Kambakkht Ishq Review

Friday has for been the day when fates of movies are decided and this week it is Kambakht Ishq which has been one of the most anticipated big Bollywood releases this year. But this Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Kumar starer with a significant presence of Hollywood stars seems to have fallen flat on the ground as movie seems to lack in many aspects.
Primarily the storyline of the movie has been thrashed as quite silly. As per the plot, Kareena is a surgeon in the movie who tries to lure Akshay Kumar to the operation theater to retrieve her watch that she had left inside Akshay’s stomach the last time she operated him and consequently saved him. It seems it doesn’t have a story at all and many are of the opinion that no significant acting can be found in the movie. It was also much talked about due to the Hollywood glamor attached to it namely Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and Brandon Routh who had played real life roles in the film.
While some thrash the movie as a work of burlesque, its also been slammed as a movie crossing all boundaries of mimickery. Even the music that has been done by Anu Mallik is not been appreciated at all.
The movie has caught much attention in the last few months owing to its big budget of Rs.60 crore, it’s shooting in the famous Universal Studio in Hollywood and its multiple stunts that is Akshay Kumar’s forte. It’s now to see whether this movie in the coming days at all catches up in the box office or not.

The movie is not more that a garbage bag. It was more like a c grade movie.
The songs seemed , the the lyricist , musician and singer were made to wake up in the middle of night and record the songs. Comedy was out of place…. Vulgarity and cheapness was at its height and were unnecessary places. Sylvester stallone was made to act like a “Stallion” …giving much needed masala …and was just next to “Dharam paji of West”…
What to tell about the kisses… it seemed that Akshay did this movie just to kiss and prove it to Imran Hashmi .. Especially the last kissing scene were useless, it just showed lust and no love…Karina was sexy, amrita was sexy too in bikinies at least she is expert in that. Overall movie is not worth watching even on pirated dvd, forget multiplex….Luckily I got a free ticket for multiplex. And I am sure Akshay is surely moving right to the bottom….such a disaster.
Overall i shall give Kambakt ishq 1/2 *

I agree with Prithwish…..It was a good movie…worth watching….good songs…people are just talkin about storyline…well its comedy…u are supposed to laugh and make fun……they should watch an art movie if they are after a perfect storyline…..silliness is very common in comdey movies…for eg. the watch scene….
happens in hollywood as well…..
nothin is vulgar…..its just the new generation and the modern world…..
Don’t go with ur parents…if it bothers you…LOL
