Salaam Namaste must set some sort of record for genre pileup.

It's fair to say that the Melbourne setting--along with Khan and Zinta--makes the movie. Otherwise, it mainly feels like Bollywood business as usual.

This is a fantastic romantic comedy, exploring the serious side to a young relationship; compatibility, and issues in love and practicality.

The most unmissable event since Jackie Chan visited: three hours of synchronised dance numbers, farce, melodrama and Bollywood around our most photogenic tourist landmarks.

A watchable, but conventional, romantic comedy about negotiating domestic peace agreements in the shadow of an unexpected pregnancy.

The story feels as time pass as watching the film. Has its moments but not enough to be called a good film.

This is a nice little movie that I saw a long time ago. I remember it being pretty funny and pretty different at the time. There were some moments that dragged but overall it was a good romantic comedy. I probably need to re watch it at some point to refresh my memory any more.
