Karan Johar On KANK, RDB and His Future
Karan Johar is a confused man! The director can’t fathom the fact that he made a movie, which hasn’t been liked by the Indian audience. He blames the subject and thinks that the Indian audience is not ‘mature’ enough for such a subject. I wholly disagree, as movies in the past like Guide which have dealt with relationships outside marriages have been extremely successful. Anyways here are some excerpts from a recent interview:

Where you disappointed by its performance at the Indian boxoffice?
po.115361.jpg

I must confess I was. But it did more business than Kal Ho Na Ho all over India. I may have wanted the sun and moon with the stars. Maybe audiences were shocked with the content, or they didn't identify with the urban marital reality. Whatever the reason, yes it 's a disappointment in India. But overseas it my biggest film.

You were prepared for this.

I was . But I still wanted to be proven wrong. I wanted it to cross the collections of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. But it didn't happen. But I got such wonderful reactions from all quarters. How many films manage to provoke so much debate? Wives are angry, husbands are horrified and I'm happy.

What next?

You mean my next film? People ask me if I'm going back to feel-good cinema. But in my head I was never doing the same thing, feel-good or whatever, in my films. With KANK I didn't mean to do something path-breaking. If you ask me, Rang De Basanti attempted something path-breaking. The Oscar nomination is totally deserved. Imagine mixing Bhagat Singh with contemporary issues. Sheer genius! I've never put across a single thought on cinema as brave as Rang De…KANK was brave, but not brave enough. To be braver in my next film I've to feel the need for it. I can't just do it for the sake of it. I believed in KANK. Whether you like it or not is your prerogative. But I felt marriage as an institution was being misused. And I wanted to take a look at that. My job is done.

What about your soonapan of being single?

I love the fact that I'm single. I've my mother. She's my Miss World. Who needs another woman in my life? Why be married when I can be happy?

HI karan,

I enjoyed the movie KANK because it was so funny. But I guess that was not what it was to be. Couple of points:-

1. Please don't get Shahrukh khan to limp in a movie. He is more a Star than an actor to be able to carry off such a character description.

2. Sirji one needs a strong reason to stray from marraige....KANK didn't convince audience of the motive to stray. They can accept that from a Bhatt camp movie but not yours.

To conclude, I have a strong intuition that someone interfered with your story and you accepted it. You could have done a neater job by yourself.

Usha
