silvan-desouza Yashraj films are normally considered the best production house even though they have done worst copies(compared to Bhatt who give at least better films though copies) And have made trash filmsThe film is a lame copy of NINE MONTHSThe comedy scenes are puerile except Jaaved's scenes rest are nothing great, the shouting scenes are lameThe twist is well handled but then nothing much happens and the film ends in a very bad mannerSiddharth Anand handles only few scenes well, many scenes are over the top Music is goodSaif repeats his DCH act and acts well though he often cribs and gets boring Preity is good in serious scenes but overdoes many parts Jaaved is funny Abhishek hams Jugal is okay

jcnsoflorida This Hindi film is said to be a remake of 'Nine Months' and to be derivative of certain Hindi films, but not having seen any of them I am not entitled to comment on that. (I felt an undertone of 'Sleepless in Seattle', not a bad choice to emulate). In 'Salaam Namaste' practically everyone is young and successful and gorgeous, so it is admittedly an escapist fantasy. One could criticize that but on the other hand it's a hard film to dislike. The stars are wonderful together, and Melbourne, Australia, is a major character the way New York often is. Living in Melbourne, the main characters deal with certain issues that they might not face -or would deal with differently- had they stayed in India. Likewise, traditional Indian viewers might find some elements a bit shocking but I don't think the filmmakers set out to put off anyone. Yes, it's manipulative and predictable, but it's a 'feel-good' movie that works. If you can handle a little sugar, I recommend it.

kirtland I was pleasantly surprised. Went to this movie for a Charity Fundraiser to help orphans in India. Never seen an Indian/Bollywood movie before as these movies never interest me. I have detested reading subtitles in the past.When it started I though, oh my, I have to sit through this, I thought "how corny".However, the more I got into the movie the more and more I liked it. It is a lighthearted, predictable romantic comedy who's target audience would be 15yo to 40 yo women. It is not really a mens movie.The acting was excellent and I loved seeing Melbourne.The end birthing scene was over the top but overall a great movie

RaShanda129 Salaam Namaste is the new Hollywood. Bollywood is the new cutting edge movie type. When I first began to watch Salaam Namaste, I heard it was a "sappy chick-flick" type movie. Now I am not the one to watch a sappy movie in the first place, and then I learned that the movie was in another language, Hindu. Foreign films are not my type at all, but then I watched it and I grew to love this film, it deals with so many life issues and tackles them. Love, lust, desire, temptation, greed and responsibility. Salaam Namaste is a great movie and it deserves a great amount of praise. Nikil and Ambar are good actors and need more United States praise.
