Akshay Kumar has reasons to smile. His much hyped ‘Kambakkth Ishq’ has managed to build a good hype amongst the audiences, something which is reflecting from the favourable response that it has received via a healthy advance booking. Though quite a few multiplexes and single screens opened their advance booking only on Wednesday (which is the norm), some major chains (like PVR) opened it early as Sunday to gauge audience’s interest in the film. Thankfully, it was all positive, something which would definitely have contributed to sudden plans for paid previews that were hosted on Thursday.
However, Sajid Nadiadwala and Co. took a guarded approach as instead of going ballistic with paid previews and playing multiple shows all through the evening and night, they kept it low profile with only a show each at select multiplexes in major cities. Moreover, the show timings were also quite late in the night with some of them beginning as late as 11 PM. Obviously, the makers and especially the leading man Akshay Kumar have learnt the lesson from ‘Chandni Chowk To China’ debacle where negative reviews had started flowing as early as 9 PM Thursday night once the first paid preview (at 6PM) had come to a close.
Though sources indicate that the makers of ‘Kambakkth Ishq’ are quite confident of their product, it made sense to have a restricted viewing of the film rather than it being a wholesome affair, lest it led to any negativity. In any case, record number of prints are being circulated across the country which means that opening weekend collections should be quite a bountiful.
There have been murmurs around the promos not being really strong for this Akshay and Kareena starrer. However, one just hopes that the team of ‘Kambakkth Ishq’ is hiding the real stuff in the background rather than revealing it all in the promos itself; a mistake that recent release ‘Paying Guest’ made and suffered badly. It would be better for a film with such a huge scale to let audiences warm up to the film and that’s a path this Sabbir Khan directed film seems to be taking.
As are the indicators right now, the film should fetch good numbers in the opening weekend even if they aren’t record breaking per se. While ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ and ‘Singh Is Kinng’ hold the record of netting 40 crores or more in their first week (with ‘Ghajini’ going through the ceiling with a 60 crores + opening, it would be fair if ‘Kambakkth Ishq’ crosses 35 crores mark at the least. This is where the film seems to be headed as well and even though a few may complain that these collections would be less for an Akshay Kumar biggie, one has to keep in mind that he has suffered two recent flops in ‘Chandni Chowk To China’ and ’8X10 Tasveer’, something which is looming large on audience’s mind. Moreover, 35 crores is not a bad number too as long as the film can sustain in weeks to come.
With ‘Shortkut – The Con Is On’ being the only major release in week to follow and ‘Jashnn’ arriving on 17th July, ‘Kambakkth Ishq’ now has to be just a decent enough film to keep showing steady collections before ‘Luck’ arrives on 24th July.

kitne paise liye bacho????
bULL SHIT MOVIE, 100 CRORES IN A WEEK, WHAT A LIE TAKE OUT ONE ZERO FROM 100. From next week empty theatres, take my word…….You cannot fool people with this kind of movies…..Akshy please do not waste your energy acting in this kind of movies and please do not compare your self with king khan, he has given block buster hits from last fifteen years and you started giving hits recently, instead of back biting, be thankful to god for what he has given and spend time in being more creative and improve your performance and stop giving advance party for a flop movie,
The film was okey for a time pass…….. but just in the first half…. in the second half it tries to connect emotionally but failed to……………….
i wud recommend akshay to work on proper scrips…….. like namastey london….. where humor is within the movie and the movie is not within the humor……………
and abt SRK , rnbdj had no sense…….. and evn no humour……. it was evn worst….
but i respect shahrukh for his work in so many grt movies…..
i wud want these stars to work on the script and screenplay part…….
NILESH u r absolutely right
akshay is the best…
he deserve to be no.1
it has been cleared that gross week collections of KAMBAKHT ISHQ (HITTT) is over 102 carore…
ye HAKLOO KHAN (Ass Are Gay) ke chamche abhi tak muvi ko criticize karne me lage hain..

Akki is the real hero,in past he had already done unique performances,no body can touch Akki,now everybody under who is the number one in bolliwood.
Akki is delighted country I am proud of you.
keep it up
because no body will touch you even you stand on current position.
Because position is winning boundry.
Its a superb movie better than DDLJ and Akshay has given one tight slap on critics face as well as Shahrukhs face….SRK is now nowhere with his FCUK movies like RNBDJ etc where a wife who gets fcuked by a man daily and cud’nt recognise him without mushtache wot the fcuk for Chopra’s and SRK…Akki is brand rocker….KI has earned 110 Crore in week one and thats slightly more than Ghajini….The first week collection of Kambakht Ishq is more than till date collection of DDLJ…ha ha ha….so now its Akshay’s world….He is the KINGGGGGGGGGG….SRK is the bottom, line hero no 4 after Akki, Hrithik, AAmir there comes SRK….
Akki keep making all of us Proud…We are all proud of akki as he worked with Bond Girl, Rambo (Stallone) and Routh…..I have read on a news repost that famous people like Stallone, Denise dont even know who is As Are Gay?…he he he
so SRK is jus a local ass licker…..let him critise Kambakht ishq has earned more than wot DDLJ has earned in 10 years in jus a week…\
SRK + Chopra + Johar’s + Times of India <<<<<<<< Akshay the Bap of bolliwood
The truth is these pakistani in India can not digest any non pakistani becoming i superstar…but now its time to digest the truth Akshay is the baap of Hindustani Industry ….we dont need u PAKISTANIS>>>>>>>>>and SR KHANNNNN (PAKISTAN KA KUTTA)….
