I love this movie so much
Very Cool!!!
I wanted to but couldn't!
Great Film overall
Stereotype Love story.The love story wasn't even good but what can you expect from Bollywood.. There was no point of having 12 main actors. Really, 6 couples and my 3 year old child's love story book have a better love story than this movie. Should i watch it? No, you shouldn't. Bollywood = same story over and over again. It's like a money business. Bollywood is not an art.Sexism. When will Bollywood get rid of sexism? When will Bollywood stop telling women on how they should behave? Fortunately, this movie does not contain Racism or anti-gay.
It's amazing to see how Nikhil Advani manages to attract people to the theater till the very day of the release. I mean..... look at the cast here , the promotion is superb, good enough songs and the trailers are fine. This makes it a house full on the first day, but it's only when people go and see the film they realize that there is no way their money is refundable. House full the first day , the movie is out the next week. This film, inspired by 'Love Actually' is what they say, didn't manage to handle the whole cast well. They tried to put in big stars but ended up by not even managing to bring out even an average performance by any one. The stories are hollow and cheesy, so the audience can't connect with any single one of them. It's a big disappointment to all those who like big stars or for that matter Nikhil Advani after his big success of 'Kal Ho Na Ho'.
(**Some Spoilers**) I think Nikhil Advani tried to be too clever with this one, and it backfired on him. He did everything right with Kal Ho Naa Ho, unfortunately this one does not live up to the standard he left. I have to say I expected a lot more from this movie, being a Kal Ho Naa Ho lover, I thought this would be of the same level, unfortunately not.Salaam-e-Ishq is a poor Love Actually ripoff. Love Actually isn't the best film ever made I admit, but it is better than this and it isn't a friggin' 3 and a half hours long! And Love Actually had EIGHT couples/story lines, and managed to be much shorter than Salaam-e-Ishq, whereas Salaam-e-Ishq has SIX couples/story lines, and is SO much longer. Then again, trust Bollywood to add in like a million song and dance sequences.The stories: Tehzeeb and Ashutosh (Vidya Balan, John Abraham) are a young couple in love and cannot keep their hands off each other, when Tehzeeb loses her memory, she forgets him and their love, and Ashutosh must get it back. Vinay (Anil Kapoor) and Seema (Juhi Chawla) who have been married for a long time. They live in London, have 2 children, and a large house. However Vinay is not content with this and his relationship with his family breaks when he gets involved with a much younger woman named Anjali. Shiven (Akshaye Khanna) and Seema's sister Gia (Ayesha Takia) are engaged, but Shiven has a commitment phobia and gets cold feet very easily. Gia loves him deeply but when she realises his cold feet she leaves him. And Shiven has to get her back somehow. Kkamini (Priyanka Chopra) is an item girl in the Film Industry but craves to be a full-blown heroine, unfortunately the media won't take her seriously and neither will film directors. Kkamini creates a phony lover named Rahul to push her into the media spotlight, but when a Rahul (Salman Khan) comes along she is forced to go with it and her lie becomes a reality. Raju (played by Govinda) is a taxi driver with big dreams of love. He believes one day his blonde, blue-eyed dream girl will step through the airport doors and into his taxi. One day it happens, but not in the way he expects. Sohail Khan and Ishaa Koppikar make small appearances every now and then as Couple Six, who want to spice up their personal life.The performances seemed very forced, and I was not impressed. Juhi Chawla, was the only one who acted in the whole film. She was practically screaming "I am the only decent performer" throughout the whole 3 and a half hours, and I wish she had been given a bigger part. She was so wasted. Anil Kapoor, her on screen husband didn't impress me. He was so wooden and did nothing but look stoned in his scenes, which was meant to be 'love'. He also fell in love with a young girl who I found extremely unattractive, and the scenes with Juhi and Anil's kids was seriously exaggerated. But I liked the Juhi-Anil story best and found it the story which was the most real. Priyanka Chopra looked strangely gorgeous, but her storyline with Salman was utter rubbish. Since when do publicity stunts come true? Their plot was a load of b.s and the performances of both of them were just as bad. They had the worst storyline but the most screen time in the movie, I wonder why (hint hint, director was scared of Salman)Another story that was very well done was the Gia-Shiven story. Akshaye Khanna is a really good actor. I haven't seen many of his films but I saw Dil Chahta Hai and I loved him in it, and he was just as good here. He was in a very Chandler-Bing-from-Friends mode, but he did it well and his on screen chemistry with Ayesha Takia is memorable. They didn't have too much time together but I really liked their story. Vidya Balan and John Abraham's try on Tehzeeb and Ashutosh was cute but not perfect. Vidya played her part well but John did not seem to match up to her. Not only did he seem very fake all through the movie but his performance was really over-the-top. He needed to tone it down a little and be more natural.Govinda was extremely good as Raju but I didn't like his partner Shannon Esrechowitz. Her attempt to speak Hindi was an a poor attempt to be like Alice Patten from Rang De Basanti. On the other hand she had a good chemistry with Govinda and some of their scenes together are the most memorable in the film. Ishaa Koppikar and Sohail Khan just embarrassed themselves throughout and made me cringe every time they came on screen. Since when people get intimate like that I do not know. Thank God their parts weren't big or I would have been extremely irritated.Salaam-e-Ishq is commercially successful but there is barely any substance. This would have been a great film if it had been executed correctly.
Salaam-e-Ishq is a wonderful movie. Although there were many bigwigs of the industry it did not seem crowed at all.Govinda-Shannon pairing brought on a good comic relief and the Sohail-Isha dilemma was a worthwhile effort in the movie there desperation for a what every married couple can do was hilarious every failed attempt was a laugh.John and Vidya were beautiful together. they had chemistry and john gave the performance of his career. His character really jumped out and seemed realistic. Vidya was equally good she seems to be able to portray every situation naturally. Johns ability to cry has the power of making those watching cry with him. Vidyas confusion pours out of her eyes. hats off to those two.Salman and Priyanka were good although i think their script wasn't developed enough. They should have had either a bigger part in the film or a smaller one. Priyanka was good and there pairing works. Salman's hair style succeeded in taking years of his ace.Anil-Juhi-Anjana pairing did not fit. Juhi's role was underplayed until the end which didn't work well for Anil. if there relationship had been shown prior to his meeting with Anjana then the effect would have been better.Akshaye Khanna ones again dazzles the audience with an uncanny imitation of almost every bachelor before marriage. Ayesha's characters belief and trust in love was a great foil to Akshaye's confusion. Her Stabilty carries this love story through to the end.all in all the movie is a must see for all those who are crazy about love stories. the ending is great starting with Johns heart wrenching proposal to Priyankas with everyone else falling in between. Govinda and Shannon click beautifully in the end with Shannon's speech in Hindi leaving us rolling on the floor. Akshaye's forgetfulness adds a lightness to the scene.Adnan Sami's Dil Kya Kare is a delightful song and the rest left me tapping my feet and humming it. 8 out of ten
