aftr CC2C and tasveer 8x10,I expected a gud scripted movie with a lot of drama and full of the skills of acting tht the cast of this movie has...
the love and hate relationship between A stuntman (akki) and a so called super model who actually is a sergion(Bebo) described in a such a way tht sometimes I felt tht this movie is gonna be the hope for bollywood aftr the multiplex crisis for $$$$$...1st half is awesome and i'm gonna buy the DVD for tht mindblowing acting of akki with a gud sense of humour timing...
2nd half, when bebo leaves her watch(ringing every one hr) given by her aunty(Kiran) during an operation in akki's stomach.not a gud story live up but dialogues,acting(especially akki),hollywood star cast,special appearances,exposures of the babes!! this's wt the film is abt...
S.Khan wasted Boman Irani,Javed Jaffery, hot and sexy Richards,Stallone,and so on while showing importance of akki-bebo.dumb aftab-amrita made it worst....songs appearing without need as in a typical hindi movie...hardly 2:20 hrs of movie(including the promotion song) has maximum 10-15 mins for stallon+Richards+boman+Javed....
So a must watch movies for all those who loves exposures of the babes and acting seekers of akki...

Tasteless fare

'Kambakht Ishq' is an utterly mindless film that pretends to be a romantic comedy. Set in Hollywood, the movie is not even pleasant ‘time-pass’, as they say.

Viraj Shergill (Akshay Kumar) is a stuntsman in Hollywood, and Simrita Rai (Kareena Kapoor) is a medical student. They are gender chauvinists. Their relationship starts with professions of hatred, but circumstances bring them together. Finally, they walk out arm-in-arm, while you hold your head in yours. 

The movie is top-heavy, with some lavish sets in Hollywood and a few frames in Italy. There are special appearances by Sylvester Stallone and Denise Richards. However, if Sabir Khan has tried to globalize his film with foreign guest stars and settings, he hasn’t bothered to give the same attention to the storyline or script. 

The shrew is tamed, but the male chauvinist is vindicated. It is like a tired remix of the silly sixties. At times, the dialogues do throw up a few, punchy lines. But most of the time, they are unbearably vulgar. The screenplay is patchy and flows illogically. 

The cinematography is clever, with some watchable scenes in foreign sets. However, does the camera have to pan female curves and cleavage at such length?

'Kambakht Ishq' may have worked for young fans after the long strike, if the leading pair had been fresh and youthful, as in 'DDLJ'. Instead, you get stale and aging actors. Akshay Kumar tries his best, but looks too middle-aged. Kareena Kapoor is loud and crass, with neither the spark nor the subtlety needed for the role of the charming siren. Javed Jaffrey can be very irritating at times, and this film is definitely one of those. 

The movie is a typically tasteless and male chauvinistic product from the Sajid Nadiadwalla camp. Avoid it if you can!

Akshay is finally back in form but could not hit a clear six.

One of the most awaited films of the year, with the terrific pair of Akshay & Kareena, opens with great excitement, whistles and cheers. The viewers are really desperate to see some quality work which can be unanimously acclaimed by both critiques and the general public. But once again, Bollywood delivers a half baked product called “Kambakhht Ishq” which has an enjoyable and entertaining first half but miserably fails to sustain the same energy in the second.  

The director Sabbir Khan starts off shiningly and straight away comes to the point. Introducing all the lead characters in the first five minutes only, he brilliantly directs the opening sequence of a church wedding, where Akshay & Kareena have their first verbal clash. From here on you start expecting more entertaining stuff coming down the lane related to the battle of the sexes, but sadly you are not served a better dish later on.  

The good news for all Akshay Kumar’s fans is that he is back in form with his impeccable comic timing in the first half. Portraying the role of a Hollywood Stuntman, he is simply superb, fighting with Kareena in his own freak out style, trying to prove the supremacy of men over women. And equally good is the ravishing Kareena Kapoor who tends to burn the silver screen with her electrifying hot persona. In fact Kareena is only one, who truly deserves the title of “Bollywood Diva” among her current Bollywood contemporaries. Her performance in the movie also proves the immense acting talent she has, as expected from a lady from the Kapoor Family.  

So, the first half is high on entertainment where you keep on enjoying the scenes even when there is no story being developed. As seen in Akshay’s last successful movies, this one also has no story plot as such and the movie revolves around only an idea of a Hollywood Stuntman having an affair with a hard to convince girl. The second half talks more about the love affair and the emotional misunderstanding between the characters, which unfortunately falls flat as compared to the initial moments of the movie. Though from the scripting point of view, post interval the movie has a very interesting plot where Akshay is hearing “Om Mangalam” mantra everywhere around him, due to an alarm clock left in his body during an operation. But the writers couldn’t develop the hilarious plot for long, which could have been the highlight of the movie. In short, the director loses the grip in the later part, which may have a negative impact on the box office performance of “Kambakhht Ishq”. 

