Forget logic in this game of love

Finally, the wait is over for India's most over-hyped film in recent times as Sajid Nadiadwala's Kambakkht Ishq opens with enough off-screen drama to warrant a movie of its own.

But trivial matters such as Denise Richards' comments on Akshay Kumar's kissing abilities or the debate by India's censor over the film's rating – an adult certification was on the cards – are now behind us.

We are finally left with a Sabbir Khan-directed potboiler that throws logic out the window. Viraj Shergill (Kumar) is a Hollywood stuntman who despises women. Skanky Simrita Rai?(Kareena Kapoor) is a part-time supermodel who wants to be a surgeon. Oh, and she hates the word love.

Things come to head when Viraj's brother Lucky (Aftab Shivdasani) decides to marry Kamini (Amrita Arora), Simrita's best friend.

The lead duo form an uneasy alliance to stop the wedding. And amidst this drama, Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and Brandon Routh flit through aimlessly. But their dazed expressions will be nothing compared to what the audience will suffer through.
