14 of 28 people found this review helpful Kambakkht Ishq is a weak, often revoltingly cheap film that serves merely as aspirin-seller or hangover-simulation.

Kambakkht Ishq is some moneybag's testosterone-fuelled fantasy come alive. It is not a battle of the sexes --- as the promos say -- but a battle for sex...

7 of 17 people found this review helpful 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.

The musical interludes (Anu Malik) and choreography (Vaibhavi Merchant) served to strengthen an otherwise, hollow creation.
By Filmfare / Times of India / Indiatimes, July 7, 2009 - 10:05 IST
So what really works in Kambakkht Ishq. Merely the gloss and a valiant effort on the part of Akshay Kumar to keep the laughs trickling in, here and there, with his off-beat sense of timing.

1 of 2 people found this review helpful 'Kambakkht Ishq' is a horrible film to watch. A poor show. No grip and no thrill. It will be better to skip the film.

Kambakkht Ishq encompasses many of the traits that are required for a successful film: a good-looking popular actor who will jump off buildings, a snooty actress dressed to kill, and great scenes and sights.
By Spicezee, July 7, 2009 - 10:20 IST
The film's main problem is nothing but its thin line plot, packaged with some extremely bad jokes that do not work at all. Also, in the name of humour, a lot of sequences seem to violate the thin line of acceptance, which makes it difficult to watch for family audience.
By MumbaiMirror, July 7, 2009 - 10:24 IST
Kambakkht Ishq is what is called a masala film - an extravagant production filled with slapstick gags, furious action and music videos, wrapped around a size zero story, as befitting its lean mega stars. It's a film meant for the masses, with emphasis on asses.

3 of 4 people found this review helpful Kambakkht Ishq has attractive camerawork, and set in the heart of Hollywood you're treated to a ringside view of such local attractions as the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Universal Studios and the Kodak Theatre. There is also the opportunity to see a few daring stunts being filmed, but those scenes sadly are too short.
