"Salaam Namaste"

SALAAM NAMASTE, is the latest YashRaj Films release (last major one being Veer Zaara) and it is a totally different movie from its latter release, it is a complete entertainer.

Very senseless in several parts but at the end of the film, you will walk out with a smile. Thankfully,there is no melodrama in the film, which is very commonly associated with bollywood movies.

I wont go to much into the story, but simple there is no family, just about two people, who decide to have a "live-in" relationship, without marriage and the other tensions. Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta, definetly have a great on-screen presence.

So why do I like this film?? ... simple the film is a complete bold move for Indian cinema, and this is due to some bold love making scenes, which actually are handled very aesthetically. When the screen hero and heroine end up kissing passionately on screen, a friend turned to me and said "can they do that in indian cinema?" ... i guess now they can. And rightly so, if it is handled with the care and justification of the movie.

I am sure people will enjoy this movie, made entirely in Melborne, Australia, and with some great comedy, i personally thought it was a good movie, and that you should enjoy this very light hearted yet thought provoking film.

Well done to the director!
