Kambakkht Ishq Review - Must Miss, Sick Garbage; Don’t Waste Your Money

You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
O, you hard hearts, you cruel men of Bollywood
Be gone! Be gone!
Run to your houses, fall upon your knees
Pray to the gods to intermit plague like Kambakkht Ishq
That needs must light on the ingratitude of Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor.

Did the Bard really write that in Julius Caesar? ;)

Folks, Kambakkht Ishq is a sick flick from a bunch of sick f*cks.

It boggles the imagination that there are schmucks in Bollywood so classless as to take a sick Tamil flick by the ridiculous name of Pammal K.Sambandam and remake it in Hindi with the doubly ridiculous title of Kambakkht Ishq.

What a tragedy that in the depraved gullies of Bollywood there are no limits to both nonsense and stupidity.

Seven years after Kamal Haasan and Simran inflicted their unique brand of torture in Pammal K.Sambandam, Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor pick up the knife, plunge it deep into the chest and scoop out the entrails of Bollywood fans whose only sin is to hope for paisa vasool for their ticket money.

Sick Garbage, Zero Story
As we feared, Kambakkht Ishq hews to the Pammal K. Sambandam non-story line of the ego clash between two headstrong single persons - stuntman Viraj (Akshay Kumar) and model and surgeon-in-the-making Simrita (Kareena Kapoor).

Both our protagonists have a low opinion of the other sex, and that is the slender thread on which hangs this whole, odious film.

At periodic intervals, our heroine yells out ‘dog’ to the hero, who dutifully barks back ‘bitch.’

In the interregnum, someone’s calling someone ‘asshole’ or ‘bastard’ or a big-breasted black woman is shoving her hand into Akshay Kumar’s asshole or a ear doctor is screaming that he’s unable to hear.

No sir, we are not joking. Such is the garbage we were subjected to in this unceasing nightmare. And you will too because there’s no story worth speaking of in this worthless piece of trash.

The comedy tracks involving Boman Irani, Kiron Kher et al are awful, disgustingly sophomoric and don’t have much to do with the movie.

Akshay Kumar - Disappoints Again
The King is dead. Long live the King.

Oh, we mean the newly crowned Bollywood king of garbage - Akshay Kumar.

If you thought Akshay Kumar’s Chandni Chowk to China was pathetic, Kambakkht Ishq will leave you numb with horror that a Bollywood star of his stature would involve himself with and contribute to the making of such stinking trash.

Must be obscene greed, what else.

Besides associating himself with this offal, the aging Akshay Kumar never demonstrates any other talent in this movie like great acting or thrilling stunts. Akshay’s acting here is pedestrian and his stunts mediocre.

Sure, there’s all the fire and noise but there are no great pyrotechnics in the stunts themselves. Nothing we haven’t seen in a thousand Hollywood movies before.

Talk of repaying fans affection with a clenched fist shoved up their bottoms. That’s what Akshay Kumar does to fans stupid enough to shell out $10.50 for this must-not-watch movie.

Kareena Kapoor - Sheer Agony
This Bollywood starlet of Lilliputian stature is a bad-ass actress of Brobdingnagian proportions. Continue Reading…

In a Masochistic Mood

Whip me.

Please, whip me harder. Harder, harder.

Yes, folks. You guessed right. We are in the theatre waiting for Kambakkht Ishq to start.

There are about 35 other masochists in the hall.

Who knew there were so many desis in New Jersey desperate to get their asses whipped.

Critics Trash Akshay Kumar’s Kambakkht Ishq

Kambakkht Ishq Review - Must Miss, Sick Garbage; Don’t Waste Your Money

Breaking News - Akshay Kumar is the new Abhishek Bachchan. You know, the name that’s synonymous with garbage.

Akshay’s Kambakkht Ishq is already drawing withering scorn from movie critics.

Here are some of the critics on Kambakkht Ishq:

* Sify:

Writer-director Sabir Khan’s execution is devoid of subtlety….Well, this film is good for only one - the trash bin.

* Indiatimes:

The heroine and hero refer to each other as ‘dog’ and ‘bitch’ throughout. She adds that men have no IQ. Director Sabbir Khan either believes the same for his audience or is the species of men that the heroine is referring to.

Does Anyone Still Remember Rajshree?

While we’ve encountered hundreds of actresses in reel life, Rajshree is one of only two Bollywood actresses we’ve met and talked to in real life (we met both when we used to live in Los Angeles).

Daughter of the famous Hindi filmmaker V.Shantaram, Rajshree was a dazzling beauty in her youth. After falling in love with an American gora, Rajshree bid goodbye to movies and moved to the U.S.

Although long past her prime, Rajshree was still pretty when we met her at a party in L.A.

One of our favorite Rajshree songs is Duniya Ki Sair from Around the World with the legendary Raj Kapoor.
