Namaste London - Namastey London Hindi Movie Review
I saw this movie last night. Simply it is the worst of all movies I have seen this year. It is a story of Indian and Pakistani families living in Western countries and witnessing that the cultural differences are taking their children away from their roots. Katrina Kaif is British Born Confused Desi girl who thinks that she is more Briton than the British. Her parents, particularly her father wants her to realize that she belongs to a different culture with a slightly different set of ethics. She travels to India with her parents where they try to find her an eligible Indian guy. They visit Hyderabad, Bangalore, Agra to see the Taj Mahal and then they visit Punjab. There they force her to marry Akshay Kumar, who is a village farmer. Finding no way out she marries Akshay Kumar and brings him back to London. Once in London she refuses to accept the marriage. Now Akshay Kumar will have to win her heart before she marries the white guy in her life.
Katrina Kaif looked exceptionally beautiful throughout the movie. So did London, the director spent a great deal of time showing the monumental structures, popular tourist destinations and night life of London. The movie would have worked on me if the director had spend some time on making Akshay’s character a little stronger, improving the dialog delivery of Katrina and Upen and decreased the scenes where white men occupied the party.
Music was below average. The only person who acted well through out the movie was Rishi Kapoor and Javed Sheikh. Javed Sheikh is a Pakistani actor and he plays the role of Pervez, father of Imran Khan (Upen Patel). Upen Patel has absolutely no acting skills at all and I cared less about his acting as I have said earlier that if he is going to roam around shirtless and half naked then I am going to forgive him for his bad acting skills. But unfortunately Upen’s shirtless scenes and his delicious brown body didn’t work that well. The movie was centered around Katrina Kaif and she did her best to look beautiful. I wish she had worked a little more on improving her dialog delivery and acting skills. The movie was branded as a romantic comedy and I failed to find both elements. The romance didn’t occupy the movie and comedy, well someone should tell Akshay that his hera-pheri kind of acting is not going to work for all movies.

A great movie…simply great…not a love story…it is the story of a person’s honesty who pays repect to Indian values…those who are passing wrong comments about this movie…probably they have gone mad…they are not true Indians…they should move out of India…this movie is a landmark for bollywood…I have alreay seen this movie more than 40 times till now…
