Salaam-E-Ishq: Review…..
Salman-Priyanka in Salaam-E-IshqPathetic movie…..to say the least.
For the team who had come out with “Kal Ho Na Ho”, which I quite enjoyed and so did my friend KD, coz I made him watch that movie, say twice a week or so. Those times were just amazing we, the movie, the biriyani’s and the various wraps supplied by the vendor near our place and to add to it we had one room-mate whom we kindly called “The Moron” .
To describe “The Moron”…requires another article just dedicated to him…so forget him for the time being and let’s ponder on the job on hand…the review on the movie.
This was a movie which was supposed to create havoc at the box-office…but not to my surprise has not done too well, as most of the multi star casts never succeed at the box office.
The movie has 6 pairs in it, Salman the self claimed hero of the movie, is paired along with current hottie Priyanka Chopra.John with the female version of Emran Haashmi…..Guessing Who…? Naah not Mallika Sherawat! Its Vidya Balan.I guess she appear the most innocent of all the current crop of female actor in bollywood but certainly has at least one interesting scene per movie in all her movies done so far. If not all, most of it.
Then there is Anil Kapoor who is more like a buffoon rather than a sophisticated and stylish officer which he was supposed to portray in the movie. His role is just that he falls in love with a hot babe in the movie and is forgiven by his wife Juhi and his two kids as the movie reaches its climax. Believe it or not, Anil has shaven off his moustache in once of the scene in the movie, just to appear youthful…..hehehe….funny he looked.
The most interesting and good part of the movie is that of our very own Govinda.Must say as an audience I just wanted him to appear more on the screen .His only desire in the movie is that he should get hold of a blonde from abroad. To accomplish this he hangs around in his cab in front of the airport day in day out. He finally accomplishes his ambition.
Then there is one more couple in the movie …Sohail Khan and Isha Kopikkar. My friend KD feels that Sohail Khan for some reason or the other looks more like the Deol’s kin rather than a breed of the Khan’s…(KD needs to clarify on this please).They have a very interesting role in the movie…and do not speak a word other that some hilarious noises which he creates. Having sex with his newly wedded wife is his only goal in the movie
To say the least, the movie was dull and the performances were mere ordinary. I am wondering why I wasted my time writing this article on such a shoddily made movie… may be it can act as an warning message for all the viewers who haven’t yet watched the movie or the ones who are planning to.
To put it in brief, It was a let down by the team which produced “Kal Ho Na Ho.”

Apart from spradic moments of enjoyment, this movie will adorn the rubbish bin quite seamlessly. The only saving grace, if one may call it that, was Govinda and his role.
I'm not going to go much into the multiple plots as GAG did a great job with them. The songs were ok but the vocals didn't suit the actors at all. They sounded like they were stuck in an aluminium can when singing the songs!
Some directors do not realise that time is a premium. To drag a film for 3 hours and 40 minutes is just wrong. It's criminal, too! There ought to be a law that prevents directors from making a film that lasts over 2 hours 30 minutes.
agree with anon, what's with the current trend of subjecting mere mortals to epic boredom?
factual error guys... GAG enjoyed kal ho na ho, not me... it was a great phase and all that, but personally, if i'd met anybody from that starcast, i'd have shot them in the eye and probably tried administering painkillers just to keep them alive... that'd have given them a slight idea as to the pain i had to go through.
Gag,
Waiting for the one on moron dude...
oh and btw... watched Ekalavya yesterday and am still feeling homicidal. It's almost like these neanderthals are trying to make a movie bad
-KD
1) Priyanka - Salman
2) Vidya Balan - JA
3) Juhi - Anil
4) some blonde - Govinda
5) Isha - Sohail
Did you miss the 6th pair on purpose? Were they really that obnoxious?
I'm planning on retaining most of this starcast and adding Tushar Kapoor, SRK (and a few others of that kind) and making a nw movie...
Let's call it "The Zoo" what say?
-KD
KD,sorry dude...i should have known that you would count the pairs i have mentioned in the review...i guess i got a bit bored with it and therefore left out the 6'th pair.
So here its
6) Akshayee Khanna(not sure about the ee and nn) and the Pillow as her Fiancée.
They get engaged in the opening shot of the movie,and Mr.Khanna for unknown reason realize that he does not want to marry her...so he plans his way out and as expected of any bollywood movie pleads her to marry him at the climax...thats there part in the movie.
On watching KHNH with you and the Moron...it was fun...remember he getting up at 3 O clock in the nite and yelling "With or Without you"....it was fun....:)
Hope he does not get access to this blog...we will be dead...
