It is widely agreed that KANK is indeed one of the most debatable - and debated - films in the recent times. However, it is not, nor is it meant to be, controversial.

It is a look, mind you - a look - into an all too common phenomenon in modern society, the break down of a marriage. People seem to think that Karan Johar is making a statement about marriage and extra-marital relationships in this film.

When asked what message KANK is trying to convey, Shah Rukh Khan said, "See, in 3 hours you can't convey a message; in fact no movie can. The maximum that you can do is convey a point of view. If you look at my character, he is someone who limps while walking, has a failed career, doesn't have a very happy marriage and finds love outside it. Now KANK tells his point of view based on the circumstances impacting him."

He is then asked if it is realistic, "Ok, so you may not think that this is something from your own life. It may not even be a story about someone whom you know or lives next to your house. But then there are good chances of someone down the street in a remote corner who may have gone through similar circumstances. KANK is a story from that person's point of view!" says Shah Rukh frankly.

A point well made!
