Story: The story is not clear even after 1 full season. Iron Fist is supposed to guard path of Kun-Lun but Danny (now Iron Fist) escapes and comes to New York. He finds his biggest enemy here. Well. this is the main story. I'm sure the comics must have had some good story-line but the TV-show sure failed to stay on a particular track. Rather trying to be smart made a hotch-potch of multiple subplots. Neither of the subplots provide enough clarity on what is going on, nor help establishing the big crisis.
Character Development: Danny/Iron Fist should have been in focus and he was but his character was not given enough solid background. I mean, this is the origin story of 'Iron Fist' and we hardly see any such background story. What is the point of making an origin story then?!
His character hardly shows struggles of modern world coming from a remote monastery. He used to drive a bullock-cart but can manage an Aston Martin without any hiccups. Proficient in internet, tablets. bank account transactions all. How, how the hell it is possible?!!
We are reminded in each episode that he was away for 13 years but the gap does not seem to make any impact on him.
I've read in once review that the character "Daughter of Dragon" deserves her own spin-off show. I'm in full agreement with that. Given a scenario where her spin-off and 'Iron fist' airing at same time I might opt for the spin off.
Then comes the clueless connection between all i.e. Claire Temple. She went away from Daredevil in fear of her life and increasing complexity of the situation and then willingly travels with Danny to China to capture Madame Gao!!! Are you fcuking kidding me?!
Action: This was supposed to be about a hero who is the final word on martial art but 'Finn Jones' can't fight. Seriously, take Colleen in the role of 'Iron Fist' she fights better than him. I mean, in the whole show everyone fights better than 'Iron Fist'.
Verdict: I'm a comic book fan. I know that I must not look for logic in such shows/stories but at least do some good in any department. A poor story in an 'action' based show can easily be forgiven with the help of some marvelous action. We didn't even get that. A good Kung-Fu choreographer is what I recommend to the makers of this show.

In the era of experimental movies, this movie on a tried and tested theme is like a breath of fresh air.
We've seen a lot of movies on the theme of "unrequited love". Probably we've seen all variations concerning it but the treatment Karan Johar did here is yet to be seen by me.
Imtiaz Ali may be surprised how he missed this aspect of love. Coming back to topic, this movie not only looks at love from a different angle but tests friendship too on a different parameter. I liked the theme and treatment, well may be at times a bit cheesy and you might know this already as it's KJo's movie.
This could be a second coming for Ranbir, leaves a lingering taste of "Rockstar" watching him here. Anushka did very well and Aishwarya is ravishing. Just gorgeous. With growing age different grace and aura is showing on her face. This makes her even more beautiful and Karan most of he time did justice to here by letting her express via eyes only.
SRK charmed in the brief 2 min role and Fawad got all the hype for no reason at all.
All in all, if melodrama does not disgust you, go for it. You may just enjoy it.

This is a mindless comedy. Lacks logic, lacks sense but would make you laugh for sure.
Most of the heavy lifting was left to Kapil and he tried and tried very hard. Even his one liners was not enough to save this movie. Even if everyone had given an Oscar wining performance, this would still be bad nonsense movie. At times it would be those one liners that would make you re-think of not leaving the theater halfway of the movie.
Let me tell you one more thing that would help you to decide if you should go for this.
Have you seen "Sajan chale sasural" ? If yes, you've seen the best movie of this genre. Have you seen "Garam Masala" (Akshyay and John)? If yes, you have seen the crappiest movie of this genre.
"Kis kis ko pyaar karu" falls in between of these two.
It's bad, it's nonsense but could just make you laugh those two and half hours.
