Thanks for the memories!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Salaam Namasta! I'm so impressed by this movie! Best I have seen in ages, the romantic scenes, the fight scenes, the songs, the dances, also the lyrics are great! Nick(Saif Ali Khan) and Amber(Preity Zinta) are great skilled actors. I have watched this movie 3 times already, believe it or not I'm going to see it again. In the beginning of the movie they meet each other on the beach, there were the fun really starts. The Indo-Australian guy is most funny. His girl keeps saying sorry on his questions, just very hilarious. The song "what's going on" is one of best, actual all songs are cool. You just need to check it out. If you like drama with humor, and a happy end you must definitely watch this movie! Thumps up!!!
Javed Jaffry is great in this movie . A genuine classic comedy character up there with Sholay's Soorma Bhopali or Padosan's Masterji. Unfortunately , he can't live the movie enough to make me give it anything more than 1 point . For Javed's 15 minutes of screen-presence , I had to go thru' Preity Zinta's 2 hours.How dumb can a Hindi movie be , when 3 people are sitting on a table and two are talking in Hindi , when the third one butts in and says 'English , Please' ?!! And why in the name of God , does this movie have to be based in Australia ? Is it to prove the Australia doesn't make good contraceptives ? ( By the way , the movie is about a contraceptive gone wrong ) The first half had some light watchable and listenable moments , but the second half was Ufff .... TOO MUCH SHREIKING for my pleasure . Abhishekh Bacchan enters supposed as a likable bumbling doctor. But he doesn't look like any doctor . He just looks like Abhishekh Bacchan with bad makeup and horrible overacting , possibly as a result of some contract gone wrong with the producer.Overall , a bad movie . Worth watching on pirated DVD's just for Javed JAffry.
Okay guys don't go losing your minds because I just compared this cute piece of crap to one of the best Hollywood films of 2004! The only resemblance that Salaam Namaste shares with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is that it shows us a side of relationships that we don't usually see in films. And that's where the similarities end. That's the only way it gained 5 stars from me. I liked the way it addressed relationships especially in the 21st century. Somebody needs to send Preity Zinta a memo for her to stop accepting roles in which she portrays desperate women who have to con men to love them! I mean come on! A man doesn't need to have a degree in Neuro-surgery before he realises that he is in love, and Preity, pretty please, stop playing these tired stereotypes of women willing to try and give those men their love degrees! That said, Salaam Namaste is a good looking film about good looking people, living in a good looking country, have good looking jobs and good looking lives, until they meet and fall in love with each other. Then everything is not so good looking any more! Babes, why wasn't Salaam Namaste something original again? Sorry? Exaaaactly! :-D It was mediocre yaar! The out-takes were funnier and more entertaining than the movie!
i was frankly impressed at this one,coming from the yash raj stable.i may have been prejudiced by preity zinta's charms .but sharmila's boy i can't really stand usually.here he's made up to look a bit more macho,and he gives a thoroughly convincing performance as nikhil the architect turned celebrity chef nick.the theme is a bit passé for even the urban Indians in the metros,but the film doesn't come across stale at any point.all in all a feel-good family flick! the theme of pre-marital intimacy is definitely not new(see raj kapoor's bobby from1 1973,and aradhana,masoom etc.)but that does not stop this film from handling premarital sex and pregnancy,which non resident Indian populations are struggling to come to terms with.second generation Indians have adopted values and different value systems than their parents... the age-old theme again.but it is not just the gen-X Indian youth,the film addresses,but the whole question of love and responsibility,which saves it from being another run-of the mill potboiler
