I saw Rocky aur Rani KI Prem Kahaani last night and loved it don't know what people think abt hum but this movie was all out entertainment balls to the walls loved it this is what I feel Bollywood stands for
Problem with KANK is that at the time of its release, it was totally overhyped as some extremely mature movie about extramarital affairs. They even tried to sensualize the whole thing. The movie wasn't that. It was about some weird love story of two irritating characters. Half the audience was there in the theatres for some steamy love affairs and there wasn't any steam.
Hahaha irritating characters is right - never disliked Srk in such a way, he was outright abusing his kid emotionally. And Preity also had too much style and too little substance. That being said, this was the era of faking progressive coolness. Sex was still toooo serious for the audience
KJo has admitted that the casting of KANK went wrong. Rani-Abhishek had too much pre-existing chemistry, where Kajol-Abhishek would have just felt wrong.
It’s nothing to do with chemistry, more to do with its writing, screenplay and lack of realism. They could’ve showed staleness in a marriage in ranis wedding and genuine sparks with her relationship with SRK. The length and excessive crying didn’t help.
I think the framing is important when it comes to unlikeable characters. In marriage story, both Scarlett and Adam’s characters are introduced with a heartfelt letter of appreciation that one writes about the other. So you step in the story with a lot of empathy for both characters. So even when they say terrible things to each other, you know they aren’t bad people- it’s just a terrible situation. We get nothing like this in KANK- you meet them and they are horrible right away.
thats not true. they are bitter for a reason. dev becomes bitter after his accident. maya is bitter because she is in a marriage she is not happy in plus she cant have kids.
I remember watching it in theaters with college friends, and being the only one who actually liked the movie because I have always loved Shahrukh in negative roles. My friends were expecting the romantic Shahrukh and were bitterly disappointed
Karan has broached some of the taboo subjects of his time wrapped in expansive romanticism, as for the humour he's not the only one guilty of tangential comedic subplots; that was par for the course through the 90s at least.
1:08:30 Urjta, it makes no sense to compare Rani's character in this movie to Kajol's character in MNIK because the writing and the characterizations of these 2 characters are different. Kajol's character in MNIK, Mandira was shown to power through and be a spunky character because thats how her character was written. Rani's character in KANK, Maya was not like that because that's not how the character was written. Her character was written to be a vulnerable, sad, confused mess. She was not written to be a spunky character like Mandira in MNIK. So, Kajol playing Maya would not have been much different from how Rani played it unless they changed the writing of the character. As a movie reviewer, you should know this!
Note to editor : The next time you cut out parts where urjita is doing animated funny reactions to ABBAS's HEAD !!!!!, I will find you and confront you... and also un-subscribe Also , after all the Bawaal bashing in this video and many such other videos ... I actually really liked the film, is there a community for people like us.. or maybe alternate universe
No I don’t think maya was aroace considering the way she was madly in love with Dev. He completely changed her life and personality as she was happy and romantic after she met Dev so yeah
You got it wrong urjitha..Karan in his real life loved a girl so badly and she did not see him that way like anushka in yeah dil..so he kinda punished her in the movie..so puny guy
Life in a metro, covered the same issue, set in Mumbai, in the same year.
A year later lol

Kank connected where gehraiyan completely failed. Also it was the highest grossing overseas grosser of India crossing k3g's record
I disagree. I don't think Gehraiyan was about infidelity, It was about money and people's relationship to it.
@@kartmaneric5392 it was about infidility too
Urjita.. The way she's phasing in and out with the background throughout.. I was only thinking that someone is messing with the timeline 😂

lol lies.
@@dia606 but there was a sex scene
Kabhi alvida na kehta is one of the best movies for kjo. Srk played the most anti rahul role to perfection. So amazing
Watched KANK again and the kind of person Dev is, even his relationship with Maya won’t last as well

why is it wrong they had too much pre-existing chemistry?
@@RajuAhmed-sy7ys they did show that

And regarding aged well, kank is probably the movie to be ahead of its time. So definitely aged well
It really wasn't. The main characters were extremely unlikable.
I really need a Bawaal review!!
This is great!! Do om shanti om next
Any guest suggestions?
Best show...maza aagaya
Please do one on Wake up Sid and Yeh Jawaani hai deewani
That National Anthem in K3G was cringe at that time also. I felt why it is there in the movie, and I was 13 at that time.
Yea cringe now but I cried then.. I'm not an NRI but was a very patriotic kid. I totally understand why it's there in the movie..
You guys didn't talk about srk performance for a whole one hour although it is the main highlight of the movie
Virtual again?! I liked the studio :/
Superfunny Urjita ... "USB daal ke" 😂😂😂
Karan has broached some of the taboo subjects of his time wrapped in expansive romanticism, as for the humour he's not the only one guilty of tangential comedic subplots; that was par for the course through the 90s at least.
Why is Urjitas sexy sam expression missing in video ???
When we talk about Karan Johar we don't give him enough credits for his film making talent. We never talk about his film My Name Is Khan.
Does Urjita have green screen behind her?
what happend to their studio please someone tell me 😢
Hi, there was a fire in the studio building. It's being renovated. Nobody was hurt.

What was the point of Amitabh Bachchan in the film? Unnecessarily extended the length of the film.

I have a love-hate relationship with the movie. HOWEVER, Maya can be read as Aroace.
No I don’t think maya was aroace considering the way she was madly in love with Dev. He completely changed her life and personality as she was happy and romantic after she met Dev so yeah
28:42 he has inbuilt GP-Ass

This was hard to watch with Urjita constantly interrupting & speaking over the other two. Please wait your turn to speak, Urjita!
Hey the internet lag makes it difficult to gauge these overlaps. So sorry about that though!
@@urjitawani. Hopefully you’ll are back in the studios soon. I’m sure the camaraderie is always better in person anyway!
I have only one problem with this podcast. U r all working from home when my manager is forcing me to come to office.
UUURRJJJJAAAAA! USB @01:02:02! Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa @01:06:37! WoW!
Rani's character kept crying in second half. Horribly written. Or rather I should say underwritten.
Urjita is so unfunny
Average movie
