Plot Outline: Anand (Salman) is admitted to an asylum where Dr. Tanvi (Kareena), her father (Om Puri) & Dr. Sunil (Jackie Shroff) are psychiatrists. Tanvi learns of Anand's tragic past of his lover Maya's (Rimi Sen) death and the murder charge on him. Whilst helping his recovery, the two fall in love against the wishes of her father. The Official Website calls it "A passionate love story, twisted by fate at its imaginative best".

Comment: The story traces its lineage to Hollywood's 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' which Priyadarshan has portrayed in 'Thalavattam' (Malayalam) and 'Kyon Ki'. Although some called it a comedy, I would call it a tragedy. Jokes involving the mentally challenged are history. The melodramatic climax actually leaves the viewer nauseating. Character development is poor with lead pair's love and chemistry hardly noticeable.

Salman is bearable and Kareena though plump looks adorable in sarees. Om Purie, Jackie Shroff and Rimi are passable. Sunil Shetty's cameo was avoidable. Of the songs, 'Kyon ki itna pyar' and 'Dil Keh Raha Hai' are worthy. Priyadarshan could rather stick to comedies like Hungama or Garam Masala for better BO success.

Rating: 4/10

When watching this film, I thought the story and the songs were really nice and would be a film I would definitely recommend to anyone. It was really sad as well. I liked the acting and the actors as well. I also liked the book within the film. I would also say that this film really did show off Salman Khans great acting skills and comedic skills as well. In terms of Rimi Sen Kareena Kapoor, i would say Kareena and Salman seemed to go well, I would like to see them again together in another film. This is a film which i would watch again. I think the director did a really good job and should continue making films like this. I give this film 8.5 out of 10.

The less known about the plot the better for this movie. In brief, Anand (Salman Khan) is admitted to a mental hospital in a childlike state where he is treated by three doctors, Tanvi (Kareena Kapoor), Sunil (Jackie Shroff), and Dr. Khurana (Om Puri). His past is shown in flashback, and Rimi Sen plays Maya, Anand's love interest.

This fantastic drama is funny, touching, and sometimes shocking. Khan plays the childlike Anand excellently. Shroff and Puri give wonderful, believable performances. Kapoor is a bit stiff at times, but generally convincing. The music is good, with some lovely lyrics. Kapoor's costumes are beautiful. The plot is gripping, keeping the viewer interested throughout. Overall, it is a movie I would universally recommend.

#KyonKi 💙

I Remember The First Time I Watched This WHOLE Moviet Mental Scene as a Kid, I Was So Mad at Jackie Shroff, But as Time Passed I Understood Why He Did It!

And Salman Here 👌 Didn't Utter a Word, Just The Pain In His Eyes Brings Out The Tears, GEM ACTING!

Though the Priyadarshan directed KYON KI is a good movie (what i partically loved was the unconventional ending, Salman Khan's performance and of course Rimmi), if you want to see the difference between a good movie and an absolute classic than watch the original instead. Though Priyadarshan denied his film being a remake, it actually is. This movie is a remake of one of the three black and white movies Rajesh Khanna made in his career. I am talking about the Hemant Kumar produced and Asit Sen directed film KHAMOSHI. This film starred Rajesh Khanna, Dharmenra, Waheeda Rehman and Devan Varma. Music was by Hemant Kumar and the film has two great evergreen songs : WOH SHAAM KUCH AJEEB THI (by Kishore Kumar) and TUM PUKARLO (by hemant Kumar). Even the ending (though not a happy ending here either) is far better and more realistic then Kyon Ki.
