Salaame below expectations
by Apurva Tank on Feb 02, 2007 06:43 AM

The movie is ok. Star studded film. Close to 4 hrs entertainment. 6 different trracks of which some not defined properly and no need for sohail and Anils track. Biggest let down was salman character no footage complete let down. Govinda, jhon, vidya balan were great in the film. Great music. Adnan sung a beauty salame isq title track. Priyanka was good of the female cast. Juhi looks good. overall feel good film. coud have been much better.

Watch for the stars paisa vasool

After reading the comments I had decided not to see the film, but somehow I did not had anything else to do and went to see it.

I enjoyed it. It did drag at some places but one is usedto when seeing a hindi movie. It is always a personal choice.

Watch the latest edited version it worth seeing.
by Deepa Deepa on Feb 01, 2007 11:07 AM

Trust me guys, when I watched the movie on the very first day of its release it was too long and dragging. This Tuesday i was forced to see this movie again because of my friends. To my surprise there was a very good change.Many scenes were edited and the movie was fantastic. Watch the edited version of the movie. It's superb. Everybody liked when they saw it. Taking about performance everybody have done a fabulous job. Akshay and Govinda have done very well. Ayesha was fresh.
Juhi was cute. John and Vidya's part was tremendous. They both make a romantic pair. They both look fantastic together.They have done a very decent job. Only one minus point in this movie was Anil Kapoor's bore characterisation. His characterisation could have been presented still in more better fashion.Else everything was worth watching.The climax was tremendous. Salman, Sohail, Isha and Priyanka were excellent. Infact, I appreciate Nikhil Advani's for his work. The edited version of the movie is just 3hours and 10 minutes.Making a multistarrer movie is tough job.Hats off to Nikhil Advani for his work.Overall it's a decent movie and watch the edited version you will find a change.

Salaam-e-Ishq is a decent entertainer
by atanu sarkar on Jan 30, 2007 12:36 PM  | Hide replies

Its a big movie with so many stars and good songs....and even if a few stories are good..i think that would be worth the money. But the movie is even more than that.
After reading many mixed reviews from the critics and rediff readers, my expectations went quite down. Still i saw it in the theatre today and came out more than satisfied.
I don't know why there's so much negative publicity going on for the movie-- people are hell bent in pulling down the movie.
Songs are great, there a lot of comedy and entertainment and most stars do their job fine. Well, i'm not saying the movie is exceptional..but its a decent entertainer, deserving atleast 3 stars.
Anil-Juhi 's track is probably the best along with Govinda-Shannon. Both veterans Anil and Juhi pitch in excellent performances and theirs is the most mature story. Govinda is bang on...he entertains thoroughly, and has a very mature performance too. If you didn't like him in bhagam bhag, he's in form now. There are some nice momemts with Shannon.
Sohail-Isha are there in just 5 scenes, but each time they appear, you're guaranteed a laugh, even if its a bit over-the-top.
Akshay is good as usual , Ayesha is cute, and though their story is nothing new or special, its good and certain scenes are really good.
The John-Vidya story is a little different from the rest..and Vidya is fantastic. John is his usual cool self. Its only the Salman-Priyanka track that seems to irritate a bit and is not too good. Add to that their average acting. But in the 2nd half things improve considerably in their track. Watch out for Salman in the scene near the London bridge, and Priyanka in the scene with Anil at the pub. Both are quite good.
Another good thing is the way the 6 stories run parallely and they switch from one to the next. Thats a first for hindi cinema and done really well...kudos to Nikhil Advani. Also the way he gets 6 screens in 1 is cool!!!
I think many people have got confused with this and not been able to follow the stories too well..but thats what makes it different!
Besides , the connections leading to the climax where many of the characters meet each other is interesting to watch. Besides, the climax , though predictable is quite entertaining. Watch out for Shannon in the climax scene.
Infact, with 6 parallel stories running, you don't quite feel the film's length..which is nearly 3 1/2 hrs and not 4 hrs as being propagated by many.
Songs are among the best in recent times especially the title track and 'Ya Rabba'
All in all a decent entertainer.. definitely worth a dekho atleast once -- in the theatre.

Totally agree with u buddy..... people r hell-bent on pulling down the movie... hey, Advani has tried something new...can u merge 6 stories in one???? think before criticising.... its not a joke to make such a movie....and hey, u can not say a word abt most of d actors...even d mini role-actors like vishal(akshaye's freind in d movie) have done a splendid job.
So hey, learn to admire talent than grumble over the length!
