Featured reviews
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.

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!

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

Kyon Ki is known to be one of the best emotional performances given by Salman Khan after films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Tere Naam. The film might be a remake but the execution here is perfect and the performances by the lead cast is brilliant.
Salman Khan is flawless in each and every scene, one of his best performances till date. Rimi Sen is excellent in her short role. Kareena Kapoor gives a decent performance. Jackie and Om Puri are very good. This is one of the few movies during which you get tears in your eyes while watching and the ending will almost make you cry.
All in all I would recommend every one to watch this movie and if you are a Salman Khan fan and you haven't seen it, you have missed one of his best performances..
