Ric44-239-690423 I am not normally a fan of romantic comedy, but it was St Valentine's Day! So I thought it might be a movie to watch with my husband. We thoroughly enjoyed it and I am surprised that there were not higher ratings. Sit back and enjoy this movie for what it is, a fun romantic comedy, where love conquers all over obstacles across cultural lines.You will find yourself laughing along when recognizing familiar traits and the human condition as portrayed in another culture. Yes, it is farcical in places, and unrealistic in others, but if you have had any connection to any parts of these worlds, (advertising, call centers, clients) then there is more than a grain of truth to the story line.
exzur12 I find "The Other End of the Line" loaded with too much cliché add to that the suggestive background music/songs (like, Pretty Woman?..please). Domineering parents, narcissistic hot blond, nerdy friend, not so funny boss, I am beginning to wonder where is the requisite dog? The segments where Granger took Priya for a tour of San Francisco is very staged and has unconvincing actions. And the ending, jeez, right out of An Officer and a Gentleman. If you enjoy sappy comedic love story, this one is for you. Jesse Metcalfe's acting is good considering he is mostly known for his role as a hot stud in Desperate Housewife's. More acting lessons for him might land him a better scripted movie. The girl the played the role of Priya sometimes displays inconsistent emotions. I suppose she is trying to pattern her actions with that of Julia Robert.
folkpoet80 I won't think twice about rating this movie 8/10 mainly because: 1.) It's like a fresh breeze amongst all the stupid Indian movies that come out these days (barring masterpieces like A Wednesday, Shaurya, etc.) 2.) It's an unbelievable idea yet you can easily see it happening in real life. 3.) Even though it is a movie, one can relate to many moments in the movie. I liked many!Shreya Saran acted very well even though I had never even heard of her name. She is pretty and did her part really well (even the fake accent was decent). Tara Sharma didn't have much to do, but she filled in OK. Anupam Kher was also funny yet did not turn into an idiot as many such roles do. I have no clue why this movie is rated so low. I just hope that haters stay away from this movie. I will highly recommend that you watch this at least once and I'm sure you'll love this one!!
timebarrier I really can't figure out why people have rated this movie so low, at least as yet. I won't say that the movie was exceptionally good in acting or directing or screenplay or whatever. But, on a whole, the movie did quite well in doing what it was meant for. Its a simple romantic comedy with a dream romance between an Indian girl and an American guy and it scored pretty well there. Some of the moments with Anupam Kher were really very very hilarious. Though, I would say that at some points the movie lifted up from reality and went into the ideal state. But, then again, romantic movies are usually like that only.I liked the movie to give it a decent 7/10. I'd suggest that you go and watch the movie, it'll be a real fun to watch!!!
