Akshay Kumar’s Kambakht Ishq has opened to a huge response at the box office and proves yet again that he is one of the most bankable stars in the industry. But a superstar can only gurantee a huge opening, the rest depends on how good / bad the movie is…
Ideally, a Great opening + Good Reviews + Strong word-of-mouth = Sure shot Blockbuster
But the same cannot be said about Kambakht Ishq as although it has opened to 100% collections at preview shows across the country, the critics have slammed the movie and the word-of-mouth is poor.
The advance booking is as good as Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi but the Akshay Kumar film hasn’t managed to surpass the earth shattering response that Aamir Khan’s Ghajini received in the last week of 2008. So with good advance booking, it remains to be seen if the available seats for the weekend will be sold out. If it does, Kambakht Ishq could well be the second hit of 2009.
Update: The trade expects the film to crash on Monday, but can the collections sustain over the weekend is something that remains to be seen. The word-of-mouth from people who have watched the first day first show is extremely poor.

Plz do’nt comments like this. I also the big fan of khiladi, but i always say truth. And time will tell because time…. is judge. If peoples reject kI so our comments r useless. So u gayz plz wait n see. And as a akki fan i’ll tell u all, my all time fav movie is DDLJ so wats this it is justice. So i hope n pray 4 KI. N last i like akki because he is reall KK (Khiladi n King)…..
KI is the biggest Blockbuster of 2009. Akki is the King of Bollywood. Akki is the real and reel King of Bollywood and Hollywood. Akki is rocking the world.
I saw the movie it is totally a flop….no sence…usless comedy……i just hate it…its even worst than chandhni chowk 2 china…
But i loved New York
senseless movie like akki always do.
all the reviews that I read hate the movie and give it like 1 and a half to 2
like all of the reviews say don’t walk out of the movie theather RUN LOL
and some media person review was all WTF, WTF was this and WTF was that
just CRAP movie!!!!!!!
and akshay is NOT the king of bollywood and will never be
yeah Prakhar
I heard that New York is a good film
why did you waste your money to see Kambakht ishq in the first place…?
Zubbair – mind your language about SRK
Bejul , I agree with you
I don’t know why people hate on him and say bad stuff about him when he is just such a wonderful person.
so what akshay make crap films, too bad for him…..if its crap, its crap….what people have to say that its nice when its CRAP…senseless CRAP so call comedy
Bonita – Thanks! I know its weird SRK has done nothing bad to them. And still people hate him. :(
Akshay kumar lovers –
you guys are just saying that Kambakkth Ishq is a hit movie just because you like Akshay Kumar. But overall everyone here says that its bad. And I agree its bad. Those who havent seen it, its not worth watching it!
You can spend that money somewhere else!!!
yeah it just make me mad when people talk bad about SRK and he is the nicest celeb out of all.
I love lots of celebs but when it comes to SRK, no one can top him in bebaviour and kindness. He is so sweet and nice.
people just have to accept when a movie is crap
I read all the reviews on this movie and the people was like run out of the theater
I know! Hes the kindest actor in bollywood! Expecially with his fans!! Lol! Not worth watching this movie at all! I just HATE it!!!
Kambakht Ishq is a big flop ….i don’t how can somebody say this movie is good…i understand that you are akki’s fan but honestly … this movie is full of overacting , vulgar dialogues , overacting by kareena and akshay kumar ….. avoid it …. disaster…..
good entertaining movie. Just do not watch it with your logical lense on. Just enjoy it.
great movie, all mother fuckers above saying shit about this great movie are bastards. Akshay rocks and this movie is block buster.
All comedies are crap in one sense or other. the other day i was watchin pink pather2….and i found pink pather2 a crap but a very funny one……………
KAMBAKHT ISHQ is Great Fun Movie……….not a iota of doubt about it…………It is utter nonsense to advise people not to watch Akshar starrer movies…………KI is well made commercial film with lot of fun sequences….The presence of Akshay has made the movie more fun watch
Super duper block buster of 2009,
Heart breking news for all Haklu khan’s fans .you gays can’t do anything with your stupid coment ,just wait and see the box office resulte of this block buster
THIS MOVIE IS GOOD!!!SPECIALLY FIRST HALF OF MOVIE GOOD!!!!
THE STRAIGHT THING ABOUT WHETHER IT WILL BE HIT OR NOT
IF FROM MONDAY IT IS ABLE TO MANAGE DECANT CROWD,THIS MOVIE WILL END ITS FIRST WEEK COLLECTION TO 40-50 CRS AROUND!!!
BUT IF THIS DOESNOT MANAGE THEN IT WILL END UP TO 35-40 CRS NOT MORE THAN THAT
WELL I THINK THIS IS RIGHT COLLECTION ,I HOPE SO!!!!!!!IT IS MY CALCULATION!!BUT ONE REAL CALCULATION IS THIS MOVIE WILL BECOME SECOND BIGGEST OPENER IN BOLLYWOOD HISTORY MAKING 25-26 crs in THiS WEEKEND
Sudeep, please dont use caps for all words.
super hit of the year…
100% paisa vasoooooooool
akshay is much better actor thn shahrukh
he is my alltime fav star
he is sooooooooo hot and genuine star.
i think it is a very bad movie.we expect some more from akki but for god sake takw some lesson from amir.he is the real king
This is for all of those who says that KI is a good movie And whore ak fans.You all says SRK is not the king of bollywood.
And say bad words about him as if you all are jealous of him.
But the MAN and US himself say YOU CAN LOVE HIM YOU CAN HATE HIM BUT YOU CANT IGNORE HIM.
And i have to say all of the SRK fans YOU all rock and SRK will Always ROCKKKKK.
Hopelessly disguating movie….AK doesnt act at all….dont waste ur hard erned money on this…Go for X-men instead….
Sam I am with you:)
wethere you love it or hate it you cannot ignore it. Must see movie
I went to watch the movie on Friday with my family. I never thought that a movie with the quality player like Akki & Bebo can be so cheaply presented. The dialouges are very vulgar. The plot is common. This is not even an average movie. The director/ producer should tag this movie as MA. I am not going to watch this movie this movie again and I am not asking anybody not to watch it. As the taste vary person to person.
it is the worst movie of the season ..seems some eunuch has made this film ..mindless senseless clapping of the hands here .. only chchichchore types loafer types will like this movvie for sure
hey RAJ
you say akshay is sooo hot. thats inappropriate for a man to say. are you gay or something, you obviously must fancy him. ha ha ha.
a wonderful movie. He is really the king of bollywood. Rock Ak
Cheap, Vulgar, Obscene, Offensive, Third Class…a bunch of jokers come together, try to make a movie and voila, You’ve got Kambakht Ishq….CRAP!!!
AKSHAY TU GHAR PAR BETHA REH MOVIE MAT KAR PLZ TUJHE KOI FREE MAY BHI MOVIE NAH DAY KOI
Bonita and Bejul, if you don’t like the movie then how come you are following the comments so closely and commenting on them… pasand nahi hai to kahin aur jao, yahan kya pakode bana rahe ho??? And if this srk is such a nice fellow, how come he is always in fight with either aamir or sallu and god knows who else… sallu se pitne ke baad bhi nahi sudhra… :P
