Namastey London (2007)

Thanks for the memories!

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Nice effects though.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Jasmeet (Katrina Kaif) was raised in London and has turned into a wild young woman, rejecting her Indian roots and going by the appropriate name of "Jazz". Her father (Rishi Kapoor) takes her on a trip through India, ending in his hometown in Punjab. While there, he marries her (not willingly) to his best friend's son, Arjun (Ashkay Kumar). When the couple returns to London, Jazz announces that she doesn't recognize the Indian marriage, and proceeds with her plans of becoming the fourth wife of her boss (Clive Standen). Arjun, must either give in gracefully and lose his wife, or find a way to fight for his marriage by showing Jazz that true love can win.The plot is cute and fun, and I enjoyed it. Kumar is a good actor and played both comedy and serious well. I'm not fond of Kaif, and don't feel that she is a particularly good actress, but she was well suited for this role. The supporting cast (especially Nina Wadia) are excellent. The locations and cinematography were great. However, I actively disliked the club music/dancing, and for me that lowered the movie from four stars to three.

It is the best Akshay-Katrina movie duo till today.Unlike Akshay Kumar's other illogical movies this was an astounding movie to watch.A treat for romantic comedy movie fans.Akshay started doing comedy films since late 90's but tasted success, after Hera Pheri in the comedy genre.Namastey London was released in late 00s and became a box office hit.Katrina Kaif was in her rudimentary stages of learning and off-course acting.It was her first movie with her own dialogs instead of dubbing.Apart from the leading roles, Rishi kapoor as an accomplished actor did his part well.Other actors such as Javed Shekh ,Upen Patel & Clive Standen were OK.They (producers) could have portrayed Standon's character as an anti-hero of the movie.The music by Himesh Reshamiya & playback by Rahet Fateh Ali Khan are mesmerizing.Last but not the least, the patriotic dialog delivery by Arjun(Akshay) to Charlie's great grandpa was applausing.

U c Mr.Kooleshwer i don't think you've seen a movie very carefully don't mind me saying, but if u would've then u wont feel that they are showing all the best stuff abt India and worse things about Britan! some of thoz things which they show in movie are very true, and who cud tell ya that better then a person who's been there, lived among them and been one of them, rite! About movie; some of the scenes are hilarious. And I'm Impress by the storyline and some of the dialogues...at least some1 or sud i say group of people are trying 2 show bit of reality thru such effective medium, cause believe it or not but thts fact about all 4 counties. And i believe to drill thru todayz generation's brain Movie Industry is the best way. Well thts how i see it. i hope i didn't offend you in anyway, if so then am really sorry!

The movie came as pleasant surprise. Akshay Kumar, Katrina kaif and Rishi Kapoor gave excellent performances. Comedy was great, best of which was the part when they search for grooms in India. The music by himmesh reshamiya was good but awfully similar in feel. I felt as if the same song was playing again and again. The thee of the film was really realistic but the story was not. The ending was very very easily predictable. The very first scene tells you what the ending would be. Although the scene said something else , but one can tell instantaneously.Upen Patel also gave a great performance. I don't usually like his movies but I think it was his best performance to date.Overall a good movie with a predictable ending. The idea is not impossible but still not worth believing.
