R Balki’s role-reversal formula does not seem to have worked with the audience even though there was a strong buzz around the movie. The movie has managed to earn just around Rs. 7.30 crore on its first day.

Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the box office numbers of the first day collections.
#KiAndKa Fri ₹ 7.30 cr. India biz… Sat + Sun biz is crucial to deliver a healthy weekend total.

Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote: “With ‘Ki and Ka’, Bollywood has got to the point of being able to place a man willing to be home, knuckle down to dull domestic chores, and wave the flag for ambitious women and progressive men. So hurrah for Ka and Ki and Balki? Yes, but only up to point. The film is fun when it is setting up the roles. But the execution, as it goes along, gets rocky. Much of it stays episodic, and starts reinforcing the very stereotypes it set out to negate. And so much of the writing is so explicatory that you begin wondering if the filmmakers really take their viewers for People Who Do Not Understand Anything Unless It Is Underlined Thrice Over.” (Ki and Ka movie review: Kareena’s character is spot on, Arjun is victim of confusion)
