Kareena Kapoor won all the awards and accolades for her lively performance in Jab We Met last year.
But 2008 has comparatively been more unproductive for the actress with Tashan being a disaster at the box-office, Roadside Romeo not finding much acceptance with the audience and the only hit Golmaal Returns not working much in her favour.
Golmaal Returns was one of those films, which as Kareena confesses, she did just for some fun (and obviously good money). So the overall success ratio that Kareena had in 2008 was next to nothing.
That makes us wonder - What will be her fate with films in 2009? The 3 films she has on her hands are 3 Idiots , Main Aur Mrs Khanna and Kambhakt Ishq . Of that, Kambhakt Ishq has been in news for its international cast. We ask prominent numerologist Niraj Mancchanda on Kareena’s success ratio in 2009 and with some quick calculations he reverts saying, “ Kambhakkt Ishq will be commercially successful but Kareena won’t get much credit for the film.”
But with Kareena being the lead actress of the film won’t she be the one hogging all the limelight? But seeing what Golmaal Returns did to her, where the film was promoted on her name but Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor gained more recognition, it is quite possible that she could be sidelined in Kambhakkt Ishq.
Mancchanda goes on to add, “Its international celebrities like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who are a part of the film, who will walk away with maximum recognition for Kambhakkt Ishq ”. Interestingly the title Kambhakkt Ishq in itself has some numerological alterations done to its name. Sajid Nadiadwala’s last film Heyy Babyy also was numerologically reworked with extra alphabets.
