Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna |
Maya is disinterested in her marriage right from the day of her marriage. We wonder why she marries Rishi when she's full of doubt about the marriage. Give us a break, she is a 21st century girl living in the US of A. When she has no qualms about entering into an extra-marital affair with Dev in the latter part of the film, why doesn't she take a stand against the marriage or at least stall it for a while. There is no passion in the marriage although Rishi loves her wholeheartedly. Now this seems too far-fetched.
It's impossible, especially for a woman, to remain unaffected by a decently attractive human being who showers so much love on her. Anyway, we understand Rishi's wrath when she's unresponsive to him in bed. But the best part is, she's the one who goes looking for love and passion outside her marriage instead of him.
Cut to Rhea. She too has problems with Dev and has enough distractions in her work place to indulge in an extra-marital affair. But she's too tied up with her work and ambition to do it. So we're left with Dev and Maya who look like they have no occupation in life. So most of their time is spent together sipping coffee or discussing why their marriage has failed. We still sympathize with Dev but Maya? Here Karan Johar is really proving a point that people with lots of money and time go looking for relationships outside their marriage. In a way, the film is also sending out a wrong message to married couples.
