==Plot==
The story of the film spans over a period of four centuries and tells four different stories set in different time periods. Supermodel Sanjana ([[Karisma Kapoor]]) and Rohan ([[Rajneesh Duggal]]), son of one of the nation's foremost business tycoon are a popular couple on the social circuit. When Sanjana decides against flying to [[Paris]] at the last minute for a lucrative modelling assignment, she does so, not just because she cannot bear to stay away from Rohan, but more importantly, because her instincts push her against going. Rohan gets abducted and the high-profile kidnapping creates chaos in Sanjana's life. The kidnappers demand 500 million. The police however believe that even paying the ransom will not bring Rohan back. Shortly after Rohan gets kidnapped, Sanjana starts hearing strange noises. She has visions of Rohan calling her Geeta. With all this happening, Sanjana realises that she can read [[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]] even though she has never learnt it. She informs her doctor friend Neetu ([[Divya Dutta]]) about it, who in turns refers her to a psychiatrist.

The latter informs Sanjana that Rohan's kidnapping is somehow linked to their past lives. Sanjana undergoes a [[past life regression]] where she sees herself as Mehrunissa, a young [[Gujjars|Gujjar]] girl who is in love with a Iqbal ([[Rajneesh Duggal]]), a [[Kashmiri Muslims|Kashmiri Muslim]] boy. Her entire family has been killed by her uncle. Iqbal suggests that the only way Mehrunnisa can escape her death is by leaving Kashmir and settle down in Jammu. Later, it is revealed that Iqbal's friend Aarif ([[Arya Babbar]]) is the antagonist, whose purpose is to separate the two lovers because he supposes Mehrunissa's family to be a collaborator.

Sanjana's next life is that of a Muslim girl, Salma. Here again, she loves a young man named Ali ([[Rajneesh Duggal]]). The latter leaves for a war with his companion Rashid ([[Sameer Kochhar]]). When the war is over, everyone returns except for Ali. Rashid informs Salma that her lover has been killed. It is later revealed that Ali is alive and that it was all Rashid's plan to separate the two lovers. With this particular regression, it is also revealed that Rohan's younger brother Rahul ([[Ruslaan Mumtaz]]) is involved in his brother's kidnapping.

Sanjana's last past life is that of a young Indian [[Celibacy|celibate]] named Paro. She is secretly in love with Raj Dutt ([[Rajneesh Duggal]]). The Commander-in-Chief of [[Rajputana]]. Durgam Sah ([[Ravi Kishan]]) also loves her. When she rejects his love and commits suicide, Durgam takes the help of a psychic named Mantra. He asks Mantra to give him the power to remember everything regarding his current life so that he can continue to separate the two lovers in the next lifetimes. That being said, Durgam Sah, Rashid, and Aarif all have the same soul, but different faces. Their only aim is to separate Sanjana and Rohan. Now the question remains: in which form did Durgam Sah take birth during the present life?

During the climax, it is finally revealed that ACP Singh ([[Jimmy Sheirgill]]) is the new Durgam Sah. In a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse all is revealed and at the film's climax, Sanjana is able to recognise who ACP Singh really is by a mark on his shoulder. She then proceeds to fatally wound him. This breaks the cycle and it is revealed that Sanjana and Rohan's souls are able to be together for ever.

==Reception==

===Critical reception===
Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave the movie 1.5 stars out of 5, noting that "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. I'm going with one-and-a-half out of five for director Vikram Bhatt's 'Dangerous Ishq'. 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."<ref>{{cite web |title=Masand: 'Dangerous Ishq' is unintentionally comical |url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masand-dangerous-ishq-is-seriously-flawed/256993-47-84.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120512212006/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masand-dangerous-ishq-is-seriously-flawed/256993-47-84.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=12 May 2012 |work=CNN-IBN |author=Rajeev Masand |date=11 May 2012}}{{Rating|1.5|5}}</ref>

Kathika Kandpal of Filmfare gave the movie 2 stars out of 5, concluding that "Watch this and you might feel Karisma's Baaz – A Bird in Danger (2003) was a classic."<ref>{{cite web |title=Movie Review: Dangerous Ishq 3D |url=http://filmfare.com/reviews/movie-review-dangerous-ishq-3d_-404.html |work=Filmfare |author=Kathika Kandpal |date=11 May 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120515034842/http://filmfare.com/reviews/movie-review-dangerous-ishq-3d_-404.html |archive-date=15 May 2012}}{{Rating|2|5}}</ref> Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the movie 1.5 stars out of 5, commenting that "On the whole, Dangerous Ishqq is no patch on Vikram Bhatt's earlier achievements.

There's only so much curiosity you can have in somebody else's life. By the end of the ordeal you wish to be treated to a past life regression theory to find out what was it that drew you to it. Go curse your karma now."<ref>{{cite web |title=Review: To curse your karma, watch Dangerous Ishhq |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/review_review-to-curse-your-karma-watch-dangerous-ishhq_1687286 |work=DNA India |author=Blessy Chettiar |date=11 May 2012}}{{Rating|1|5}}</ref> Shubhra Gupta of Indian Express gave the movie 0.5 stars out of 5, noting that "Karisma looks unbelievably trim for a 'do-bachchon-ki-amma', but that doesn't stop her from sliding all the way back into her familiar 90s style acting, where everything was over the top, from arch expressions to clothes to make-up. This is a terrible film, with not one redeeming factor."<ref>{{cite web |title=Dangerous Ishq |url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/dangerous-ishq/948215/0 |work=Indian Express |author=Shubhra Gupta |date=11 May 2012}}{{Rating|0.5|5}}</ref>
