Kambakht Isshqqq urff KI

If you like Akshay kumar & what he has been doing in his last one year flicks, here is another broken gem in his wooden crown ,the recent bollywood-hollywood disaster named KAMBAKHT ISHQ.

KAMBAKHT ISHQ was never supposed to have breathtaking story & undoubtedly lives it to its expectations. The film very carelessly kills the bacha khucha Indian tradition & crosses all boundaries of vulgarity & nudity but In mid of all this it has got moments of its own that can make you laugh & titter.

Unfortunately such scenes are classified to 1st half & frantically missed in 2nd half of the movie.

KAMBAKHT ISHQ is about a Hollywood stuntman & his bunch of desi & Firangi Chelas who don’t have any job other than indulging in cat fights with a confused model cum doctor, who hates man(s) the same way I hate Ekta Kapoor serials thanks to his father & family.

Akshay the male protagonist in the movie plays the role of the Hollywood stuntman who is rich & famous

unlike his bollywood counterparts & gives them enough reasons to go for a strike.

Kareena plays the spectrum of roles in the movie that of a model, doctor, a bad prostitute and a schmaltzy women.But unfortunately with her this avatar for me it’s a spectrum which you better want to lock it in a dark black box & forget the keys.

In terms of other characters the film once again revisits struggle of Aftab Shivdasani who plays a respectable C grade chela plus husband & is paired opposite Amrita Arora who is better known as Malaika’s sister than an actress to me .Javed Jaffery & Bomman Irani’s cameos account for the films some degree of light moments.

Film also canvasses the big Hollywood stars like Silver Stallone,Denice Richards & our superman Brandon Routh who as per screen presence doesn’t feature in my good books but certainly feature a lot of times in producers cheque book.

Other actors of the film are like Anu Malik’s music that doesn’t deserve any comments as their presence was more like a torture than a performance, even the gifted Kambakht Ishqran Kher falls short of leaving any impact.

At the end the film works for me because of Akshay & Javed jaffery.

I give it 2 stars & one time watch evaluation; don’t go with any expectations as this word is alien to the concept of the film. Watch it for Akshay kumar & mainly for the title song by RDB.
