Movie Review: Shortkut (2009)Shortkut – The Con is on: Is an opportunity lost
New York Times and Variety Praise KIKambakkht Ishq has hit the bulls eye not only back home but also off-shores. International critics have loved Kambakkat Ishq calling it the film that has invaded Hollywood. Showering generous doses of praises on the film critic Rachel Saltz of New York Times writes, "Bollywood casts a proprietary eye on Hollywood in “Kambakkht Ishq,” a comedy set in Los Angeles starring two of India’s hottest stars, Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor. Viraj (Mr. Kumar) is a stuntman; Sim (Ms. Kapoor) a model/surgeon. When they meet, it’s aversion at first sight." Saltz further praises the film calling it slick fast and thumping. "The film, written and directed by Sabbir Khan, has only one frantic desire: to entertain. It spottily succeeds, despite its frequently crude humor, relentless pace and a few unpalatable racial bits. Bollywood, is ready to crash Hollywood’s party." International magazine Variety described as a bold, brash, singing and dancing romantic comedy set on Paramount sound stages and Universal backlot. Critic Ronnie Scheib writes, "Featuring two of India’s biggest stars, Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor, with key secondary roles filled by Yanks Sylvester Stallone and Denise Richards (playing themselves), pic revolves around a classic, no-holds-barred, love/hate match between a male-chauvinist stuntman and a man-hating model-cum-doctor. Targeting the diaspora and beyond, this entertaining if somewhat uneven romp reps a strong contender in Bollywood’s ongoing quest to go global, opening at more than 2,000 theaters worldwide." Praising Akshay Kumar the writer says, "Kumar’s martial-arts expertise (he performs his own stunts) pays off big time in a string of impressive, full-blown action sequences." Schiez concludes the critique saying, "Sabbir Khan maintains high energy through most of the lengthy running time, ably assisted by lenser Vikas Sivaraman and a slew of gifted action directors, choreographers, dancers and musicians.
