For some reason my movie-watching frequency at theaters has taken a nosedive in the recent past. So maybe it was desperation that led me to watch Kambhakkt Ishq when a friend who recently moved into town invited me. After I watched it though, I could think of only one word for it – brilliant.
(Left: Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor – wincing in delight)

Its punchy storyline and ultrakewl production design have you in awe from the first second. The script essays the antics of a very hot Indian-origin-soon-to-be-surgeon-cum-part-time-model in the US who tries to recover her mantra-chanting watch which she accidentally leaves inside a Hollywood stuntman whom she hates during her first surgery, only to discover that both of them are inconsolably, unspeakably, indisputably in love.

No, really.

This plot, my friend, is a flash of inspiration from the Gods. We can only wonder how such a brilliant storyline escaped the consciousness of all script writers, past, present and future.

Apart from the general brilliance, there is also a very tasteful scene in which an African-American lady digs into Akshay Kumar’s butthole looking for smuggled goods. Of course, this is all in good humour and hence the movie is rated UA.

Annuuuu Mallliiiikkk – dear Lord. He, with any other spelling would smell the same. The song, ‘Bebo, main bebo’ had me tapping my feet in the cinema hall, but I had to stop because the person seated in front of me had a slight dislocation of the spinal cord. I also saw many others tap their feet out of the theater at this stage. They must have had something real important to do, because they missed one HELL of a movie.

There is also the presence of Hollywood, thus validating this movie for kewlness. I mean really, we are cool so we must like Hollywood films and their stars, right? So Stallone plays a cameo as himself, and not only does he give a Taurus award to Akki at an awards ceremony studded with fake stars, he even rescues surgeon Kareena and lingerie model Amrita Arora while they are driving through a shady neighbourhood with that Aftab fellow who never does any major roles. Mr Balboa just happens to be walking by at that time. After punching the lights out of the goons, he says ‘Kambhaaaakt Eeeeessshk’, for no particular reason and resumes his walk, this time (hold your breath) in slow motion.

Also there is Denise Richards, who seems to have reduced in quantity to Denise Richard as Akki-playa-Kumar calls her. We couldn’t handle more than one of her, but one is just about right I think. Especially since our man dumps her for the surgeon with whom he finally finds trulowe.

So please, take your infants, toddlers, pre-teenagers and other family members to this movie. It’s an experience you will never forget. Never.

Amazingly accurate results. I am Amitabh Bachchan. And my yousuck.com account has been notified. I wait.

Of course, image credit goes to The Times of India’s website.

Jokes apart, I do feel that Ash turned it down because it possibly augmented her ‘not natural’ image. Or maybe, father-in-law disapproved.

The grammar gaffe of the day comes from Chennai Times:

Actually, dear Gul Panag, beauty is a noun.

Regards.

Amitabh Bachchan wants to stay alive. Who’s da Big Bee Gee!

Akshay Kumar today shocked all and sundry at the Padma Shri awards ceremony by saying that he didn’t deserve the award and Aamir Khan was the rightful recipient. “It’s a hard to, youknow, deserve credit for not mine righteously”, he grunted. He went on to spout, “This years in the IPL also, when Delhi Daredevils win we plan to give the award to Aamir Khan. Unggh.”

On a completely unrelated note, he said, “I will never make another Chandni Chowk to China. I’m apologize to Shekhar Suman that I made him apologize.” Incidentally, this statement elicited tremendous applause.

When reminded that Aamir Khan had already won the award , Akki retorted with an emotional “Arrggh” and leapt on to the roof. Apparently, he was promoting his upcoming film Kambakth Ishq where he plays a stuntman.

Sometimes you see a trailer of a movie and just know that it’s going to be a flop.

Having said that, I just know that I’m going to watch ‘Victory’. Expectations from a movie couldn’t get lower… well maybe they could. Love Story 2050. Shudder.
