Development and writing :
In November 2007, producer Sajid Nadiadwala signed on actor Akshay Kumar to play the lead role in his film. Later that month Kareena Kapoor was signed on to play the female lead. It is the seventh time Kumar and Kapoor are paired on-screen. Kumar plays a Hollywood stuntman in the film and Kapoor plays a high-society girl. According to Nadiadwala, “It will be an international love story on a lavish scale.”
The project was originally expected to commence filming in January 2008 in Los Angeles with nine actors from Hollywood but due to extensive pre-production work on the film, it was later shifted to May 2008. Reports indicated that actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger was signed on to do a cameo and that the film would feature a performance by singer and actress Beyoncé Knowles. Prashant Shah, line producer of Kambakkht Ishq in L.A. commented, “We are in talks with Beyoncé and we have also received a letter from Arnold’s office…Things will be confirmed shortly and we will be making a formal announcement when that happens.” It was later reported that neither star would be appearing in the film.
In March 2008, Nadiadwala announced that “this would be the first Indian film to be shot within Universal Studios.” However, when a fire broke out on the backlot of Universal Studios on 1 June 2008, the shooting of the film was expected to be delayed. But the producer indicated, “so far the area where we are supposed to shoot remains unaffected. So for now, we are proceeding on schedule.” Later that month, the cast finally began filming for the project in Los Angeles, California, where pivotal scenes were shot at the Kodak Theatre and Universal Studios. In August 2008, reports had indicated that the film was 50–60% complete and the cast would continue film shooting for the project in Venice, Italy. After completing their overseas schedule, the production team later headed to shoot in Mumbai, India.
During December 2008, reports surfaced indicating that Kumar and Kapoor would appear alongside Carmen Electra in a promotional music video for the film. In February 2009, Nadiadwala announced that Electra wouldn’t be appearing in the music video and was replaced by the music group RDB. According to Nadiadwala, “It is not a music video but a song that we will use as an integral part of the film. It will occur close to the film’s interval. It will also be the first promotional song.” The first trailer of the film was shown alongside the release of Jehangir Surti’s film Aa Dekhen Zara (2009).

Kambakkht Ishq Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 3.9 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 6591.
This movie is awful, just about everything in the move is bad. If you are a normal human being & never been to any mental asylum this movie might make you puke. Whats sad is that this movie stars Stallone & Denise Richards, so many non-Indians might watch it for them and make a wrong assumption about Indian movies. To all them I must say, this is not what a Indian movie is.
This is not even a film, its just a caricature to make money pleasing the uneducated sex-starved class. This ones doesn’t have any story, acting is terrible. The leading lady Kareena Kapoor has a song where she is seducing a man & is fully clothed, but her dance moves & hand gestures are so vulgar that you will feel ashamed. The film is a misogynist film, showing women in poor light. The Hollywood talent are wasted & made fun of. Avoid is if you love yourself.
Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 3.5 star out of 5 Star.
