PERFORMANCES: The film totally belongs to Arjun Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Arjun Kapoor is mighty impressive in the film and has carried the film on his strong shoulders. He gives a balanced performance and never goes overboard.Kareena Kapoor Khan on the other hand looks perfect as the strong head corporate lady. She has stayed away from her usual glamorous look in this film and yet looks stylish. She has portrayed the character of an ambitious woman brilliantly.The veteran actress Swaroop Sampat exudes the same freshness as ever. Her endearing screen presence and persona simply lights up the screen every time she appears. Here, a special mention should also go to Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan.Though the couple play themselves in the film, they manage to impress thoroughly in their cameo. The scene with the Bachchans is among the best parts of the film.

MUSIC: composed by Ilaiyaraaja, Meet Brothers, Mithoon.The songs ,"Foolishq", "Ji Huzoori" are melodious but "High Heels" & "Most Wanted Munda" are catchy number.

The storyline is quite innovative.The best part about the screenplay is that it just does not come across as superficial at any point.2nd half of the film is little slow.

Overall,Ki & Ka is a cleverly crafted feel-good film that packs all the emotions & surely watchable.
