Kambakkth Ishq-Devil's Advocate

Kambakkth Ishq is a movie based on the oft repeated battle-of-sexes saga. Made with a whooping 60Cr,shot at the Universal Studios,a 2000 print release add some hit audio tracks to it, tadaa! a perfect recipe for one-of-the-most-awaited-movies-of-this-season.
This movie,inspired from a telugu movie Bhramachari starring Kamal Hasan,is about Viraj Shergill,a Hollywood stuntman who beds a new girl every night but the very thought of wedding gives him nightmares who accidently meets Simrita Rai, a medical student-cum-smalltime-model at a friend's wedding.On her first assignment as a surgeon she accidently drops her watch,which sings the wedding hymn mangalam every hour gifted to her by her aunt, in Viraj's stomach(!).Scared at the thought that she could be dragged to the court and sued for this act of hers she tries to find a way to get Viraj back to the hospital table.She tries to woo our hero by doing the pyaar-ka-naatak and at the same time our hero lands into a bet with his brother played by Aftaab Shivdasani that he will hitch Bebo and break her heart(:P).Quite predictably in this whole exercise our hero falls for the female lead,she dumps him post- surgery, thrashing the whole incident as just some naatak.But she later realises(as she 'should' in Bollywood) that he is the guy and gatecrashes into 'Viraj's wedding with Denise Richards(*jaw drops*)'.Viraj explains to Denise(God knows what!) and elopes with Bebo.
The plot might seem a bit(read overtly) illogical but the locales,costumes,stunts make up for it(to an extent).Most of the comedy is under-the-belt,which can be a family-audience-deterrent.
Rip-Masand :
a)I don't undertand what is it about using profanities that Rajeev Masand finds so offensive and downgrading of a film.Everyone uses them,Everywhere!.
b)What I don't understand is also that when you are in an area where the stars stay, can't people like Sylvester Stallone EVER come to the rescue of a couple of hapless girls in an alley.What is so wrong in that?
c)Reg. forgetting a watch in the tummy of a patient.Out and out comic movies like these are allowed to take such liberties,this has been an unsaid rule of world cinema since it's inception.I can quote a million examples of instances such as these in movies that have been runaway hits and many of which Masand himself reviewed.
DA's Review :
Watch this flick if you like expensive costumes,good looking people,great locations and sets,good songs,stunts,are ok with some slapstick humour and can shell out a 100 bucks for some timepass.This movie will not bore you,atleast. Caveat!Not to be watched with the family!Phaleez! ·
