Clearly they didnt see the finished product Enycedoll.
Akki didnt see it even till yesterday. They both only saw it on the trial. ANd its possible that a lot their sequences got deleted, coz they chopped the movie down quite a bit. THe sword fighting sequence wasnt in there, and neither was that cute scene at the end of one of ht edialogue promos where kareena flinches and makes a face when akki kisses her. Neither was the part where Kiron Kher goes, "Yahi hota hai jab theek time pe shaadi na ki jaye, hormones sir mein ghus jaatein hain"

Despite the overall weakness, I cant help but smile when I think of htat sequence before the "bebo" song. It was sooo super cute adn kareena was at her adorable peak.
All giggly, nad sweet, and cute and childlike.

yup yup yup....as i said before, akshay's realization scene was my favorite scene in the movie...i mean the whole scene from the time she put the drugs in the drink, to her fixing her dress and checking her out expressions in the mirror, akshay walking in...her getting drunk, his realization...very cute..
btw i really liked ur review...we pretty much had the same thuts about the movie...lolll

Was in a really really bad mood, had a fight with my boyfriend (well he refuses to watch bollywood cinema) and I desperately wanted to see Kambhakt Ishq. Anyway, I went with my friends, after a fight with him, but once in, I definitely forgot our nasty fight. I didn't laugh this much even in Garam Masala or Golmaal

I think when it comes to Akki's movie, media and critics have all shred it apart! .....Yeah, the movie doesn't have a great story but the movie delivers entertainment! For 2: 45 mins, you can't stop laughing!...>Everyone in theatre was laughing all the time....Everyone seemed to enjoy!! I don't know why people are expecting it to be a movie on some serious topic...From the promo itself, it shows that film has all the gloss, entertainment and masti and that is what it delivers!!...
I went with all my family members (8) and everyone couldn't stop laughing!....Akki is back in form and Kareena was brilliant! :)

I think film will be a super hit with the audience reaction!!!

agreed. watched the movie . it was good fun😊

well here you go desigal. well as i watched new york the previous week. it was excellent as it was based o na serious subject. the acting was superb.
ok movin onto KI. I went to watch it yesterday wid my sister and 3 of her friends as it was my sis bday yesterday. in total 5 of us. the cinema hall was 75% full. well start was good. akshay as casanova type. he pulled it of well. amrita n aftab weddin scene. the first kiss between akshay and kareena barely fifteen mins into film 😲. kareena acted good as playin a surgeon, as she only did modelling assignments to cover fees. so the supermodel thing was over hyped.
i did not like javed jaffery actin. i tink he is repeatin to much. we have seen him act like dat many times 😕
kareena and akshay chemistry rocked . akshay over powered kareena. kareena looked gorgus in the outfits. the areoplane seen was funni. kiron kher and her gifts and kareena rememberin flash backs lol she looke well funni.
the parts that i liked was the realistion scene and the hospital operation scene lol. the last 40mins of the film were excellent kareena and akshay acted great.
the film got to end and i thought there were meant to round about 10 kisses right? but then the kisses came one afta the other. i was like 😲 😲 😲 😲 😆. i tink most people had the 😲 expression at this moment 😉
i do agree kareena nearly went into her poo mode at times. the movie was a good laugh. i expected more. well i tink the movie will do well. well i hope it does.

I finally watched it online. I think my bro was wrong.. its definately not as bad as chandni chowk to china... hehe.. And Akshay is a sweatheart in the movie... no matter how old he gets he aint tat bad..He lives and breathes this role.. his character seems close to his heart and personal image... Bebo has given a controlled perfomance in a shaky character.. She has done the best she could do out of tis role.. Overall it is like any other bollywood massala.. nothing more nothing less.. But it certainly doesnt deserve all the negative reviews.

Movie Review: Kambakkht Ishq

Kambakkht Film: All glamour, no substance.

Rating: 1.5 on 5

The biggest release of the summer Kambakkht Ishq is finally here. The mega budget Kareena-Akshay starrer looks like an entertaining, romantic action flick from the promos. People expect the film to be a glossy masala entertainer, which it is. Or is it?

There isn't much of a story. When did an Akshay starrer ever have a story?

Kareena plays Simrita Rai aka Bebo. She is studying to be a surgeon but does modeling assignments to pay her medical fees. Whoa! Yeah, she has the bod any other surgeon in the room would like to erm...well ok! Kirron Kher is her aunt, Kehkashan Patel is her sister and Amrita Arora is her best friend. She hates men because she thinks they use women for sex. Akshay Kumar's stuntman character Viraj Shergill is her nightmare because he is a typical playboy who thinks women are good only for sex. Aftab is his brother who is married to Amrita. By a twist of events, Kareena has to operate on him and she leaves her watch inside his stomach. Then she seduces him so that she can quietly operate on him again to remove the watch and not tarnish her reputation as a surgeon. Obviously, they fall in love. Talk about timing it!

The plot is convoluted. The comedy is crude, slapstick. The first song has a lot of T & A; cakes being smashed on faces and people passing wind and unnecessary wardrobe malfunction. It's all in bad taste and downright vulgar. Many of the scenes don't have any link; the editing is skewered. Sylvester Stallone's climax scene was inserted just for the heck of it. The airport scene between a woman officer and Akshay is cheap to the core. Jaaved Jaaferi plays an avaricious Sindhi who wants to make money in America. He is wasted in the film and comes off as a cheap imitation of his Crocodile Dundee character in Salaam Namaste. Even Boman Irani is wasted; his deaf psychiatrist role is reminiscent of the absent minded principal he played in Main Hoon Na. Kehkashan Patel shouldn't have been there at all. There is a lot of sexual connotation in the film and it isn't classy. Some of the dialogue cracks you up but the dog-bitch-bas***d bit gets too much.

Barring Om Mangalam and Kyun, the music is mediocre. Everything is very loud: the songs, the background score and the dialogues.

Coming to what's good in the film, Bebo looks the part of the bimbette who could do things to you on a surgery bed. She frowns a lot in the first half and offers half a smile perhaps in the second half. She seems to be in a perennially bad mood. If that can be counted as good because she is reprising her role of Poo in K3G, then we might as well agree that Poo grew up to be a surgeon without brains. Good for her.

Her role isn't a patch on Jab We Met but it's better than Golmaal Returns and Tashan.

You will despise Akshay in the first half because he is a chauvinistic pig and feel sad for him when Kareena breaks his heart. He has brought his character to life. He is a super stuntman and all the action sequences are top-notch. The scene where he proposes to Kareena is romantic and imaginative. The production design and locales are well co-ordinated.

Kambakkht Ishq has slapstick and mindless stuff from the 80s and 90s. Due to the hype, it will be a hit but it's not a landmark film for anyone. Sabbir Khan is a David Dhawan clone without the class (or crass, you decide).

If you really want to see KI, leave your brains at home and don't expect anything spectacular.
