Watch Marigold For Free

The Worst Film Ever

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Blistering performances.

Marigold is not your typical Bollywood masala movie; it's a straight-up romance with a couple of beautiful song and dance scenes. What makes this movie worth watching is Marigold's growth and Prem's gentleness. Ali Larter does an amazing job starting as a complete b****, but taken out of her comfort zone and dependant on the graciousness of Indian culture, let's her find who she wants to be. Salman Khan is at his sweetest best in this film - gentle and gracious, honest and straightforward, and a little vulnerable. No, he doesn't lose his shirt in this one and there are no fight scenes (like I said, not masala). The end is predictable and a bit drawn out, but sweet nonetheless. If you are interested in Indian culture and movies but struggle with subtitles (never do dubbed, you lose so much that way), start with Marigold and Bride and Prejudice.

To me Bollywood movies are not generally up to much, though they are still quite desired and Bollywood is a big file maker as they have their own fans.The only motive that made me watch the movie was to see to what extent an American actress could change or affect the logic that Indian movie were based on. Not only did not it change the movie story also this blending caused some ridiculous series of events.I mean it is quite common to see heaps of illogical things through Indian movies as they have their own world in their movies. But once you see such incidents happen to an American it makes you laugh. For God's sake can you believe a famous American actress is stuck in desperate situation and feel impotent. Can you imagine an American actress falls in loves with a dance instructor whose fiancée already fell in love with American's boy friend and they met each other at the same time. There were lot of similar things to mention. the less said the better.Perhaps I was wrong as I expected too much from Indian Movies.

If you have ever seen a Bollywood movie, you know they are longer than most movies due to the multiple song and dance routines (each one is over five minutes long). Fortunately, this one has fewer song and dance routines and fits into the "standard" movie length. Don't get me wrong, I like Bollywood movies, but tend to fast forward through the song and dance portions. I bought this DVD because I am an Ian Bohen fan. Although his role wasn't as large as I hoped, he still had a good amount of screen time. And his character was much different than his other roles.Overall, this was a good movie. Like most Bollywood movies, there is at least one element of controversy/conflict of the traditional Indian culture. But true love triumphs over adversity and a happy ending is had by all.

I had no expectations (never saw previews for "Marigold") and enjoyed the characters, contemporary music, and sharp dancing in this light-hearted movie. Even though 98% of the dialog is English (great thing for me), I wish the DVD had subtitles to help with some of the quick moments when the character's accent can be difficult to understand. I wouldn't judge this movie against Bollywood films, but just on it's own merits as fun entertainment (a musical people movie).I'm hooked on Ali Larter as an actress (and her interviews in the Bonus Material indicate she is a nice person). I have since watched this movie several times (gets better each time).
