hindi movie
cast: akshay kumar, kareena kapoor
Come on Mr. Director… we don t laugh at this. And what happened to you Mr. Akshay Kumar. In Hera Pheri you’ve given us one of the finest comedies of all time. A comedy which everyone can see with anyone and laugh anytime. But this is certainly not anywhere close to that.
Kambakkhat Ishq is a more of disgust than comedy. Though a comedy film may be pardoned for lack of logic or lack of storyline, still a little decent narrative never hurts. Still there are some good no-brainer comedies. Kambakkhat Ishq is just a no-brainer. It’s a story of a Hollywood stuntman, who enjoys a lifestyle which even mainstream superstars would envy (don’t use your brains). This man mistreats, insults and uses (you know what I mean by ‘uses’) ladies and still is surrounded by beauties (don’t use your brains). This man falls for a model who for some unconvincing reasons hates all the men. What follows is an utter gender bashing.
Shooting the whole film in Hollywood seems had impact on the whole movie. The same movie, had it been made by Hollywood, for Hollywood might have made people laugh there. The problem with the film is, it’s not meant for India sensibilities. I mean, in India we don’t laugh at a man slapping a girl, we don’t laugh at man making fun of a girl’s virginity, we don’t laugh at girl calling the man “dog” and “ba****d” and man replying saying her… uhh.. well female dog, and we certainly don’t laugh our hero of the film passing air on a girls face… (what was that). Sorry Mr. Actor, Director, Script Writer and the whole team… you got it all totally wrong. We loved it when Akshay called Tabu “chashme wali behen jee” in Hera Pheri, but we just don’t find it amusing when he calls Kareena a .. well…umm .. a female dog. The music also nothing to hum about. Sparing RDB’s Mangalam Mangalam, other songs give you time to go out and get a pop-corn.
Akshay Kumar and Kareena do look good and give Hollywood actors a run for their money in that department. Boman Irani and Javed Jaffery are wasted. Aftab is doing what he does best, playing second fiddle. And Amrita Arora… I guess she deserved those tight slaps from Akshay for that lousy acting effort, if not for anything else.
Oh and how can we forget Hollywood biggies (really…??), who were disturbed for few days for appearing in a few frames of the film. I still wonder how Denies Richards agreed to do that part. But Rambo still pulls it off. Best moments of the entire film is when Sylvester Stallone does a take on Sunny Deol action and pulls up his hood cap saying in his very own accent “kambakkhat ishq”. This man has a charisma. How do we wish he had something more to do in the film.
Film has it moments, but very few and far between. Not enough to keep you engaged or interested. Utter waste of HUGE budget and HUGE star cast. AVOID.
Rating: * 1/2
