This was a much better movie then expected.Raj Malhotra, who was once the most popular person in his college. when he was also top in almost everything, finds himself unable to get any jobs, any projects or any clients as an architect. In fact his Kismat is bad until he meets a Gypsy woman who begins to predict things for him and that he needs a lucky charm to change his life.Inspired by the Hollywood movie "Just My Luck," it stars Shahid Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Vishal Malhotra, Juhi Chawla, Om Puri, Himani Shivpuri and Boman Irani. The voice over is by Shahrukh Khan and is directed by the director of movies such as "Chalte Chalte, "Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hidustani" and "Raju Bangaya Gentleman," Aziz Mirza.This is definitely one of the better movies for Shahid Kapoor and one is able to see some sort of chemistry between him and Vidya Balan, who also looks quite gorgeous. It is also one of the better movies that I have seen this year, considering the amount of flops that have been taking place. There are also some moments that are at times funny and Aziz Mirza has done a good job of this and has managed to bring out the best from both his main actors - Shahid and Vidya in terms of expressions.Conclusion: Although the story is predictable, this is one movie that can be watched with family members and children. Worth watching.

It's 2.5 hours of annoyance from dumb and dumber Shahid Kapur and his side-kick (I forgot his name). The movie is poorly edited. It goes on and on and on with inane dialogues and idiotic behaviour. The lead lives in Canada, but doesn't know how to use an ATM card! And, this nuisance is repeated. Hey, it's at least better than Sawariya.On the positive side, I at least got $2 worth of entertainment from my $10 ticket, because of Vidya Balan. I hope the other $8 went to the the community centre, which is Vidya Balan's pet project.-Sunil

Clichéd. Very clichéd.Those expecting a romantic extravaganza akin to Shahid's Jab We Met will be very disappointed. Nothing about the movie clicks. The comedy is non-existent. The storyline is predictable and the portrayal is mediocre. The beginning of the movie although not very promising was at least decent. The first half is light-hearted and raised expectations. But the second half is lengthy and stretches on, much to the impatience and frustration of the viewers. Even the twists and turns were stereotypical and had nothing new to offer. The songs were good and refreshing. The acting was OK. The chemistry between Shahid and Vidya was not very good. All in all it is not a movie worth wasting your time and money on.A lousy effort.

Another romantic story. Not the best of executions with a dragging second half. lots of (expected) turn of events. This summarizes Kismat Connection. Movie starts of well with Shahid being a winner in his college but a loser in the big bad world of business because his Luck seems to have run out. However situation changes when Vidhya enters the movie. However there is a catch with her engagement and her dedication towards community center of old people. Shahid lies loves and does all things to keep his "Lucky charm" with him however things end up in a different manner...Shahid Kapoor acts well but vidhya balan is almost like his elder sister or something. Seems like a big misfit of cast.Supporting cast is good and has a few hilarious moments. Juhi chawla is wasted and given a poor role with even a poorer execution. Overall atime pass movie if you are free and have nothing else to do worthwhile. Go with low expectations and you might enjoy the film.6/10
