Salaam-E-Ishq

i won't vote. i am shocked to see the rating: 8.6/10 whereas movies like rdb and lrmb got 8.5 and 8.8. this movie is hopeless, it has no theme and the story/scripting is weak. it entertains you in parts: for example the jokes and few songs. akshaye and givinda's stories are the + points of the movie. priyanka and salman's pair is the most boring one. priyanka's acting is pathetic. akshaye did a good job. his character will entertain you. esha and sohail will entertain you with their jokes, i call it honeymoon jokes. but i thought there will be a surprise: how do they merge the 6 stories into one. but there's no such thing. it was boring, i don't know why they didn't think of it ? with 6 love stories they could have made much better story and script. now a days most of the bollywood movies bore me except few: you may watch it if you are too bored, otherwise go for happy feet. conclusion: boring theme, few jokes and it's too long.

OK soo.. salaam-e-ishq.... quite frankly... a waste of 4 hours... you know sometimes you see a movie that well over 3 hours long and you don't even realize it cuz the movie was so good?.. well not in this case... I must have looked at the time about 150 times and really every time I would look at it.. only 5 minuted would have gone by... and I was bored more and more with each passing minute! It starts off with Vidya Balan and John Abraham who are really the only two worth watching characters in the movie, they actually have a bit of a story going oh.. and Govinda and the girl hes with.. they were the only other people who had interesting characters... Priyanka Chopra acts/look/dresses the SAME in every single movie.. Salman Khan is really nice to look at but doesn't know how to utilize the talent he has... Sohail Khan and Isha Koppikar had no REAL purpose of being in the movie.. Akshay Khanna and Ayeshia Takia.. were not too great.. she looks really pretty and wears some awesome out fits but thats about it.. and Anil Kapoor was just straight up annoying.. Juhi Chawla as always looked graceful and acted some what real... The music was what ever... the acting was what ever the story was what ever... and it went on for MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH longer than it needed too... So do I recommend this movie to anyone else?... emm sure.. if you have nothing better to do with your life for 4 hours... go for it!

This is one film you could watch over and over again, i personally enjoyed it so much i cant wait for the DVD. It has some really funny, heart warming moments that really stay with you. All the stories were very diverst and interesting how they were played out. The end was probably a bit cheesy but hey this is an Indian film lol A throughly enjoyable movie which the whole family could watch John And Vidya story very cute then tragic, made my friend cry, Anil and Juhi story was good though you could see what was going to happen, Salman and Priyanka very interesting story in that not sure why this happened till the end. Akshay and Ayesha story very cute and funny and realistic Sohail and Isha very very funny Govinda and sorry cant remember her name was also very good and funny at times The end was really sweet Cantwait for the DVD

5 OK stories(the Sohail-Isha track ain't a story!!),a never before seen combo of stars, an awful screenplay and a director who thinks he's got it all right. That's how I'd sum this "tribute to LOVE". Salman Khan - Usual ROCK STAR act but unfortunately lesser footage, his fans would still enjoy his presence(well i did ;)) John Abraham - Gaveit a sincere shot Akshaye Khanna - The best thing about the movie but over the top at occasions Anil Kapoor - Hmmmmmm.....OK....but dude whatever happens never do the clean shaven look ever again. Govinda-HERo No 1's an ol time thing mate Sohail Khan - while his brother's doing the ROCKSTAR routine, SOHAIL's done the family proud by trying hard to be PORNSTAR thruout the flick...Im glad he finally gets laid. Juhi Chawla, Ayesha Takia, Priyanka Chopra, The Firangi babe and Isha Koppikar - sorry ladies Bollywood's an all male carnival you're all destined to be eye candies and they've done a good job that ways. 4 hours and a 150 rupees later all I'm left with is a sore back :(

I was really looking forward to this movie,watched all the promos, knew the songs by heart, had my tickets booked, seats reserved, 2nd show first day. It started off well, it starts off with John and Vidya. For once I liked John, he even looked cute. But as the movie dragged on, it got too emotional, but I couldn't find a emotional connection with the stories. They make a sweet pair. Akshaye and Ayeshas story was funny. Sohail n Isha only get 3 scenes...they don't have much to say...I thought sohail was funny...a extension to his Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya character. Salman for once doesn't look tired, he doesn't have dark eyes. he light up the screen, he's looking awesome. He doesn't have a loud annoying character, and he doesn't give that 'giggle' in this movie either. A good performance from him, though he didn't have much to do. Anil Kapoors character seemed odd. he shaves off his mustache, and he looks disgusting sorry to say. his dance sequence (whats that about?) And i'm disappointed Juhi forgave him. Be strong woman! say no. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Govindas character was so sweet. And shannon was pretty. They made a good pair. Usually foreigners are annoying in Indian movies, but not her. What ruined this movie for me was it got boring. The dialogue's too lengthy towards the end. The whole scene with Anil and Priyanka wasn't necessary and the dot-com Punjabi guy was just annoying. Priyankas character, Khamini, was a little too similar to Aishwaryas in Dhoom2. Only in the sense they refer to themselves by their name, in 2nd person (or is it 3rd?) The songs were well picturised, but one of my favourite songs was missing. I saw the promos of it and it was looking cute. "mera dil" wasn't in the movie. Watch it for the stars, not for the characters, watch it for the songs. But if you were as excited as I was, than a disappointment awaits you.

Salaam-e-Ishq is the second new Indian movie i have ever seen, and so I speak from a western view point. This movie is quite good, especially the first 2 hours. The characters are diverse, and so are their stories. Many dialogs are absolutely hilarious. Passages from comedy to drama episodes are done carefully, and the movie rolls by in a dynamic, entertaining way. However, towards the end of the second hour the movie starts to stretch. Some scenes are unnecessary, and some songs are too long and could have been saved for the ending. As a result, by the time the conclusion comes, one starts gazing at the watch. Also,towards the end, the drama is in some cases exaggerated and not every actor and actress manage to pull it off well. For the rest of the movie, performances range from excellent to satisfactory. This movie should have been edited down to about two and a half hours and would have been perfect. Still, it's a good one to see with your friends, or someone you love. The great comedy and the diverse issues make it worth it.

this movie has lot of downsides and thats all i could see. it is painfully long and awfully directed. i could see whole audience getting impatient and waiting for it to end. run time is way over 3 hrs which could have been edited to less then 2 hrs. transition between stories is average. most people confessed being on seating expecting something better to come out. its funny only in pockets. ambitious project and a below par execution. govinda does a fair job, anil kapoor disappointed me, rest we as expected. if u r expecting anything close to babel or love actually then its no where close.

Dear Nikhil, Congratulations to you for giving the Hindi movie world an amazing movie. I live in UK, watched the movie last night and I must say your movie is one of the best I have watched in years. I am going for it again this weekend. Ignore those idiots who are writing wrong reviews in news paper and in Internet, something is grossly wrong with them. I would say KAL HO NA HO was brilliant and Salaam e is no less, its more entertaining, more real and full of humour. And you are genius director. No scene in the movie was predictable, the angles you used to shoot, the newness and the freshness is beyond compare.I would rate the movie as 10/10 as it had everything. Everyone in the cinema hall were rolling with laughter throughout the movie. Some scenes were really exceptional, like the Bakra scene. Akshay I would say was the best. Salmaan fell below my expectations. Priyanks did full justice,Juhi Chawla is brilliant as ever. The Canadian girls last scene when she says something to Rohit' father was excellent. The train scene of Sohail khan and Isha is hilarious.Overall,Thanks for such a class act. Please make more movies in future, I cant wait for your next project. Let me know what other projects you are working on..
