KARAN JOHAR’S multi-starrer KANK grossed 72cr in its 1st week of worldwide release.
Although having a storyline that’s not been appreciated by everyone, the movie now targets cracking all the overseas records (these days – the strategy of bombarding screens with a large number of prints).
(PVR Hyderabad has 2 screens running the show at the same)
Quick walk-through/summary of the movie:-
Story begins with Rani (Maya) getting married to her childhood friend Abhishek (Rishi). SRK (Dev) actually just hops in before the wedding and gives her a hint that its better to marry/live with someone whom you love, instead of someone whom you don’t love –
even if your already married. Well that’s what happens at the movie where Dev & Maya come out of their married life and stay together. But all this “liking-ness” between both of them starts off when they start sharing a friendship to help each other out in sorting out their unhappy married lives. On a lot of occasions its shown as though Karan Johar goes on to prove that its better (atleast hoping in the Indian context) to stay back with the person you’ve married, but the exactly opposite happens. Both Abhishek and Preity get together to unite the lovers (what crap!!!).
Few special moments of sheer class is seen, especially in Amitabh’s yearly party scene. However there’s absolutely nothing in Big B’s role in fixing the relationships (In which case I think the movie would have been an absolute cracker)
Movie plot is something that can get criticized a lot, but some are gonna say it’s pretty common these days for Indians settled there to get into extra-marital affair(s).

The movie leaves a lot to be desired where the script is concerned but it is a good commercial hindi movie and it would not be surprised if it is a hit.

Just take of 2 things while watching the movie:
1. Dont sleep over to the next show
2. Go out for a brisk walk during the interval, to avoid DVT
