CNN IBN: By Rajeev Masand 
Rating: 1.5/5
Ambitious but seriously flawed, the film smacks of laziness in virtually all departments, and even Karisma Kapoor’s earnest performance can’t save the day. Plodding on for close to two hours and thirty minutes, this film will make you wish you’d knocked back a stiff one before taking your seat........Read Full Review

The strength of DANGEROUS ISHHQ lies is its attention-grabbing plot, which the Indian masses can relate to instantaneously. But, alas, it's the screenplay that throws a spanner, with the over-stretched second hour and a formulaic conclusion ruining what Vikram had meticulously put together in the first half. On the whole, DANGEROUS ISHHQ is no patch on Vikram Bhatt's earlier achievements. This fantasy-driven film is an epic disappointment! ..…... Read Full Review

Indeed Dangerous Ishhq is a far greater achievement than a sum-total of its storytelling and technique. Vikram Bhatt creates an audacious heady mix of mythology and the supernatural. Honestly it's hard to imagine Dangerous Ishhq without Karisma's serene graceful presence......Read Full Review

What’s Good: Karisma Kapoor’s earnest performance.
What’s Bad: The ineffective screenplay which tests the audience’s patience; the contrived and unbelievable drama; the useless 3D version.
Verdict: Dangerous Ishhq is boring and insipid.
Watch or Not?: Watch it only if you are interested in the subject of past life regressions...…..Read Full Review

After having watched the film I can confirm that it is indeed about past life regression. I can also confirm that the regression here is not confined to past life. It is also a regression into an era when Bollywood filmmakers could grossly underestimate their audiences' thinking capacity and get away with it...…..Read Full Review

The dangers of watching this tiring thriller are many. Apart from fueling existential crisis, it may finger your present (state of mind) in more ways than the past or the future can collectively repair. Still want to watch it for Karisma? I’d rather opt for Biwi No.1 or Hero No.1 or Coolie.No.1. Anyone but this one.......Read Full Review

At the concept level, Dangerous Ishhq does have something going for it beyond the stereoscopic 3D that it has been filmed in. The screenplay is consistent in its convolutions. But the plot is riddled with moments that stretch credulity to snapping point. So is the film’s toying with the theme of the past living on in the present.......Read Full Review

‘Dangerous Ishhq’ looks like a hilarious spoof on Dr Brian Weiss book rendered in a 3D format. Trust…if you watch this film, you will swear never to watch 3D ever again......Read Full Review

Some films manage to baffle you from start to finish. 'Dangerous Ishq' is one of those: it is unbelievable in all kinds of ways, not one of them pleasant.This is a terrible film, with not one redeeming factor.......Read Full Review

Rating: 1.5/5
Dangerous Ishhq is an epic love story that repeats itself from 1535 to the present because in each era the lovers are thwarted. Kapoor is an attractive woman who tries earnestly to make sense of this time-warped story. But it is a Herculean task. Dangerous Ishhq proves to be dangerous indeed.......Read Full Review

Talking about the 3D, after watching Dangerous Ishhq you will want to curse the guy who invented it and all those (Vikram Bhatt) who messed it up so badly thinking it was the coolest thing ever...…Read Full Review

A flawless act by Karisma Kapoor, a crisp direction, intelligent editing and cinematography are the strengths. Some loopholes in the storyline, impactless dialogues, especially in the first half and the music are the weak points.....…Read Full Review

Overall, Vikram Bhatt has a wonderful story and he has a great attention to the details of the ages. If he had avoided the dragging moments in the second hours, Dangerous Ishhq could have been very interesting watch......Read Full Review
Bollywood Life: By Letty Mariam Abraham
Rating: 3/5
Vikram Bhatt has done a good job at interweaving the past and the present. The story narration was to the point, which made it an interesting watch. The idea of past life regression is novel, but not many will relate to it or understand its intricacies. The 3D work still looks very amateur and is rather painful to the eyes...…..Read Full Review

Rating: 2/5
The movie begins with a whimper, gets into thriller zone after 20 minutes and then meanders along with one past life after another which makes it more a costume drama than a thriller. All you see is child-like fantasy. I'd say a lot of money has been invested in a 3D movie on a topic which turns into comedy mid-way....…….Read Full Review
