one expression — puppy dog face — taking the film seriously becomes an arduous task. One can see Kareena trying to take command, much like her character Kia, and steer the film on the right track, but in vain.

Shoddy acting aside, even the execution of the film is cringeworthy. It’s patchy in most places and much like several other “social message” films, it upholds the very stereotype it wants to break. The film’s pace is erratic, to say the least. I wondered if the projectionist was a sadist as the film felt sped up and slowed down in many places. In the end, I realised it was the film all along.

I think the funniest part is how Bollywood executes courtship. In reality, men (and in many cases, women) do everything in their power to impress their lady/man love. But in Bollywood, no matter how you look or whether you have the personality like a wall’s, if you’re the lead actor, the actress will fall for you after three or, at most, four scenes. This film is no different. After having fallen for each other, the couple, armed with the speed of the bullet train that India aspires to build one day, tie the knot.
