Kambakkht Ishq Movie Reviews

Bizarre has a new meaning and it's called KAMBAKKHT ISHQ. Of late, Akshay Kumar has earned the reputation of making you laugh in film after film. You expect KAMBAKKHT ISHQ, his new outing, to transport you to ha-ha-land, given the smart-n-chic promos of the film. KAMBAKKHT ISHQ belongs to the same family of films which have wooed the masses

The boy v/s girl battle of wits has been portrayed often on screen. Trust producer Sajid Nadiadwala to make it larger-than-life and add opulence to it in his new film Kambakkht Ishq directed by first-timer Sabbir Khan. The film has its inconsistencies but the crazy proceedings give you little time to delve over them. Khan tries to jump on the David Dhawan-Anees Bazmee bandwagon

Goons chase the heroine. She is cornered. You expect the hero to jump out of thin air and save his girl. But nothing of the sort happens. Enter, instead, a man in a hood. No one gives him a second look. Till that hood drops. Eye of the Tiger starts playing in the background and Sylvester Stallone lands nine killer punches like only Sylvester Stallone can. The heroine, Kareena of course, gives him a peck

At the onset, we would like to clarify that we love low brow. Because low brow can be fun. Because low brow can be a great escape. Because low brow can be therapeutic. And because low brow can be perfect paisa vasool. Proof: Haven't we given a howlarious thumbs up to films like Golmaal, Singh is Kinng, Welcome, No Entry and almost all of David Dhawan's films.

As the gay community celebrates a long overdue judgement, Indian cinema too displays its special brand of “inclusiveness”. A week after the serious New York released, comes the totally ludicrous Kambakkht Ishq, which is set in good old Hollywood. While New York relied on logic and fact to grapple with new world terrorism and identity issues, Kambakkht Ishq bets on double entendres and buffoonery

Let's face it. We like mindless comedies, innuendos, and slapstick humour. Proof: No Entry, Welcome, Singh is Kinng. But not everyone can entertain while being loud. And that's why Kambakkht Ishq, starring Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor, is as far from entertaining as the North Pole is from the South. The story has nothing to talk about. Akshay is commitment-phobic rock star of a stunt-man

If an American were to scratch his chin and look scrutinisingly at Bollywood, perhaps the best way to explain the Akshay Kumar phenomenon would be to label him India's answer to Will Smith. Both September-born superstars are athletic alpha males, earn the biggest packages, have fantastic comic timing, are armed with irrepressible raw charm

How much you enjoy Kambakkht Ishq is directly proportionate to just how low your standards have fallen. This battle-of-the-sexes saga starring Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor is a loud, vulgar and seriously offensive film that has reportedly been made at a price of Rs 60 crore. In that much money, you could feed an entire starving nation. And you'd be blessed for it.

I feel exhausted. This film has drained me of my time, tolerance and energy.So here you have Akshay Kumar playing a character he has now begun to sleepwalk through. He is Viraj, a stuntman in Hollywood who is surrounded by 'hot' (the writer's love this word which appears at least 10 times in the film) women until he meets the constantly angry, man-hating Sim (Kareena Kapoor).

Kambakkht Ishq, say news reports, will take a great opening. The marketing blitzkrieg over the past few weeks, a star-studded cast (we're talking Hollywood here) and the fact that it's the first big-budget Hindi film after a long time, will ensure it. So, people will swarm the theatres in the first few days -- the producer, to maximise profits, would release the film in every theatre
