1. India Express By Shubhra Gupta

What is it with Bollywood and adventure? Why can’t we do thrillers in which our hearts leap into our mouths, and stay there? ‘Luck’, which is based entirely on the premise of it brimming over with edge-of-the-seat action, tips us over a couple of times-- at best. The rest is spent building up to a climax which isn’t.

Ram (Imran) is an average Joe who needs a lot of money. So does Ayesha (Shruti), and Major (Mithun), and Shortcut (Chitrashi). Along comes Big Betting Man Musa (Sanjay) and his right-hand man (Danny), who gather up this cash-strapped lot and transport them to South Africa, where they play on their luck, for their lives.

Bounty-hunting humans in the movies can be frightening and appalling, all at the same time. But Shah, who did ‘Kaal’ before this, treats Musa’s shenanigans as benign betting, and that colours the improbable proceedings: we settle back, knowing that the lead actors will find that elusive parachute or escape that toothy shark. It’s the unfortunate ‘firang’ extras who come to an untimely end, the losers... Read Full Review..

INDIATIMES MOVIES by Gaurav Malani,

Reality televisioncomes to big screen but the fear factor is that it's too pretentious. So in the same South African city where Akshay Kumar played host to daredevil girls, Sanjay Dutt challenges an eclectic group to perform stunts for his betting business. Predictably you also know their order of elimination with the junior artists getting knocked-off first and subsequently the hero (Imran Khan) surviving over the villain (Ravi Kishen). Ironically, while reality shows are unnecessarily scripted, films which need a tight script are loosely written.

The first half of the film is merely devoted to character introductions though none are convincingly established. For the zillionth time, Sanjay Dutt repeats his gun-toting act, moving around in sherwani, jackets and a French beard in the company of black-suited bodyguards. What more, even his name isn't any different - Musa. Ram Mehra (Imran Khan) has to repay the 20 crores that his late father had lost in stock market. Retired Major Jawar Pratap Singh (Mithun Chakravarthy) has the same conflict that Amitabh Bachchan had in Kaante - needs money for his ailing wife. For the neighbouring country connection, the script takes a Shortcut (Chitrashi Rawat). The best is yet to come! When a loose noose fails to hang rapist Raghav (Ravi Kishen) to death, he is officially set free by the law....read full review

CNN-IBN by Rajeev Masand
Now here's the thing about action films. Most of them aren't particularly smart, but you're willing to overlook that if they make for a dramatic and thrilling experience. The problem with Luck, which opens at cinemas this weekend, is that it's neither smart nor spectacular.

Sanjay Dutt stars as Musa, a gambling kingpin who's made a fortune in human betting. His faithful henchman Tamang (played by Danny Denzongpa) is entrusted the job of travelling the world and recruiting the luckiest people he can find to participate in a Fear Factor-style series of dangerous challenges, while loaded gamblers place bets on them.

Lured by the promise of a fat cash prize to the one who survives all challenges, a motley bunch of misfits – including Imran Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, Ravi Kissen, Shruti Haasan, Chitrashi Rawat, and a handful of your staple foreign extras from Colaba Causeway – volunteer to jump off helicopters and enter shark-infested waters.

Borrowing his premise and key scenes quite liberally from a handful of films including Spanish thriller Intacto, French cult-favorite 13 Tzameti and Hollywood B-movie The Condemned, writer-director Soham Shah delivers a mangled mess of a picture that fails to engage because the characters are all stereotypes and you really couldn't care less if they lost their lives in those dangerous stunts.... read full review..


4. Sahara Samay by Amit Shah
Mumbai: Director Soham Shah's multi-starrer action thriller is a feast for moviegoers, who love daring stunts. It is one of the best action thrillers of Bollywood. People who love action thriller should not miss it.

The story is based on a betting syndicate run by mafia king pin
Kareem Musa (Sanjay Dutt). Kareem Musa takes the game of betting to highest level by involving humans as betting objects.

Musa's aide Tamang (DannyDengonzapa) selects 20 participants from across the globe and assembles them in South Africa for the daring game. The participants have a proven record of extreme luck.

Betters put their money on the participants through Musa. The film starts with a new season. The participants are Ram (Imran Khan), who is a working professional and wants to earn huge money to compensate his father's fraud, Ayesha (Shruti Hassan), Retd. Col Singh (Mithun Chakravorty), who needs money for his wife's operation, Shortcut (Chitrashi) and Raghav (Ravi Kissen), who plays the role of a serial murderer.

All these participants are put into extremely dangerous life taking games of luck and who manages to win the big jackpot amongst them forms the rest of the film... read full review...

1. INDIATIMES MOVIES by Gaurav Malani
There is no short cut to success is what this film intends to convey taking a very long route. Sadly, at the very outset, producer Anil Kapoor attempts to take a shortcut by choosing to (officially) remake a Malayalam film Udayananu Tharam (Mohanlal, Sreenivasan) which in turn is a (unofficial) spin-off on the Hollywood flick Bowfinger (Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy).

