Kavi, my comment to Jenny & Jigs based on purely based on the distaste for the movie not on any comparisons you might have made...It is quite understandable to draw comparisons between KANK though... I'll tell you why... And this is just for discussion purposes...The reason this story reminds you & some of us about KANK is b/c of La... As in KANK, Arnav is also a married guy like SRK & like Preeti who loved her husband, La also loves Arnav, even if it is in her convoluted way. For me, that's the biggest similarity... And just b/c La is married to him & loves him, in spite of everything she might have done wrong she sort of comes across as the victim here and is making people generate some, if not a lot of, sympathy for her...She is after all his legally wedded wife & who loves him on top of that, and that has a very honorable status in society, giving her all the rights over him... And to top it all, Arnav had desired her at one point, bought her a huge rock as an anniversary gift... Definitely makes her very likable, b/c she meets the criteria for a loving & at one point, a desired if not loved wife... That to me, is where the similarity ends with KANK.But the more likable she is getting, it is becoming harder to remember that La did not only kind of force Arnav to marry her, simply b/c she convinced herself that the child was his knowing very well Arnav's disinterest in her, but that she also fought with Arnav constantly & blamed Arnav for not loving Aarav b/c he was not his son & later blamed only Arnav for Aarav's death, completely ignoring the fact that even she herself was equally negligent of Aarav's safety. And since we haven't read their past completely we really don't know how else she fought with Arnav so we have this tendency to remember only that she loved Arnav & he had desired her at one point in time...So, I can completely understand the angle from which this can be interpreted... It is becoming hard for me too keep everything in perspective b/c of La now... 😆
