Home - Bollywood - Kambakkht Ishq (2009) - Indipepal

What could have been a delightful film with a gorgeous Kareena, Akshay's deadly stunts at the Universal Studios, and a string of guest appearances by Hollywood biggies, ends up a torture. Kareena asks Akshay in a scene, 'How low can you go?' This film is the answer.

Akshay Kumar continues to repeat his customary comic act. Alas his spontaneity and improvisation fail to revive the hogwash script. How one wishes producer Sajid Nadiadwala would have shown more consideration for a sane... rather some storyline than investing millions on highlighting Hollywood. Alas this one is Dumb-akkht Ishq !

On the whole, KAMBAKKHT ISHQ will strike a chord with the youth and those who relish zany and madcap entertainers. The first half is tremendous, while the second half takes a dip, with the film picking up towards the climax...To sum up, KAMBAKKHT ISHQ offers you value for time and also, value for money.

It would be unfair to write off Kambakkht Ishq as a disappointment. Problem is, there's just nothing new in it...Glossy packaging and style try hard to make up for the lack of substance. But then again, if you expected any more from Akshay - The joke's on you.