The film is Indianized with an additional sub-plot of how a non-actor (Arshad Warsi) turns an overnight superstar by stealing the script of an assistant director (Akshaye Khanna). Ironical that a film that centers on stealing of a script is itself a take-off of another film!

More irony unveils as the film goes on to highlight the significance of terms like script, storyboard, Stanislavsky and world cinema in filmmaking while actually giving no regards to any, indulging in self-mockery. Akshaye Khanna’s writer’s block appears more as if he’s stuck up in solving some math numerical. Every time he gets an ending to his story, he screams out saying ‘I got my climax’, which sounds suggestive with cheesy connotations.

The derived screenplay is patchy and its shows as writer Neeraj Vora struggles to script weak characters and weaker conflicts. Picture this – the assistant director gets married to superstar Mansi (Amrita Rao) and his chawl neighbours gift him a palatial flat. The graph goes flat as the story turns towards matrimonial disharmony with Mansi soon giving up on her chauvinistic husband. ..read full review

I didnt have great expectations from Short Kut since I knew first hand and StarBoxOffice was the first to break the story about how it is a rip-off of the Hollywood film Bowfinger. Worse, when you dread watching a film you know will be lame, its intolerable cruelty. This Short Kut will only take you downhill with its canned laughs. Why did Anil Kapoor produce such a film? What did he see in it? Did he think they were making a Bowfinger equal?

Akshaye Khanna plays Shekhar, a talented AD turned script-writer-director. Arshad Warsi plays Raju aka Rajesh Kumar, a much-hated and feared wannabe who takes short cuts to success. Tiku Talsania is Mr. Tolani, a producer, Amrita Rao is superstar Mansi in love with Shekhar. Raju steals Shekhar's script and stars in a film based on it. Chunky Pandey plays Kapoor, Raju's manager The film is a hit and he becomes a star. Shekhar is devastated but decides to take his revenge. He also marries Mansi and becomes Mr.Mansi, a tag he cannot live with. So Mansi leaves him. A twist of events causes Shekhar to make a movie with Raju.

Here are a few things that irked me during the movie:

Shekhar says, "Main tumhare bina adhoora hu" to which Mansi replies, "Mein tumhari ho gayi jab tumne mujhe pukara". It translates to "You complete me" and "You had me at hello", made famous by Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger in Jerry Maguire. Obviously in ShortKut it doesn't have the same tear jerking impact that it had in Jerry Maguire. Whatever happened to originality?...read full review

3. Yahoo by Shubhra Gupta

Jobless, hopeless actor Raju steals a superb script from sincere, hardworking writer Shekhar. A film is made. Raju turns into a superstar, Shekhar, a whingeing loser.

Shortkut suffers from director Neeraj Vora's customary inability to infuse any newness or subtlety into a plot that could easily have gone the other way. It covers roughly the same ground as Zoya Akhtar's Luck By Chance, minus its craft and skill. Everything is loud and plastic, and the actors all chant their lines at the top of their voices. Akshaye inhabits the same grid as he always has. Love interest Amrita Rao matches him, her unlimited cleavage not making up for limited range. And Arshad is the biggest disappointment, the highlight of his act being a crotch joke, when a champagne cork hits him in the nuts.

He's been doing a string of low-budget horrors in which he's been the best thing. Here he has no excuse — this is a big-budget, big banner film, with a fully-fleshed out role. Arshad Warsi, fine actor, RIP?.. read full review

4.CNN-IBN by Rajeev Masand

Shortkut starring Akshaye Khanna, Arshad Warsi and Amrita Rao is not what I’d call a bad film. But it is, most certainly a pointless one. It’s got a standard storyline and no surprises in its telling.

Akshaye Khanna plays an assistant director in the Mumbai film industry who’s just finished writing a script he wants to direct himself. His struggling actor roommate, Arshad Warsi steals the script and hands it over to a producer who promptly agrees to make the film and to cast Arshad in the lead.

So while Akshaye’s dreams of becoming a successful filmmaker are shattered, Arshad turns into an overnight superstar.

Over the course of two hours and fifteen minutes, director Neeraj Vora drives home the point that there are no shortcuts in life, only sincerity and hard work ultimately pays.

Problem is, the film’s so lifeless and boring, you find yourself searching for a shortcut in the cinema that could instantly take you back to the comfort of your home. .. read full review

1. CNN-IBN by Rajeev Masand /

How much you enjoy Kambakkht Ishq is directly proportionate to just how low your standards have fallen. This battle-of-the-sexes saga starring Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor is a loud, vulgar and seriously offensive film that has reportedly been made at a price of Rs 60 crore. In that much money, you could feed an entire starving nation. And you'd be blessed for it.

I'm not saying the makers of Kambakkht Ishq have no business spending so much money. I'm just saying, if you must spend Rs 60 crore, the least you can do is give us a good film.

