Film: “Kambakkht Ishq”
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor
Director: Sabbir Khan
Rating: ***

There’s no business like show-off business. And “Kambakkht Ishq” has plenty to show off. Fabulous Hollywood locales, Hollywood icons like Sylvester Stallone and Brandon Routh doing cameos and above all, crackling and smouldering chemistry between the film’s lead pair.

Ever since reports about trouble in his marriage have surfaced, Hrithik Roshan has made all the effort to prove otherwise.

The latest buzz is that he’s got wife Sussanne’s name tattooed on his wrist.

Akshay Kumar will replace Rahul Bose in Pyaar Ke Side Effect (PKSE) sequel, with Sonam Kapoor replacing Hollywood parked Mallika Sherawat.

Ram Gopal Varma has finally scrapped the idea of making the third part of his film “Sarkar”. Thus his on screen relationship with the Bachchans has come to an end, for now at least.

Lata Mangeshkar sang “Ae malik tere bande hum”, a song that inspired prisoners in V. Shantaram’s film “Do Aankhen Barah Haath” in 1957. Now Madhur Bhandarkar has the singing legend render a new-age ‘prison anthem’ in his latest movie “Jail”.

Actress Amrita Singh, Saif Ali Khan’s ex-wife, was recently called to take the hot seat on Star Plus’s new show “Sach Ka Saamna”, in which she would have to truthfully answer all questions posed to her by the show’s host Rajeev Khandelwal.
