Film Perfection
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
A paint-by-numbers romantic comedy. But the clichés still work. There are some stand-out elements, like the "rickshaw" driver. Very predictable in a totally satisfying way.One of the gems of this movie are the bloopers and outtakes during the end-titles. The "rickshaw" driver performs an awesome parody of De Niro's famous "You lookin' at me?" scene from Martin "Marty" Scorsese's "Taxi Driver". Only during the end-titles do you fully realize what fun was had by all, and how talented some of this cast is.The only way to hate this movie is to indulge the mean-heartedness of some blackened corner of your soul.
Having grown up and lived my entire life with Bollywood, I would rate this lowest even in Bollywood standards.The movie portrays things is a very distorted fashion. Things don't look and work the way they showed it in the movie.Forget all that, the acting sucked big time...The story was a big flop too, I mean, come-on.... Even the camera work, cinematography or music is nothing to talk about as well.I was totally surprised to see a few people rated it highly. Nothing of "Exotic India" is shown here (as mentioned by someone in the comment.If you want to see good Bollywood movie, then check out "Lagaan", "The Namesake" there are many more with good storyline, good direction and good acting.Give this one a miss for anything else.... I mean ANYTHING :)
Hey, saw the film in NY at the festival. It was cool. Hot girls and guys, great shots of India, drama and comedy! My girl loved it and I know some of her friends whom are Jason Lewis fans are dying to see this! I saw one other Bollywood film and this was much better and made for a western audience. This was also a family cool film with hardly anything in it to offend but one innuendo...maybe. Where Bobby K speaks of the ocean but Alex (Lewis) thinks he means something else! Funny! I also loved the Producer guy, Shekkhar and his little "I'm too sexy for my shirt!" stuff! If you want an easy colorful romantic comedy to watch...I recommend watching it for sure!
I saw this film with the preconceived notion that it would be a typical Bollywood film with all the musical numbers and extravagant sets and wardrobe. I was pleasantly surprised.This film was not at all what I expected. It was a wonderful, endearing romantic comedy. Not only was the story charming - a fresh take on the classic theme of "how far would you go for love?" - but the look was amazing as well. Beautiful shots of both India and LA alike. I would recommend this film to anyone looking for a break from the heavy political and action films that seem to be dominating the scene right now.
