InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

yaldamoghaddami I really do ُnt know why this movie has a rating like 5/8.Kank was not a great film but its better than 5/8.(maybe 7/4)Why I liked:Music:I think after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai the music of Kank is the best in Karan Johar ُs movies.(as a director)The song"Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" is the best song.I think "Tumhi Dekho Naa" was a little like "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" (song) and "Rock n Roll Soniye" is a little like "Shava Shava" in "K3G". Karan Johar can control the actors and most of he scenes. Performance:Kank is like K3g.full of superstars.but all of them have a great performance.I think Kank has one of the best ensemble cast in Hindi films.SRK:A lot of SRk ُs fans don ُt like this movie because of his character.He is Dev Saran.when you are watching Kank you must forget KKHH,K3G,DDLJ,KHNH,DTPH and all of the kind,good and comedy characters of him.He is not an idiot lover in KKHH,or even an obsessive lover in Darr.He has a special performance.He makes Dev Saran real and if you like SRK ُs positive character maybe you do ُnt like Dev Saran.Rani Mukherjee:I ُm happy that Kajol rejected Kank.because even her appearance is not suitable for Maya ُs character.Rani has an innocence face but she can be a traitor too.Rani can talk with her eyes.I don ُt like her but she has a good performance.Preity Zinta:Preity has 4 movies with Srk but it ُs clear that they are not good for each other!Because of this maybe she was the best choice for Rhea ُs role.she ُs beautiful and suitable for a fashion magazine. i think it ُs one of Preity ُ s best performances.Abhishek Bachan:The best actor of the movie.He and Amitabh Bachan are only funny characters.Rish ُ s angry face,kind face,comedy face and his love fr Maya.Abhishek can do all of these. Amitabh Bachan:He and SRK have problem with each other?(in movies)at first "Mohabbatein" that Amitabh was fighting with Srk.Then K3g and now Kank.but in Kank they had a better relationship than to previous movie. i thin Samarjeet don ُ t like Dev.Amitabh is amazing and makes you laugh in the most of scenes.Kiron Kher:she was ُ nt so important but she was good too.Characters:the characters were real,believable.they were ُ nt far or they were ُnt from another planet.They were near and I could understand them.None of them was white or black.all of them are gray.none of them was innocence,all of them had their fault.Dev was the darkest character and Rishi was the lightest.all of the characters failed.all of them had a part in their personality that wants to finish everything.but only Dev and Maya found that part.They are not as complete as their spouses because of this ,they feel bad about their marriages.Why I didn ُ t like:story,story and story!treason is not a bad story but it was bitter and different by Indian ُs culture.the hotel scene between Dev and Maya was not necessary. the story was real but usually people are not as lucky as these characters.you can leave your spouse for someone else!then...what happened?everybody forgives you and you can be happy with that one!Rishi married again Rhea found someone else,Dev and Maya reunited each other.Then what can we hear?"the foundation of marriage should be love not something else."It ُs right the way of showing this was wrong.the story is the happiest style of treason.But sometimes it can ُt be like this.9/10.

museumofdave I've been spoiled by the great fun I generally have vicariously tripping along with the lively, puckish spirit of Shahrukh Khan, that whirling dervish with seemingly unlimited energy who can change from laughter to tears in seconds. The problem with this film is that he seldom gets to laugh, and then only through tears. Also remarkable is that early on there is an accident(no spoiler here--it happens in the first ten minutes) which not only slows down the film, but which had me wondering if this is a way for Khan to gracefully edge out of musical fare. Otherwise, there are six wonderful actors who are mainly called upon to feel the pain of separation or sympathize with it...and it does go on. A few lavish dance numbers, but done in a noisy disco-mod style with little charm. Brilliant colors, nice costumes, lots of spoiled folks living lavishly--but lacking the verve and life usually inherit in the quality Bollywood product.

Chrysanthepop Like an Expensive Melodramatic Indian Soap Opera In New York Karan Johar attempts to make a 'so-called mature' movie but the handling of the themes and the storytelling is very amateur. Many of the comedic sequences, especially the silly ones like 'black beast' (racist?) were cringe inducing. Much of the dialogues are the kind you would hear in soap operas. The characters are poorly written. Rhea is supposed to be a strong woman who loves her job and family and while her quality time with family is limited, her excuse to Dev is that she's 'forced' to be the 'man' of the family? This is not the kind of thing one would hear a strong independent woman say. Then there's Maya, who is also a strong character and yet she lets herself be treated so harshly by Dev. Sexy Sam is quite a pathetic caricature blend of a sleazy Casanova-type old hag (who only seems to sleep with white girls that are about 40 years younger than him) and the loving father who's there for his son and whatever. The last hour is so laughable because of the sheer awfulness in execution, acting and writing. Johar's direction lacks aim and focus while his script seriously lacks consistency. The overall soundtrack is far from memorable but two songs are quite beautiful: 'Tumhi Dekho Na' (artistically shot) and 'Mitwa'. Not surprisingly, the background score is heavily intrusive. Shahrukh Khan pretty much overacts in every single one of his scenes. Dev isn't supposed to be likable nor sympathetic but the way Khan plays him is frustrating to the viewer especially with his overdone expressions and measured tone of voice. In my opinion, this is perhaps Rani Mukherjee's worst performance to date. She fails to demonstrate the complexity and depth of Maya and could someone ask Rani or Johar why Maya keeps crying so much? Abhishek Bachchan tries to be funny and charming but he's not entirely convincing which, unintentionally, makes it easy to understand why Maya doesn't want him. Amitabh Bachchan is incredibly irritating as Sexy Sam (though he is not as bad as Khan) but otherwise he does a fine job in a number of sequences, especially the ones with Kiron Kher. Kher is quite superb as the grounded mother and Sam's confidant. Preity Zinta stands out as she delivers an impressively restrained performance with grace and élan. She easily steals the show from Bachchan, Khan and Mukherjee.It's interesting that Johar has attempted to tackle a mature contemporary theme and even though he failed, I think his intentions were sincere. Perhaps, this is a path Johar shouldn't tread yet.

rkris2004 In France, they would have hanged Karan Joker by a lamp post. Anyone who likes this movie should have their head examined. All these people are great actors in a way. They act as if they are actors, but all they are is a bunch of money grubbing pimps and whores. They will do any movie for money. Forget about giving anything back to the industry which gave you so much. Hey Karan Joker, you want to do some good to Bollywood ? Eat a bullet. I feel like I have been violated. This guy has a talent for making people throw up. What a waste of foreign exchange. Freedom of expression is great but this movie falls in the same category as hate speech.
