how can a person living with a partner for 8 years, walk out from their marriage. Maturity in marriage comes by time. If this is a story of modern world, how can Priety\'s role be wrong for not having time to care for her husband. There are so many ways to detail with marriage problems then to find someone else to fall back to.
"Marriages are made in heaven", they often break apart here on earth. Which is what happened to Shah Rukh and Rani in KANK. India has a rich religious and cultural heritage, extending about 5,000 years into the past. Expectation of marriage in India is that it will be forever. After marriage two individuals develop intimate relationships, love develops over time. After watching KANK everything seems to be untrue. Divorce is becoming more common in India because of the movies like KANK. After marriage People falling in love with other's esp a married Women or Man is Not great.It shows something which is not very prevalent and not morally accepted in India. All I can say is Karen, When people all over the world are praising our culture why are you after western culture?? Please do not get Western culture in desi movies. Our culture is great and leave it as it is. For the cast, how can you accept to work in such an ultimate bad movie?
When we deal with institutions that serve the wel-being and welfare of millions of families - men, women, chidren and elderly, for generations to come, the issues surrounding such institutions have to be dealt with great deal of sensitivity and responsibility. One can't break the institutions as if they belong only to one person, one couple, one family and others be damned. That is why such subject matters are inappropriate for boliwood because it can never do full justice to them. We need to strenghten the bonds of love, marraige, parenting, family - and boliwood has been so good at it - and that is what it should stick to.
it is difficult to digest such an act of irrisponsibility from an educated and cultured human being. Dev and Rhea have a child and just becuase of non compatibility, how can they be so mean and selfish to get separated without giving a single thought for the future of a child ? There is much more to marriage than just liking/disliking your spouse. Difficult to digest the theme. sandeep
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna could have been a good movie. But Karan Johar made a hash of it. Infidelity is a serious theme, and there is no room for asinine humour (Black Beast? Good grief! Fat boy and his dad on park bench? Horrors!) he should have treated the theme with the gravity it deserved, and left out all the extraneous bits (yes, even Amitabh Bachchan) and concentrated on developing the strife between the couples, and given them concrete reasons to grow apart. Then he should have shown Shahrukh and Rani meet for the first time and be instantly attracted to one another (without pretending to be taking each other's help to save their marriages -- hullo, they didn't look that interested in it, to begin with!), fought the attraction because they didn't want to betray their spouses, but given in because the pull was too great, the guilty pleasure of it all,it would have rung true. After all, nobody jumps happily into unfaithfulness. And then it should have shown how Abhishek and Preity dealt with it, and how hurt they felt on being deceived. Infidelity is no laughing matter, but Mr Johar obviously does not know that, or he wasn't brave enough to treat a serious theme seriously.
If the characters of Abhishek and Preity had been shown as bad then it would have been a routine story. As Karan has said they were purposely shown as good to show that even a good spouse is not good enough if u dont love him/her. I think we should accept that point. I dont know why people are always writing about only this point as Karan has already clarified this (on TV shows, etc). And I think its very true. The message of the movie was good and it was very subtle, so many people did not understand it. In no way did KANK justify the end. The point was to send the meesage that that kind of end should be avoided by not marrying for the wrong reason.

In that case, girl will say I am looking for and ideal soul mate and guy will say the same. One day they will talk to each other and ask why aren't you married for so long(Just like Katrina asking Salman). Then both will reply that we were looking for an ideal mate and they were looking for same.
So according to you if you can not get perfect match then either look outside marriage or otherwise do not get marry and wait for right person. Tab tak kya Apna haath jagan nath karega".
The movie was an absolute mess. None of the characters knew what they wanted to do in life! Two complete losers fall in love with each other for no good reason.
And who selected this review in the top 10. Reviews shouldn't be biased.....I am sure the KANK team is paying rediff to pick only the best reviews.!
