It is a story of the heartbreak and despair caused when two strangers are brought together by chance and embark on a doomed relationship. KANK superbly captures the mundanity of suburban middle-class life and yet somehow manages to create more emotional intensity than any other romantic Bollywood film I have seen.
I’m not a big fan of Karan Johar.Big spectacular films like KKHH and K3G didn’t make an unforgettable impression on me,as they did on a lot of people.But KANK is a very good film with splendid acting and brilliant camera work.
Two married people have an accidental meeting . Then they keep bumping into each other in New York...start a friendship...and fall in love. But they’re married
The best thing about the film is its simplicity. The ending of the film is wonderful as it is so sad and moving.The acting is so impressive simply because they are playing characters you are likely to meet in real life. Also, the reason why this romance works so much more than most commercialised Bollywood romances, is because the leads pairs are so real. They are normal, every day people, who meet by chance. It is something which could happen to anyone
The mainstay of the film is undoubtedly SRK. His body language, his diction, his expressions, his overall persona deserves great praise. A brilliant performance undoubtedly!
Rani is bound to win all the accolades and laurels. The honesty with which she approaches her character, is extremely effective and should fetch her all the awards in the coming months. This is undoubtedly her best performance to date.
Abhishek comes up with a seasoned performance. Amitabh fails to impress in an insignificant role. He deserved a
better role. Preity Zinta sizzles in the glamourous role.
To put itsimply ,KANK is a simple story which gets transformed into something beautiful by the cast. There is a timeless grace to it. Definitely worth watching and adding to your all-time movie greats collection once the DVD is out!
