Here are some reviews for Kambakht Ishq for people going to watch this movie this week:
Kambakkht Ishq is one for the trash bin.
The story got left behind, far behind. What story, you may ask? And a good question it would be. I can't find a single nice thing to say about a film. Not a line, not one joke. What can you do when the maker's aim is to make an awful film? It runs literally dead slow and has not as much as an iota to savor.
Kambakkht Ishq hits an all-new low in several departments. First, it could easily win the award for the silliest story-line for sure. And here we come to the second abysmal point. Never has a
Hindi film script ever been so derogatory towards women. Silly point number three: the Hollywood connection is a complete sham.
Watching the promos and the huge hype the makers have managed to create about their film, your expectation levels are high when you enter but as you come out you do feel that it is nothing more than a dumb entertainer that tries to take you too much for granted. It may take a great start at the box office but the crowds will vanish from Monday once the hype begins to settles down.
Well, nothing has changed. Kambakht Ishq directed by Sabbir Khan is the same old, typical Akshay Kumar comedy flick. Expensive sets, 4 odd songs filled with babes from the west, a couple of great action sequences performed by the star himself, a super sexy co-star, funny one-liners and a story that completely lacks sense or logic.
Kambakht Ishq was expected to be a success duw to its star cast - Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor and the love story line. Film is a hit among young movie goers. The movie is also unique as it has Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone in real life kind of roles.
The another controversy surrounding the movie is that the story idea being similar the hit 2002 Tamil movie starring Kamal Haasan and Simran "Pammal K Sambandham" and some copyright issues, though director of Kambakht Ishq Shabbir Kumar has clarified that he has acquired the rights from the original Tamil movie producer. I think Kambakht Ishq has managed to hit every stones required to make a film hit, but ultimately any film runs on its story telling and according to critics' reviews, the movie should bomb, but you never know with Akshay Kumar's movies where a complete nonsensical flick "Singh is King" became one of the biggest blockbusters of 2008. So, just go ahead and watch the movie this week and give your review as well.
