To me, this movie is perfection.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

This is one of my favorite romantic comedies. The leads are attractive and skillful actors. It has significant humor, but the focus is on the relationship of the leads. One gets a bit of education about life in current day India. There are no flashy special effects, steamy sex scenes, car chases, or bad language. I guess that's what some people have a problem with??

This is not a movie to watch on TV ( unless you recorded it(. There are so many scenes you need to cut through ( and a few to go back to) it is not funny. It's about two different people Priya from India and Granger from the United States who first meet when when he calls a call center after his credit card was used illegally. She flies to San Francisco to meet him and lies about who she is. Spoilers ahead; It is the usual boy meets girl boy loses girl boy gets girl back. What is interesting is the lesson in the movie about taking Chances. Granger never takes a chance in life: He tells a story how his best friend ( and business partner) Charie are at summer camp and only Charlie has the guts to go across the river to the girls side and meets a 14 year old girl who he says he will marry. Then a decade later on a date sees her and drops the date for that same girl and marries her. Granger is more popular then Charlie but never gets what he really wants in life. There is a scene where Charlie tells Granger " Do you know your problem is? You never put yourself out there, never take a chance, and do not let people know who you really are. at the end of the movie, he finally takes a chance and flies 18 hours to India for Priya, on the slim chance she did not get married ( she was engaged when they met). It turns out she did not get married because she fell in love with Granger and would not make her fiancé happy. She risked turning her family against her. Especially her father who was a strict Hindi businessman. But her father loves Priya and when the fiance's father called her a tramp, he stood up for Priya especially noting "Above all this is my daughter and I love her." At the end Granger and Priya end up together. Her father is especially impressed when he said " I will give your daughter all the love and respect that she deserves." He gives his approval when he offers some tortilla looking bread and has him sit down with the family. Meaning Granger has been accepted into the family. 5/10 Stars mostly to look at Priya ( she is hot and adorable at the same time) and for the ending.

The plot follows the tried-and-tested romcom formula of boy-meets-girl - -> fall in love --> misunderstanding --> patch up --> happy ending. And in all honesty this "hybrid" movie had pretty good chances to strike it gold doing a piggy-back ride on the success of "Slumdog Millionaire". And to realise that, better writing was warranted. There are umpteen places where you feel why are the potholes are glaring at you? The girl's idea of her version of hen-night could have marinated better. And her parents tailing her is probably the lowest point in the movie. So is the creative guys finding stealing the idea from the girl. Well, the list just goes on. Shirya Sharan get the biggest pie, so much that it seems the movie was made to give her footing into the Hollywood.Jesse Metcalfe is confident. As the creative person in the movie, he falters in a few places.Anupam Kher, Sushmita Mukherjee, Kiran Juneja were plain loud. Tara Sharma reprises her usual "coy" performance.Not bad if you want to watch it when aired on telly.Ashok Amritraj – better luck next time.

I won't think twice about rating this movie 8/10 mainly because: 1.) It's like a fresh breeze amongst all the stupid Indian movies that come out these days (barring masterpieces like A Wednesday, Shaurya, etc.) 2.) It's an unbelievable idea yet you can easily see it happening in real life. 3.) Even though it is a movie, one can relate to many moments in the movie. I liked many!Shreya Saran acted very well even though I had never even heard of her name. She is pretty and did her part really well (even the fake accent was decent). Tara Sharma didn't have much to do, but she filled in OK. Anupam Kher was also funny yet did not turn into an idiot as many such roles do. I have no clue why this movie is rated so low. I just hope that haters stay away from this movie. I will highly recommend that you watch this at least once and I'm sure you'll love this one!!