Coming to the grand budget of the movie, it had a highly supportive producer who actually spent more than required on the project, to make it look glossy, majestic and larger than life. And the movie does have the Royal look with all those famous Hollywood actors featuring in it for the first time. Though, it gives you a feeling that it was all done for bringing in the international audiences, still the foreign Icons have performed pretty well more than what was being expected. Among the three, Sylvester Stallone, Brandon Routh and Denise Richards, the most famous in India is THE RAMBO (Sylvester Stallone), who also gets the maximum scenes in the movie. Brandon and Denise are just fine in their short cameos, but Stallone is super cool in his scenes and leaves an impression.  

In the supporting cast, Aftab Shivdasani and Amrita Arora play their roles perfectly. Javed Jaffery and Kiron Kher are cast in an underwritten role giving them the same characters which they have already played in many of their previous movies. Boman Irani is completely wasted in a one scene performance and Vindu Singh, surprisingly comes up with a calm comic performance. Annu Malik’s music does have a new sound but the compositions still have his unique Annu stamp written all over them. Out of the numbers being played all over, only the title song by RDB has the right groove and beat to catch on. “Bebo Main Bebo” is not as enjoyable as projected by its promos on air. Cinematography is first rate capturing the Hollywood Studios, Kodak Theater and the grandeur of the subject magnificently. 

Talking about the drawbacks of “Kambakhht Ishq”, there are many to state, but since it’s a comic movie made only with an intention to entertain without any social message, so logic has to be kept aside for this particular genre. The movie goes on the similar lines of “Welcome” and “Singh Is Kinng”, having a very weak script but an enjoyable narration with entertaining moments. This time, we have a flick surely better than “Chandni Chowk To China” but still not a clear winner all the way. 

However there were some major flaws in the movie which should have been looked upon importantly. Firstly, in a movie based on the life of a Hollywood Stuntman, you don’t find any amazing stunts and action sequences performed by Akshay Kumar. All the fight sequences are too fast, routine and executed in a clumsy manner. Secondly, it was quite strange to find out that Kareena Kapoor is actually there as a professional surgeon in the movie, whereas in all the promotional campaigns she was shown as a Top Model. She only does one modeling assignment in the movie and that too for raising funds required to pay her medical fees. 

In a nutshell, “Kambakhht Ishq” falls in the same genre of senseless movies, based on a thin plot, made only with a motive to entertain. It is also said to be the remake of a Tamil film “Pammal K. Sambandam” (2002) featuring Kamal Hassan & Simran which was a huge Hit in the south. Regarding its Hindi version, the excited fans of Akshay & Kareena are sure going to have a good time, but the rest may not take it in high spirits. In other words, Akshay is finally, back in form but could not hit a clear six. 

Ratings : 2.5 / 5

Borderline Timepass, Largely Mindless but Makes the Heart Happy

Kambakht Ishq is one of those movies where you should leave your brain home, and your sense of humour, maybe your heart as well. Tell you what, just don't go. It'll save you money.

It is a slapstick, big-hype-but-where's-the-rest movies about the great gender divide and how it all turns into lurrve. Popcorn fare, nevertheless.

It starts off with a typical beginning, slightly refreshing that it's in Hollywood and we see so many familiar faces. But the rest, we can predict. We all know what's going to happen in the end, why bother sitting around to watch the faux-climax hit the roof?

The first half of the film is boring. There is no other way to describe it - cliché fights, cliché jokes, cliché scenarios, come ON! Get real!

However, if you've made it through the first half, the second half gives a small breath of fresh air with a million interesting turns in the movie but portrayed in such a shallow manner your brain wants some food, snacks, appetizers, dessert, ANYTHING!

Despite all the clichés, mind-numbing jokes and predictable turns, you are bound to leave the theatre feeling good – it is undoubtedly some good heart food.

Kareena and Akshay are predictable, no Filmfares for either. It’s not very hard to play either of their roles and they’ve done just enough to ensure it doesn’t suck. Fair enough. Aftab and Amrita are fine, they do their bit and Boman is just plain redundant. He has evidently been thrown in for cheap laughs. Sabir Khan and Sajid Nadiawala need to relax. One doesn’t HAVE to cram the whole world into one movie.


The music is fabulous, my mind is still buzzing with the title track. Every song has its own feel to it with the underlying beat that is constant throughout the film. Anu Malik has surprisingly provided a warm breath of air to the film. Cinematography was fine but nothing to comment upon.

All-in-all, average time pass. Better than some of the tasteless fodder that has been hitting the screens lately.
