Honestly, I love the songs - I've got this on DVD and seen it more than once and that's more for the songs than anything else. I really like Achchi Lagti Ho, and the title song is a lovely tune that makes a better use of whistling than any song since Peter, Bjorn and John's 'Young Folks'. Which is not a sentence you expect to write in any review, but it's true.The good news is the acting is as good as can be expected with the material, the dancing is perfectly well-executed, the little boy is adorable, there's an interesting plot dimension (a philandering husband in a country where divorce is uncommon) and the leading couple have great chemistry (they are now married off-screen). The bad news is that the whole film is completely daft, the characters make unsympathetic and unrealistic choices, the husband is a two- dimensional pantomime villain (boo hiss), the choreography's half-baked, there's a weird plot summary scene in the middle for no reason whatsoever, the Coca Cola product placements are eye-rollingly tiresome, the 'comedy' scenes are forced and embarrassing and the whole film is at least forty-five minutes too long. It's like directing by numbers in a lot of places, too: one scene you'll get an interesting shot of someone lit from underneath and think "hmm, maybe this bloke's OK" and then he'll have a scene where, seriously, the good guy's wearing all white and the bad guy's wearing all black. Even Disney doesn't do that.I actually quite like Kuch Naa Kaho. I don't watch a lot of rom coms, but I like the songs in this and the fact that it's not Western and the story's not typical. It has too many bad points for me to ever seriously recommend it to anyone to expand their film knowledge, but I would say that it's a cheerful, inoffensive thing to watch while doing the ironing.

I was really surprised just how bad this movie was. I find Abhishek Bachchan rather charming and Aishwarya is obviously divine, so I expected quite an entertainment. Unfortunately I only got bored. The story is rather regular but lacks of charm and character. The only sensible moment is when Raj fells for Namrata, cause who would not fell for Ash? Her beauty covers for her lack of acting skills (or at least an idea of how to make Namrata interesting) perfectly, unfortunately Abhishek is not that successful. There are a few rather embarrassingly long close-ups of him making some ridiculously 'serious' face. And was it only me or did he put on some weight? The actions of characters make no sense. When she says she's not going to be with him, it comes out of nowhere. When she says she loves him - it's even more out of place. The worst part of the film is the relationship between Namrata and her husband. She knows she hates the guy, she knows she is a modern woman not caring about tradition yet she lets him treat herself as if she's his belonging for an entire day. And when the guy finally agrees to leave her alone - well the ending is just horribly stupid. Why did he do this then? Nothing has changed between the moment he's sure to stay and when he decides to leave. It seems to be some bizarre BollyDeusExMachina... ;) The comedy parts (the other family, the teacher and the bird guy) are too bad to comment on them. They just come out of nowhere and do not add any qualities to the film. Aishwarya wears some rather ugly clothes all the time which is even worse considering the fact that she plays a designer... And what's up with the synopsis in the middle? I'd get it if it was of the entire relationship between Namrata and Raj but it's like showing be the same 15 minutes of the movie twice. Rather irritating.The only good things are two songs: 'Mujhe tum chupke chupke' and 'Kuch naa kaho'. Unfortunately they are ruined by truly stupid choreography. So if you decide to watch this movie do not look at the screen during those two songs - only this'll allow you to appreciate them.oh! And do not take me wrong: I gave the movie 3 not 1 just because Ash is there.

I caught this film on television recently, and it has completely convinced me to watch more Bollywood flicks.It's a fun film, and its a musical with a modern edge (I adore the dance club number). While Hollywood is still doing musicals stuck in earlier eras (clearly just trying to emulate the musicals of the 40s and 50s), Bollywood has apparently picked up the torch and carried on.This film is sensitive, endearing, and doesn't have to be an accomplishment of modern cinema to be so. It is reviving an genre that I thought was lost forever (the classic musical) for me. It is worthy of Fred Estere.

Jesus Christ!! what a rotten movie. Of course I started watching it not expecting more than a predictably bad movie(aren't most bollywood movies, nowadays?!?). But this surpassed all my expectations. Come on Abhishek I know your dad is famous but that should not be the only reason for being in the movies. When they put you in front of a camera you are expected to emote not regurgitate your stupid lines with a dumb struck face.Admittedly Ash is no better but at least she is divinely beautiful that we can completely forgive all her transgressions. The same unfortunately cannot be said about Aby B as he seems to have inherited all the wrong genes from his progenitors. The script is horrible and apart from Satish Shah the acting was horribly cruel to the people watching. Some bearable songs(note: I have stretched my definition of bearable for this case).rating: -*(minus should be allowed.. as I would like my money back and some, for the torture doled out to me)Run far away or watch Glitter/Gigli instead, unless you are an Ash fan or an Abhishek B fan (god have mercy on your sense of preference)
