Featured reviews
Main Aurr Mrs Khanna tries to talk about love and loyalty but ends up feeling confused and bland. With a dull script, weak direction, and little emotional impact, it's a film you can easily skip - unless you're a hardcore Salman or Kareena fan.
The film's pacing is slow, and the narrative lacks spark. There's very little chemistry between the lead characters, and the emotional conflicts feel superficial. Even the music, which usually helps lift a romantic film, is largely forgettable.
Visually, the film looks polished with decent cinematography, but good visuals can't make up for a flat story. Despite the presence of big stars, the movie doesn't leave any lasting impression.

The Salman Khan At Its Best The Salman Khan Show All Over Story Bad But Salman Acting Is Awesome This Film only credit goes to Salman Khan.
Watching a romantic comedy from Bollywood is a bit like reading a novel written entirely in purple-prose. Whether comical or sentimental, every emotion is ramped up to roof-rattling volume, with the endless song-and-dance sequences serving as parenthetical expressions, and the grating, out-of-control soundtrack adding what is the sonic equivalent of exclamation points along the way.
"Main Aur Mrs Kanna" - a seriocomic tale of a rocky marriage and a third-party friend who tries moving in on the wife - features all the accoutrements listed above and then some, meaning that if this sort of thing is your cup of tea, you might indeed enjoy the experience. If it isn't, it's probably best to just pass it on by.

I don't understand why people make such films.If i said waste of money and time is not enough(Though there are more painful films like "Blue" released in the same week). Salman and Karina's "Kyun ki.." Creates some expectation about this film.
Its a film about love life and complications around it. Mr and Mrs khanna who lived in Melbourne face some financial crisis which creates lot of problem in their life..Mr khanna went to Singapore.. another person enters into Mrs khanna's life(as a friend)..Mr Khanna comes back..Problems...happy ending. In first 15 min u can guess the whole story(if there is any).
Acting is below average. Music average.. Salman again proves that he is a poor chooser of films.Thumbs down for Mr Prem Soni for making such films.Not recommended..

This is not a film I can recommend. For the record, I fled during the interval. Ever since his first notable appearance in Maine Pyaar Kiya (his debut, if I recall correctly, was in another film), Salman Khan has always been a Star, inspiring millions of fans- of both sexes- to dizzying heights of frenzy. Yet- and this is a fact even his fans, should they decide to look at things objectively, would find difficult to deny- he doesn't have the faintest clue about acting.
His directors- Sooraj Badjatya and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, to name two- have always known this: in two of his biggest best films (Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam etc.) all his characters are required to do is to look dashing, smile and make at least one big selfless sacrifice; they are, however, rarely expected to act.
In Wanted: Dead or Alive (playing in theaters now), Mr Khan does an Arnold, not an Aamir (a la Ghazni): actions speak louder than words. Not only does he not have many dialogues to deliver but his role doesn't even require him to appear romantic (the wooing, in this case, is also left to the girl so that he can get on with the more important business of disposing the villains in highly imaginative and bloody ways). Likewise in his comedy films, in which he is part of a larger ensemble, loud slapstick (scatological jokes and farts not excluded) compensates for the lack of acting.
Having said that, all of these films have worked- marvelously so- not despite but precisely because of this: people don't go to a Salman Khan film to see acting; they go to worship their Star. And that- more than anything else- is the reason for Mr Khan's iconic success. It's a pity then that his own brother, Sohail Khan, who acts and directs this film, doesn't seem to realize this. By putting the burden of acting on the Star, he has ended up making a very bad film, which rather than celebrating his brother's stardom only ends up bringing out his deficiencies as an actor. Even Ms Kapoor seems to realize this: she is quite the misfit in this company of complete non-actors, and I couldn't help feeling that the only reason she did this role was as a personal favor to the Khan fraternity.
Even Mr Khan's die-hard fans might be slightly disappointed: his efforts at acting make him look tired and it is all to clear that India's Star has, like the rest of us, grown old. Worse, attempts to disguise this fact with a hair-transplant and bigger biceps only tend to make him look hopelessly desperate.
Perhaps Main Aurr Mrs Khanna will make him realize the virtues of aging gracefully à la Amitabh Bachchan & c- and much more importantly, help him come to terms with the fact that it's too late for him to be taking up acting. Mr Khan would do well to remember that once a Star, always a Star- and if he does try to act, then all that film might hope to get is One Star (on a 5-star rating scale)!
