Gypsi Bates In this Hollywood/Bollywood "crossover" film, Marigold (Ali Larter), a vain and spoiled American actress arrives in India to star in a film. When it is cancelled, she has the good luck to make a friend and find another movie. On the set, she meets Prem (Salman Khan), whose gentleness and kindness help her to change, and they fall in love. Prem has a secret, however, that will prevent their happiness.The cute plot is typical Bollywood, with both romance and drama. Songs were average, but did nothing to advance the plot; the choreography was generally good, though. The costumes, particularly Marigold's, were gorgeous. Khan's role was stereotypical and two dimensional, giving him little scope for acting. Larter did a good job being unlikable, but did it so well that it was hard to warm to Marigold even after her personal transformation. Sadly, Khan and Larter did not have good chemistry. Other problems I had include finding the personality change to be too abrupt and not credible, and disbelieving that Prem could fall for Marigold before this change. By suspending belief on those points, I was able to enjoy most of the film, but it's not one I would universally recommend.

dbh850 Maybe I'm too old for this sort of story - it would well fit an American film for 12 year old girls, I expect. I am an American female, close to 60. Therein lies my problem. I am not an unkind person and I hate the thought of hurting someone. I see the same fellow wrote and directed it. I feel bad to say this about a project that he worked so hard on. Truly. But I must say this.Film comments:I thought it might be insulting to Indians - and I'm weary of the entitled, rude, thoughtless, bitchy American. Ugh. That's a tired cliché.I felt too many of the Indians were portrayed as immature, insecure, unprofessional, bumbling idiots. Another tired cliché.I can't address the acting at all - the writing was so terrible. Two couples fall in "love" after VERY brief acquaintance. The cultures are very different from each other. To MARRY a person in a different country with SUCH different cultures - I worry for the futures of these couples. I would be concerned that once they start having children, they will each wish to pull the children into their respective cultures. I've seen this happen to many couples who were from very different cultures. It's a very sad thing to see.And honestly - what did Marigold show of herself that would compel ANYONE to "love" her? She was a horrible person - selfish, entitled, etc. Any man who would feel he had fallen in love with her has a serious problem. Maybe it's a rescue fantasy. Maybe self-hatred. I don't know. But I cannot see any emotionally healthy person falling in love with someone who is so rude and disrespectful of the feelings of others. And such brief acquaintance - especially the other couple that married.I might have loved this when I was 12. But in my late 50s, I'm just glad I was doing work on my computer while I had it on. If not, I would want my time back!

auhabib To me Bollywood movies are not generally up to much, though they are still quite desired and Bollywood is a big file maker as they have their own fans.The only motive that made me watch the movie was to see to what extent an American actress could change or affect the logic that Indian movie were based on. Not only did not it change the movie story also this blending caused some ridiculous series of events.I mean it is quite common to see heaps of illogical things through Indian movies as they have their own world in their movies. But once you see such incidents happen to an American it makes you laugh. For God's sake can you believe a famous American actress is stuck in desperate situation and feel impotent. Can you imagine an American actress falls in loves with a dance instructor whose fiancée already fell in love with American's boy friend and they met each other at the same time. There were lot of similar things to mention. the less said the better.Perhaps I was wrong as I expected too much from Indian Movies.

bjk1949 I really like Salman Kahn so I was really disappointed when I seen this movie. It didn't have much of a plot and what they did have was not that appealing. Salman however did look good in the movie looked young and refreshed but was worth the price of this DVD. The music was not bad it was quite nice. Usually Indian movies are at least two to three hours long but this was a very short movie for an Indian film. The American actress that played in the movie is from the television hit series Heroes, Ali Larter. Her acting had a lot to be desired. However she did look good in the Indian dresses that she wore. All the movie had not a lot to be desired and I hope Salman does a lot better on his next movie. Thank you.
