And, here's why I liked MNIK...

For the simple theme of love, which is not retarded, the kinds one believes in the growing-up years. Not the kinds which later regresses into retarded love of superfluous relationships and passing whims. The V-day generation, take a walk!

I think the movie does a lot of justice to the idea of man-wife relationship, and why things can work out. Well, even if the Prez of US is not involved, things can work out, can't they? Yes, that's the bit, I found v v v hard to digest. The largerrrr than life bit, but that's okay cos even Harry Potter made history, right?

Moving on, to be fair to K-Jo, as he is commonly called, he infuses a lot of colour and immaturity in his screenplays, but this one he did differently. I picked up a few lines on my way home, 'cos I liked them, pure and innocent, as they come. And, may I also add, I liked KANK for the screenplay too.

And, finally, to SRK's acting, job well done. I don't know about Asperger's syndrome much, and I do give him the benefit of doubt, despite some inconsistencies.

A fair review, well balanced. You give credit where it is due and also precisely point out the flaws. Looking forward to some more of this kind!
