The film was released on Friday, August 12 amid high expectations. I watched the first show at Eagle Theatre in Jackson Heights, New York with my wife and relatives.The songs are nice. Its has a surprisingly large multi-star cast than shown above on the poster.
The story at the end tends to drag on. One feels like telling the director to put an end to the trauma. Amitabh's role was superfluous and did not fit his age and persona.
All in all, I would give it ** out of *****.

But all in all the story of this film appeared to be disaster..as one should tell the film will only survive bcos of the songs...
Brevity is not alwayz the soul of wit…I think the comment or critic on KANK is too short…..since I belong to a different generation my views about KANK is different …Amitab bachans role is not irrelevant but food for thought for the new generation as an old man and a father of a young man…he had to keep himself preoccupied in an increasingly fast moving world where we have lost respect for our elders and we give very little space to our elders to guide our life….we do not involve them in out day to day activities which is called generation gap..
Rest of the movie is an attempt to problemtise the growing tension our society is confronted with…it is the movie that forces us to reflect on our new social values and think about the past values …out of these tensions, perhaps we will be able to strike a balance if we want a stable family life….freedom cannot be unlimited…it too has its boundaries…therefore we need to deconstruct the problematic of freedom so forcefully being imposed upon us in the name of freedom by the west…
In short KARAN JOHAR deserves full marks for problemtising the social ethos of a post modern Asian society which is blindly following the west..
I saw the movie. I thought it was pretty good. But could be much better.
The humor in the movie is for audiences outside India. I skeptical how the audience in South Asia will react to it.
I think Amitabh role, silly as it was, wasn't even needed. It seems as if his role was added to the script after the script was finalized.
