'People actually debate the issues raised in the film'
September 11, 2006
By the time KANK had its gala in Toronto, it had grossed about $3.2 million in North America and $4.1 million in the United Kingdom. In India, too, the film is doing very good business, though there are reports that many people were not comfortable with the subject of extramarital relationships.
And Johar had to address that question once again, especially when the moderator at the conference called him the newly minted marriage counselor.
The film has opened Pandora's box, Johar said. People have started discussing the moral issues in the film with the same fervency they discuss politics, he added. "In the case of my previous films, it was like -- We liked it, great film, great fun, or occasionally, I just hated it. But in the case of KANK, there were not just sharp opinions. People actually debate the issues raised in the film. It is not easy for everyone to grasp the conflicts and dilemmas. Marriage is a sacred institution in India and many people do not believe that it can be contentious too."
