SALAAM NAMASTE - FROM A DISTANCE !. Review on Salaam Namaste

Just when I thought Yash Chopra had decided to buy back his soul from the devil after seeing Veer Zaara, THE YRP churns out such moronic trash fit only for depraved fans of our film industry.

Salaam Namaste is devoid of soul. It is devoid of substance.

Even otherwise pretty decent actor like Preity Zinta is made to scream more than emote.

Saif Ali Khan , the less said about him the better. Here is one guy who is as average and as mediocre as it can get . And his stars have turned and how.

he doesnt even seem fit as the wiseass sidekick of the principle character that he used to play in the past and to see him doing well is really the pits.

This industry IS REALLY FUNNY.

hOW DOES ONE QUALITATIVELY distinguish between films like Masti, salaam namaste, Hum Tum. What makes these movies score big bucks when simple movies which are well thought of and shot very well with so low resources do badly.

Movies with actors like Chitrangada, Kay Kay, Rahul Bose and Konkona Sharma which do so badly at box office and get critical acclaim.

Makes one wonder whether we are destined to be subjected to a series of insipid and uninspiring tales like---1) Main hoon na 2) kal ho na ho 3) hum saath saath hai 4) Hum tum 5) Salaam Namaste.

And which go on to become hits - no less.

The story of Salaam Namaste was childish to put it mildly.

Spare us. They could have worked more on the story and shot it in Ulhaas Nagar . for a story with only two characters ( 3 if u count Arshad warsi who was wasted big time) there was no need to have shot the damn thing down under.

And imagine a lady in third trimester, dancing well past mid night with an idiot who drinks milk from the carton while shitting in a commode for pressure.

And a australian babe saying 'sorry?' to 'excuse me' from a over the top and aging Javed Zafri.Who incidently does not the trust the bloody indians.

Is that funny or what ?

Only nice and realistic scene in the movie was the love scene bet'n them.

I feel its something to do with the viewer only and we actually deserve this kind of depravity, just as we deserve the politicians and religious zealots of this world.

So anyone who aint watched this movie......... please

do a 'salaam namaste' from a distance.

cause you are not gonna get a refund from the theatre.

Adios
