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

Indian Cinema has undeniably conquered new frontiers in world cinema with Salaam Namaste. It's freshness is reminiscent of the times when the tested and tried formulae, which were of' course repackaged timelessly in the genre of romantic comedies were consciously thrown out of the window with an innovative and truly 'hatke' Dil Chahta Hai. It's another matter that after brilliant opening, just like the middle order collapsing in the Indian Cricket team, the filmmakers failed to sustain the trend or even ape the story intelligently and only managed to come up with romantic comedies more useless than the other. Salaam Namaste has indeed raised the bar and the credit goes to its brilliant direction by Siddharth Anand, ace production by Yash Raj, almost dreamy photography, fast paced screenplay, sharp dialogues and a plot without much hoopla. Nowhere during the movie do you feel that the film is attempting to imbibe a paradigm that you have been exposed to in Hollywood movies. The subject of a live-in relationship seems a natural part of the story and does not appear as a forceful modus operandi by the filmmaker to draw attention or even ignite a controversy from orthodox groups for cheap publicity. The story of Nick and Amber seems as real as Shahrukh and Rani in Chalte Chalte or as surreal as Amitabh and Rani in Black. The relationship the protagonists share is beautiful and logical. The issue of morality or character seems redundant when you accept the ideology 'to each his own', become a spectator and enjoy life without indulging too much into rights and wrongs. One thing worth mentioning is the lovemaking scenes, which are so unadulterated and non-dramatic that it will run a wave of tingling sensation throughout your body and will hold you in awe of its purity. This is Preity Zinta's most glorious performance of her career and Saif took his character in the story to brilliant heights too. The editing, which is razor sharp in first half of the movie, slightly fumbles in the last fifteen minutes of the climax. Music is melodious and lyrics are fun to hum. The supporting actors including Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaffri also support the film remarkably. Story: Ambar (Preity Zinta) is a radio jockey hosting the show called 'Salaam Namaste' in Melbourne. She hates unpunctuality and is also annoyed by people who get fidgety about their being Indian. Nikhil Arora aka Nick (Saif Ali Khan) who is a chef in an Indian restaurant and also dreams of having his own restaurant rubs Amber the wrong way and starts the war of wits over live radio. The two come face to face at a beach wedding and sparks begin to fly. On coming to know the truth about each other, they want to run as fast as they can from each other in opposite direction but turn around and come to a mutual decision. Ambar moves in with Nick to know if the love is real. They are stark opposite in personalities but cheerfully take deviations and make sweet compromises. Nick gets up in the mornings to fix Ambar hearty breakfasts; Ambar keeps her surroundings clean, amongst other things. Trouble starts when the couple discovers that Ambar is pregnant. What happens to Nick and Ambar? Do they separate and decide that their priorities are different or does the film boast of another happy reunion…or…does Abhishek Bachchan in special appearance has a card to pull? Watch Salaam Namaste to find out!

I've watched this movie at least 7 times and i like it a lot...of course it gonna be good as both my favorite actor and actress are the leading roles.Preity Zinta is very beautiful and Saif is so handsome specially in the song 'My Dil goes hmm..'its my favorite song in this movie and i think that most of the viewers like mostly this song! Saif appears more handsome in this song.. hey what do you think guys? everything is good in this movie.. The director,the producer,the singers... In 1 word the movie of salaam Namaste is just superb!!! What do you think guys ?has anyone watched this movie so many times?\ i mean has anybody watched it more than 7 times?

Okay guys don't go losing your minds because I just compared this cute piece of crap to one of the best Hollywood films of 2004! The only resemblance that Salaam Namaste shares with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is that it shows us a side of relationships that we don't usually see in films. And that's where the similarities end. That's the only way it gained 5 stars from me. I liked the way it addressed relationships especially in the 21st century. Somebody needs to send Preity Zinta a memo for her to stop accepting roles in which she portrays desperate women who have to con men to love them! I mean come on! A man doesn't need to have a degree in Neuro-surgery before he realises that he is in love, and Preity, pretty please, stop playing these tired stereotypes of women willing to try and give those men their love degrees! That said, Salaam Namaste is a good looking film about good looking people, living in a good looking country, have good looking jobs and good looking lives, until they meet and fall in love with each other. Then everything is not so good looking any more! Babes, why wasn't Salaam Namaste something original again? Sorry? Exaaaactly! :-D It was mediocre yaar! The out-takes were funnier and more entertaining than the movie!
