KANK and KJ type movies...

Unfortunately I happen to see KANK, another feather in KJ's cap this weekend. I was exhausted by the intermission, having no clue where it was heading. First of all, the very concept of infidelity,the theme of this movie which KJ calls as very 'in' thing is presented in such a tacky and poorly conceived way that you feel sorry for the movie. There is absolutely no clue as to why Rani Mukherjee does not reciprocate her hubby's(AB) warm feelings. She is drawn into an affair with Shahrukh who is a perpetually sulking husband trying hard to save his own marriage. The climax of the movie seems to be on a wild goose chase with a very cliched end.

The movie seems to have a poor cinematrography, in most parts of the movie it is Manhattan skyline which is in the background .There seems no plausible reason why the movie was shot in NYC. It could have been anywhere, may be Mumbai,Bangalore or Timbaktu. Another important point which I would like to bring across is India's misinterpretation of the West. Our notion is so god damn skewed about them that we present a very poorly researched and antiquated view of the West. West is synonymous to poor family values, open sexual environment,opulence and amidst all these the pure desi Indian family.
