Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 05/07/2019
The trouble with Kismat Konnection is not only its predictable screenplay, but its even more predictable filling-in-of-the-spaces between the first and the last frame, and the lack of any real fire, barring a stray sequence or two, between the lovebirds.

Despite being set in Canada and having a female lead with brains and a social conscience, this new offering fails to inspire. Go to Full Review Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) 07/28/2008
2.5/4
A movie that was inspired by the Lindsay Lohan flop "Just My Luck" should not run three minutes longer than "The Dark Knight." Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/05/2016 It was entertaining though I agree that it is too long. See more 07/05/2016 A Good Film Of Shahid Kapoor,But It Lacked In Some Parts Like Chemistry Of Both Shahid And Vidya Balan(Actress Of Bhool Bhulaiya).I Said It Because She(Vidya)Was Looking Elder Sister Of Shahid Kapoor.In Glamour And Music It Was Different :) So Overall A Average Movie Better Then Just My Luck. See more 07/05/2016 Nice locales..good cinematography..peppy music...sincere acting by the lead pair...thats how I would sum up Kismat Konnection A feel good film by Aziz Mirza, the film has a freshness about it. However the script could have been tighter. It is a paperthin plot.. Shahid Kapoor does his part sincerely but time to let go of the SRK hangover. Vidya has a new hairstyle but needs a new dress designer, gym trainer and needs to look less consious on camera! (She should sack her dress designer NOW! and throw away all those short skirts). Juhi looks plump...and sometimes overacts. and why does everyone Shahid meet in Toronto speak in hindi? Of the supporting cast, Om Puri, Himani Shivpuri and Vishal act well.The others ham! Boman is wasted. The film still has you humming the songs as you walk out of the theatre. Watch it for the songs and the 'moments'. See more 02/01/2012 Good comedy and romance..... Beautiful songs....Shahid is a very good dancer, acting was great and i really liked juhi chawla as medium.... See more 12/08/2011 Kismat Konnection will be loved by the people who hardly watch films. It is a decent and enjoyable watch, and a fine film which is definatley worth a watch! Don't miss this one... Recommended (One Time Watch) Verdict = Above Average See more 04/26/2011 Another wastage of time. There is nothing to review about the movie. See more Read all reviews