Akshay Kumar plays Viraj Shergill, a Hollywood stuntman who beds a new broad every day but loves his bachelor lifestyle too much to settle for anything permanent. He meets his match in Kareena Kapoor who plays Simrita Rai, a medical student-cum-part-time model who hates the very sight of men, convinced they're only interested in women for sex. The two of them clash when their respective best friends decide to tie the knot, but things take an unexpected turn when - believe it or not - Simrita accidently loses her musical watch inside Viraj's body while performing a surgery on him. Mortified that she could be sued for her negligence, she must find a way to get him back on the operation table so she can retrieve the watch. He, on the other hand, can't seem to figure out why his ears keep ringing with a musical chant....read full review

2. Indian Express by Shubhra Gupta

‘Kambakkht Ishq’ aims at those who think from the groin, and hits the target unerringly: the hero and heroine of this heavily-publicised enterprise are eloquence personified--- he is a dog, she is a bitch. And like best of the breed, they circle, ears pricked, tails raised, throats growling, noses sniffing, all ends up, down, and the middle.

For the record, he’s Viraj Sheirgill (Akshay), ace stuntman in Hollywood, who believes women are good for only “two things”.

She is Simrita Rai ( Kareena), an ultra-swish model, who is convinced men want only one thing. Uh oh, actually, no, she is a surgeon, who bares her pretties only to pay her way through med school. And the film is basically to do with two of them jousting to add up the numbers: will Akshay-the-sexist-so-and-so’s two match up to all-men-are-hateful Kareena’s one? ... read full review


3 .Buzz18 by Anand Vaishanav

Sometime back in 2007 it seemed all studio bosses set themselves a singular goal – Get Akshay Kumar on board. Pay him the moon and block a few months of his life in the form of bulk dates. Did anyone say script? Well, who cares! After all they have the biggest star in town. A good-looking heroine, foreign locales, slick music videos and few SMS gags would take care the rest.

Kambakkht Ishq is just about everything you expect in an Akshay Kumar film. So there is no point complaining about the lack of logic, silly situations and sexist humour. Akshay never promised to surprise you. But what one expects from Kambakkht Ishq is non-stop fun. Damn the sensibilities, as long as the jokes crack you up. Sadly Kambakhht Ishq runs out of steam in the humour department.

With the peppy promos playing on air for over three months, by now everyone is pretty aware about the plot. The battle of sexes in the first half is fast paced and genuinely funny in parts. And many of the sometimes-corny, one-liners work solely due to Akshay and Kareena's timing. Trouble starts in the last hour when the director subjects us to emotional atyachar. The movie revisits every done to death cliché of a love story to finally bring the couple together. A movie that's so irreverent about commitment takes an almost forced about turn. And you can easily predict how the climax would unfold nearly half-an-hour in advance....read full review

4. IndiaTimes by Gaurav Malani

Filmmaking standards in Bollywood seem to have gone really high. Producers now opt for Sylvester Stallone over Sunny Deol for that mandatory special appearance in the climax as the messiah who saves the heroine from hoodlums. The shady second female fiddle who the heroine keeps abusing through the film has upgraded from Rakhi Sawant to Denise Richards. If that indirect insult to Hollywood still seems indicative, there is much more hardcore swearing in store.

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. That’s because he treats the film with such childish cheekiness that you are amazed by the audacity with which the film offends the idea of entertainment.

Viraj (Akshay Kumar), an Indian stuntman working in Hollywood, is a compulsive womanizer who goes flirting around with every other woman in the town. Hey Baby, doesn’t that Akki sound familiar? For one good hour he goes on flirting outrageously with Simrita (Kareena Kapoor), a supermodel who is more of a mannequin with a disgusted face. The battle of sexes works adversely on your reflexes amidst jarring songs, commotional cake-fights, loud performances and toilet humour.

Miss Supermodel doubles up as a surgeon who, in an operation, leaves a timepiece inside stuntman’s stomach. With a story straight out of sensational tabloids, you helplessly watch the film ticking towards imminent disaster....read full review

5. ApunKaChoice By Naresh Kumar Deoshi

Not another dumb comedy from a man whose mere gummy grin and goofiness can leave you crackling with laughter! Akshay the repetitive Kumar, the winning stallion on whom Bollywood producers with bulgy wallets love to bet, is failed yet again by a raggedy script stitched with juvenile humour, sleazy dialogues and painfully kitschy melodrama.

The movie could be a litmus test for your LQ (laughter quotient). Sample this – the hero is detained at an airport for suspected possession of drugs. He’s taken to an interrogation room where an oversized black female smacks him face down on the table, pulls his pants down, puts on a glove on her hand, and looks for ‘hidden drugs’ in the hole that’s not hard to guess. Find that funny? Here’s more! Akshay’s sidekick Vindoo Dara Singh gulps down a protein shake mixed with Viagra and, his hormones stirred, begins to see the females at a wedding party in bras and bikinis. Not that funny? Check this out. The wedding party turns into a bash fest, with the guests punching, kicking (sometimes at objectionable places) each other and even farting. Cakes fly and land on the faces of the bride and the groom’s bro.
if you have stomach for this kind of humour, a visit to the theatre playing Kambakkht Ishq might leave you with an upset tummy, definitely not because of laughter. ...read full review
