The movie Ki and Ka had failed to impress me, but having watched Cheeni Kum, I decided to have some faith ( albeit little) in R Balki’s newest venture. Of course, about 120 minutes later I was cursing my decision and I felt like I played an April Fools’ prank on my own brain.
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.so movie is very boring.
