Watch The Other End of the Line For Free

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Best movie ever!

Absolutely Fantastic

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This is one of my favorite romantic comedies. The leads are attractive and skillful actors. It has significant humor, but the focus is on the relationship of the leads. One gets a bit of education about life in current day India. There are no flashy special effects, steamy sex scenes, car chases, or bad language. I guess that's what some people have a problem with??

To our reviewers who give this film a "10", come on...you've got to be kidding.To our reviewers who give this film a "0", come on...you've got to be kidding.This is a run-of-the-mill love story. Nothing special and it has its flaws, but it has its moments, too.The story idea is cute enough -- an ad agency man falls in "like" with a credit card call desk operator who sounds like an American woman, but is actually halfway around the world in India. The Indian call desk operator falls in love with the ad agency man. All this happens over the phone. So the Indian woman flies to San Francisco to meet Mr. Sexy Voice. Then there are the typical miscommunications and misunderstandings until...you guessed it...they live happily ever after.So what are the problems? The main problem is the woman's father (Anupam Kher, a popular Indian actor). I don't like this portrayal at all. It really detracts from the film. It's not that the overall idea is bad; but it's not handled well at all...at least for American audiences. The other problem is that the young man's profession...well, why not take it a little seriously to lend some credence to the plot; instead it's handled at an almost juvenile level. And then there's the casting of Larry Miller as the hotel executive; Larry Miller has his place...this was not it.On the other hand, it's nice that there was on-location shooting; it lent credence to the story line. Personally, I liked the chemistry between Jesse Metcalfe and Indian actress Shriya Saran. I think Metcalfe is significantly underrated. Let's face it, you don't get much more handsome than that, but in a number of films and television shows, I think he's at least a reasonably good actor (admittedly not one of the great actors...but few are), and this type of role is perfect for him. I was not familiar with Saran, but she is very pleasing in her role here.Bottom line: this was a decent little love story. Perhaps with a better director it would have been a better film. I still give it a "7".

First movie I've seen with Hollywood/Bollywood where theme will hold u for complete time.I am agreed that movie has no great starting time to make u impress but make sense that one girl is chasing up to find her faithful love which she believes.One part I was not convinced where her father went to USA first time in his life and got visa and all, looks like romantic friction. And, her father has problem with an American boy-that part was not directed well other wise it was perfect cute combination of love with different culture in one movie.I am impressed with new actors had nice chance to prove that now movie world is turning in different direction where new logic and new type of act will get part.8 out of 10

The plot follows the tried-and-tested romcom formula of boy-meets-girl - -> fall in love --> misunderstanding --> patch up --> happy ending. And in all honesty this "hybrid" movie had pretty good chances to strike it gold doing a piggy-back ride on the success of "Slumdog Millionaire". And to realise that, better writing was warranted. There are umpteen places where you feel why are the potholes are glaring at you? The girl's idea of her version of hen-night could have marinated better. And her parents tailing her is probably the lowest point in the movie. So is the creative guys finding stealing the idea from the girl. Well, the list just goes on. Shirya Sharan get the biggest pie, so much that it seems the movie was made to give her footing into the Hollywood.Jesse Metcalfe is confident. As the creative person in the movie, he falters in a few places.Anupam Kher, Sushmita Mukherjee, Kiran Juneja were plain loud. Tara Sharma reprises her usual "coy" performance.Not bad if you want to watch it when aired on telly.Ashok Amritraj – better luck next time.
