Ki & Ka Review – Breaking age old conventions & social conditionings!
The female is Kia and the male is Kabir – Hence Ki & Ka.
About Male –
Son of a filthy rich real estate bizman. Father had a belittling attitude towards mother and thought she did nothing at home apart from sitting idle! Well, since they were filthy rich….there is not much that a wife does – apart from shopping, playing Mahjong, attending kitty parties etc….unless of course the Bizman was struggling during his youth and was surviving on measly salary – then the wife really comes handy – she buys food/ vegetables herself, washes utensils, clothes, cooks etc. – even then the members of the family think that she is not good enough! All the good-for-nothingness of the wife get further more exaggerated if there is a mother-in-law around (MIL hereinafter). You see many MILs cannot tolerate the fact that some unknown stranger female will come and have a good and comfortable time at her house! MILs often compare their days of youth with the present day and try to torture the daughter-in-law (DIL hereinafter) just as she was humiliated or tortured when she was a newly wed bride…anyways, I am diverting from the main story! Read on…
So Kabir had witnessed the humiliating attitude of his father since childhood and was very upset about it. He was intelligent in studies so he did manage to finish his MBA from a good Institute. But he did not want to join the rat race – he wanted a cushy job of a home-maker. He wanted to be a ‘WIFE’! wow!
About Female –
Kia had lost her father at a very young age. Her mother had to become both father and mother to the child – and we all know how important is money to run the family. Mother therefore gets busy with her profession…and of course also feeding & educating her daughter Kia. They lacked a man-figure in the house. Both of them had become males in the journey of life. Their house appeared as if it was hit by a tornado – unkempt and dishevelled! When Kabir had first visited their house, he even commented if they had a dog at home…..shows how terribly unkempt both the mother daughter were…in spite of a maid !
Story line-
So ka and ki meet, Ka tells about how he disrespects his father because all his life he had seen him disrespecting his mother! They go around, try out sex and were probably happy with the outcome of the sex-session…so they decide to get married. Mother of Kia confirms from daughter – right in front of Ka – whether she had had sex with him or not – which is very important for marriage commitment! Really !! So very modern outlook!! Triple WOW!! So the movie is trying to convey to the youths..and adults and the aged…that youngsters should be allowed to have sex before wedlock.
Like male A will have sex with female B – if they are not satisfied with each other sexually, male A will have sex with female C and Female B will try out sex with male D….then Male D, who had tried sex with female F, G & H…and had rejected them all because they were not sassy enough as compared to what he had been watching in triple X blue films, will recommend an orgy session with female B because he is really really confused about his sexual preferences! In the mean time male I, J and K decide to become gays because they had tried sex with female L,M and N and were bored to death with the females!…..phew! – the western world is so happy with ‘50 shades of grey’ …just give Indians a chance – they are capable of writing bloody billion shades of grey!!…..well thank God for small mercies…Indians are not all that good in English…else no Western author would ever have got a chance to become famous….
Anyways, they get married. Ki already had a beautiful flat but after all ka was the son of a rich bizman – he had picked up wasteful habits ..so he renovates the entire house and turns it into an 18th century railway station! Yuk! (I certainly would have kicked him out for this…..anyways pretty far fetched thought – I would never have agreed to such a stupid proposal…maybe because I have had a very normal childhood and I know the difference and importance of both father figure and mother figure in one’s life…..and my mother was a very dominating personality…. she dominated with love..and no one in his or her sane mind would ever meddle with the source of sheer, selfless, unconditional love!)
Maid Servant episode
There is a scene where the maid arrives and thinking that all the family members must have gone to office, calls over her boyfriend to have sex in the AC room! Ka did not drive her away….but politely asked her if she had changed the bed-sheets after having sex ! Wow! Such an understanding kewl dude….the AC is on for 3-4 hours as long as she works, she watches TV and even keeps the house unkempt (remember the 1st time kabir visited the house, it looked like a kennel?) and all that the master of the house..no mistress of the house…whatever – had to say was ‘Please change the bedsheets, Thankyou.’!! Gosh! Such creeps – devil knows what Bollywood tries to prove by showing such behaviour towards the wrong doer!
Ka had an amazingly ‘tight’ character (unlike dhila character that Bolly often shows)
If Ka wanted, he could have used the maid for sex…as we get to see so many Savdhaan India episodes showing exactly this nature of males! Plus he invites the neighbourhood females to teach them yoga and weight loss exercises….but he never had any lafda with anyone….pretty strange – like we have desperate housewives…so he could have easily been a desperate househusband!
Ki is disturbed because of pregnancy fear!
So basically Ki was too much into career – she wanted to become the CEO or president – whatever highest position she could reach. Pregnancy would thwart all her ambitions…unless of course Ka agreed to change his sex and fix up a uterus and do away with the testicles..then they would possibly taste parenthood…..or go for surrogate mother – like hire a poverty stricken female and make her go through the pregnancy pains! I must say surrogacy is such a respite for career oriented females….. they will never know any pregnancy problems and lo behold! a baby will be handed over to them…who would later to brought up by yet another illiterate poverty stricken maid! Wow woman!!..what an idea sirji!
Ki is jealous of Ka’s success as a home maker– so typically husbandly!
This film is basically a kick on the mouth of those women who consider it lowly to be a housewife and have joined the rat race…esp. to compete with men! Ka showed that recognition and fame, that humans hanker for, could be achieved by being a good home maker too! Ka starts making home cooked, healthy food videos and he becomes more famous than Ki. They fight…then make up at the end.
Story over.
