When Kareena was in town recently to promote her much talked about bollywood film, Kambakkht Ishq, she was initially quite cooled out. Kambakkht Ishq is a forthcoming Indian Bollywood film directed by Sabbir Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.

The film, a remake of the 2002 Tamil film Pammal K. Sambandam, will feature Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor in pivotal roles  along with actors Aftab Shivdasani and Amrita Arora in supporting roles.

Hollywood actors  Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and Brandon Routh will be appearing in cameos, reportedly playing themselves. Originally scheduled to release in December 2008, the film was postponed due to extensive production work and is now slated for a release on July 3, 2009.Kambakkht Ishq explores the relationship between two indviduals who are extremely different from each other.Akshay Kumar plays Viraj Shergill, a stuntman in Hollywood who thinks women are good only for two things…making love and making love.
Simrita Rai ( Kareena Kapoor) is a firebrand who is more than able to stare down at the most arrogant male with her caustic wit and sardonic tongue..her firm belief “there’s no such thing as love”

So what happens when the two people who hate each other the most meet at Simrita’s best friend Kamini’s and Viraj’s brother Lucky’s wedding ?…a wedding that both Viraj and Simrita are violently opposed to and desperate to stop.

New York that has John Abraham, Neil and Katrina kaif in lead role begins in the United States in 2008 with the arrest by the FBI of Omar (Neil Nitin Mukesh), a young Muslim man originally from Delhi, after guns were found in the trunk of a taxi cab he had been driving.

New York-Bollywood film

New York features John Abraham, Katrina Kaif and Neil Nitin Mukesh, and is set against the backdrop of the 9/11 terror attacks on the New York city.Neil is then taken into custody and interrogated by FBI Agent Roshan (Irrfan Khan), also a Muslim man originally from South Asia who has been living in the United States for twenty years.

After a period of time, Omar discovers that he is wanted by the FBI in order to spy on a former college friend, Samir or Sam (John Abraham), whom he hasn’t seen in seven years and who the FBI believes is a terrorist. In the process, he discovers that Sam has married Maya (Katrina Kaif), another college friend, and that they have a young son, Danyal (Aidan Wagner).

Roshan orders Omar to tell him everything he knows about Sam. The film then flashes back to September 1999 when Omar begins New York State University as an international student on scholarship. He is befriended by Maya who is his student counselor.

The average occupancy in multiplexes for the weekend stood at around 80-85 per cent, the highest since January, according to trade experts who track films’ collections. This was mainly on account of the release of New York and Terminator Salvation.
This is significant for both Bollywood and the 250-plus multiplexes, as they saw the monthly box office collections plummet to around Rs 10-15 crore, especially for April and May, when film producers and exhibitors were on a strike, which saw almost no new Hindi film release.
