Salaam Namaste

This is not exactly a review but it does have spoilers so don't complain that I didn't warn you.
The movie is supposed to be ground breaking and different because it is about Live In relationships. I don't think it is ground breaking at all but it is definitely entertaining. I cant think of any other Hindi movie about the same concept but unwed mothers aren't new to bollywood. Besides the second half is a rip off of the English movie Nine Months so it is definitely not original. But for a yash raj movie it is something new. No extended families, no sentimental drama and no excessive crying. Its a comedy movie with some masala that is tolerable.
Saif looks great, even shirtless! And his performance is top class. Even when he ditches Priety when she is pregnant, you just cant hate him!Songs are good except the one in which a very pregnant Priety is dancing to a song that sounds more like a nursery rhyme.

After watching the movie I couldn't help wondering, the movie works only because it is based in Australia. Had they been in India, the movie(if it portrayed reality) would have taken different turns, raising several moral issues. Live In relationships are not accepted in India. It is not easy for a single unwed mother to raise her child on her own. They played it safe by choosing a foreign land as the backdrop. Another reason why it is not ground breaking. All in all this one is definitely worth a watch.
