KANK rings a warning bell

The Karan Johar movie KANK, has had some good after-effects, with couples today introspecting their own relationships. Quite evidently, the 'boldness' of the film in dealing with extra-marital relationships and 'justifying' it to an extent, has shaken up people.

For the troubled ones, I present here an excerpt from this article, which describes quite well, why people can't resist the allure of 'illicit':

"Love cannot exercise its powers on married people", because "lovers grant everything, mutually and gratuitously, without being constrained by any motive of necessity. Married people, on the contrary, are compelled as a duty to submit to one another's wishes." (as cited in Kakar and Ross, 2005, p.196)


So, ultimately it all boils down to the extent you are willing to be constrained within a marriage, and how happy you can be in it. The movie 'No Entry' may have a funny plot, but that's the reality of relationships today. But, exceptions abound and may be you are the lucky one there! So, like Anil Kapoor says, "Be positive yaar!"
