[MENTION=6966]sam9s[/MENTION] I hate to say it again but I don't watch movies for how cool an idea it's working or how awesome the sound-effects were etc. I need a story, a well-told story to keep me engaged throughout the runtime.
And, this movie was offering a new concept, kind of a "how cool would it be?!" thing. BUT, was the one line message enough to make a movie? I guess not. More time should be spent on building a story.
Dude ... not to sound rude, but look whos talking, do you think any of SRK movie has any sense or direction or purpose or plot or in fact now a days entertainment as well, they are all bunch of garbage churning out nothing but garbage. I don't see movies for effects,.... God!!!! where did you get that notion ...... I say....... a movie does make a difference how it's viewed, where it's viewed, in which mood it's viewed and with whom it's viewed, all makes a difference, yes small, but it does count and makes a difference. A plot oriented movie, heavy on dialogue like "The Hateful Eight" (recent example) can be easily enjoyed on a regular TV with even mono sound. Did I ever say/asked to view this movie on a grand scale to enjoy it (I did review it). On the other hand movies with grand spectacle, imagery, soundtrack, CGI, vision, cinematography, epic scale music ...etc etc will be ruined, on a regular small screen with stereo sound. Or if ruined sounds too harsh, then at least will not be enjoyed as much as it would have if watched on a proper scale.
Thats my point.
I strongly condemn this notion that I do not watch movies for its plot or screenplay. Find any HINDI movie I have reviewed (barring very very few exceptions) where I have praised, or rated high any usual typical bollywood blockbuster, like you do for SRK or others do for Salman for that matter. Those are all garbage. Movies like ki n ka are at least still off the league and away from the usual masala Turd we keep getting form SRK and Salman and recently from Aamir too with DOOM 3. I appreciate that. As I said it's not groundbreaking or going to win any awards, but it's not half as bad as you make it to be, and same is the reason of me being reviewing it here, else I do not review Hindi movies unless it's a total crap for me or was exceptionally good.
PEOPLE, if you go back and search sam9s with bollywood movie 99% of the movies I have shared either have been exceptional to me or piece of SiHt nothing in between
This movie says nothing new, does nothing new. Reversed the role and went on usual way with usual problems.
Man working his ass-off and wife taking care of home. While all this time expecting that her husband would appreciate what she's doing or would take part in a few daily activities. Whereas the man weighs the whole thing as who's earning vs who's not.
Balki kept this situation identical but changed only the man-woman equation.
THAT was the whole point. Balki did NOT want to show only the problem that might be there coz of the reverse situation, he also wanted to show ... that EVEN THOUGH the situation might be reversed, the basic problem and ground reality of a working couple professional more or less remains same........ getting it .....and that is what couples should learn ......... its not who works and who takes care of the house that is imp, but how a couple balances things and how the true affection betweeen them makes a real difference,,, .... irrespective of who is the working lead and who is the house maker ..... I loved that approach.......
Again definitely not something award winning or groundbreaking but far from boring or worthless .....

hmmm. This movie is a bizarre peace offering in the battle of the sexes, that only manages to equally demean men and women.
Its bizarre, but in a perplexing manner, with a tone one should have the tenacity to appreciate ..... Not many will do ......
