Sachin Chavan 'Ki and Ka' is 'Abhimaan' inverse. But it's the inversion that makes it the movie it is. Breaking social mores was, is, and will never be easy. Breaking those that deal with gender roles is perhaps the most difficult. No wonder the film grossed modestly despite bankable stars and major release. R. Bal'Ki' deserves a big hand for attempting it. I shall skip commenting on its artistic merit just for this reason. Suffices saying that Kareena Kapoor does justice to the role and Arjun is by now creating a niche as a lazy looking actor that can hold the audience, but not impress.

smartrogue Frankly if you reverse the role of Kareena and Arjun the film would be termed misogynist.... So y isn't this termed misandry? We are all for working women and blah blah..but blatant derision of Arjun Kapoor and his meek responses just reinforces the negative stereotypes about home makers ( be of either gender) that they are supposed to be doormats..that they are there to be abused and then be apologised at.. And to top this cherry pie..it tries to brainwash that women are not our equals but our superiors.. How do they do that? Just see If a man is a breadwinner and woman is the home maker then its normal..no more pati parmeshwar ideology...which is fine.. But if a woman is the bread winner and a man is a househusband then the woman is braver than the man because being the (earning) wife of a house husband is more brave than being the earning husband of a house wife..today if the man is earning and woman is handling a house then she is doing a tougher job..but if a woman is earning and man a house husband..its still a woman who is doing a tougher job??

Arslan Shahid I don't know why its rating is only 5.8 where it deserves at least 8.0. I think the people to rate this movie are stereotype people who just do what society tells them to do and could not digest a new and different view to our society. This movie is just awesome. Touching so many point on so many levels. Its against stereotype society, gender inequality and the ego of who earns or runs the house expenses. After watching this movie at least a sensible person will start respecting his mother, sister and wife. Coming to the movie Kareena kapoor is amazing as always. Arjun kapoor supported her equally in acting and in many places he stood alone with superb performance. The script was very well written and direction was outstanding. Music was just good. Overall this movie is a must watch. Go to cinema with an open mind and take your females of your family in perspective and you will love this movie. i give this movie an *8/10

Rawal Afzal It is not about man or woman, it is about who the bread-winner of the family, who kind of the head of the family is, or at least feels that way being the bread-winner, that carries that ego and pride. In this case, it was a woman, and hence it was her who developed all those feelings and thoughts in her mind. This was sort of the moral of the story, and a one which I really liked. The speech by Kia's mother there at the end underlined this beautifully.There were a thousand things here and there that looked a bit odd or were debatable, but it being a film pretty short in length meant that nothing was stretched beyond tolerable limits and remained for me overall a good film. I am not sure it really deserved the hatred that it is getting in reviews. It wasn't the worst film ever, really.What I really liked was the play of words in "ki" and "ka", taken from their names, Kia and Kabir, and extended to the use in language.
