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.
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.
Unbelievable!this film gets a 7 out 0f 10. This has to be one of the worst films i have seen in years. not only was the acting incredibly bad, the storyline (if you can call it that) was just as bad. Offcourse everyone knows what's going to happen within the first 5 minutes. Which is not a bad thing if you can captivate the audience during leading up to that moment. That however, is not the case. There is no action, no suspense, not even a spark between the 2 leading actors. It was unfortunately a waste of my time, and certainly a waste of my money. and the 2 of merely for trying
What a wonderful film. It brought the best of the east to the west. This was like a crash course in Bollywood and Indian culture. I am so glad I happened to be in Palm Springs over the weekend. It was fast paced, exciting, colorful and really funny. Jason Lewis looked so different from his roles in Sex and the City. I think that audiences will be thrilled to see their favorite hunk in a romantic role.The editing and cinematography were superb! The acting was mostly excellent. Loved that "seven steps to Bollywood" scene. Can't wait to watch this with my friends.
