Ki & Ka
Ki & Ka (English: Hers and His) is an Indian
romantic comedy-drama film written, directed, and produced by R. Balki. The
film follows a young, married couple contradicting the gender roles placed upon
women and men in Indian society. It stars Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor.
The movie has an interesting plot. A young couple's
marriage challenges the gender roles placed upon men and women in Indian
society. The film starring Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor talks about the
notions of Indian society regarding a working wife and house-husband. 'Ki and
Ka' tries to break that set mould of the society. This romantic-drama will see
Kareena as an ambitious marketing manager of a firm while Arjun will be seen as
a supporting house-husband who wants to stay away from ambitions and be more
like his mother. Ki and Ka speaks of a story where Kareena Kapoor wears the
‘pants’ in the relationship while her lover Arjun Kapoor is content handling
the house. Househusbands are a rare breed in India. In this movie you will see
a man whose only ambition in life is to take care of his house while his wife
brings in the money home. Such role reversals are barely seen in the very
patriarchal India. Thus the movie narrates the love story spun between Kareena
and Arjun skilfully woven through role reversals. From displaying Arjun
chopping vegetables to him shying away from sex citing exhaustion even as
Kareena demands it (of course Arjun finally gives in), Ki and Ka beautifully
packs all things needed for an entertaining watch.
The film has Kareena Kapoor as Kia, Arjun Kapoor as
Kabir, Swaroop Sampat, Rajit Kapur, Amitabh Bachchan (cameo) and Jaya Bachchan
(cameo).
The soundtrack album features songs composed by Meet
Bros Anjjan and Mithoon for the T-Series label besides having an original song
composed by Balki's regular collaborator Ilaiyaraaja, who has also composed the
background score of the movie. Lyrics have been penned by Kumaar, Amitabh
Bhattacharya and Sayeed Quadri.
The film has songs like "High Heels", "Ji
Huzoori", "Most Wanted Munda", "Foolishq", "Pump
It (The Workout Song)" and "Kabir Most Wanted Munda".
