The director is very young... and it shows. There is a lack of maturity in handling of emotions in the movie. The two leads are either smiling all the time to convey happiness or screaming to convey anger and frustration. Human emotions and reactions are much more complex, Sidharth Babu. Great technical values in the film, and both Saif and Preity look very fit. But that don't make a movie watchable. Preity's pregnancy dance, by the way, is the height of stupidity. She looks ready to deliver and is running around and jumping as if to try and induce labor. Sad to say that Javed Jaffri's mocking Crocodile Dundee rip-off is the most entertaining part of this movie, but acting kudos go to the Indian Aussie's dim-witted blonde wife. "Sorry?" Can anyone explain why they made this movie?

This Hindi film is said to be a remake of 'Nine Months' and to be derivative of certain Hindi films, but not having seen any of them I am not entitled to comment on that. (I felt an undertone of 'Sleepless in Seattle', not a bad choice to emulate). In 'Salaam Namaste' practically everyone is young and successful and gorgeous, so it is admittedly an escapist fantasy. One could criticize that but on the other hand it's a hard film to dislike. The stars are wonderful together, and Melbourne, Australia, is a major character the way New York often is. Living in Melbourne, the main characters deal with certain issues that they might not face -or would deal with differently- had they stayed in India. Likewise, traditional Indian viewers might find some elements a bit shocking but I don't think the filmmakers set out to put off anyone. Yes, it's manipulative and predictable, but it's a 'feel-good' movie that works. If you can handle a little sugar, I recommend it.

we have seen this one before but it is great to see Saif Ali khan and pretty's chemistry...they look very good together.this movie is a copy of a Hollywood flick but it z cool for Indians.What say?i liked it...it was a nice change from Yashraj's crying sagas(Veer Zara?remember?) any way after hum tum there is SN and then Neal n Nikki which are about a guy and a gal....so any way "salaam ..." is a nice entertainment!have fun! It is about Amber and Nikhil..oops! nick. Amber is an rj and she interviews all the famous "indians" in melbourne Nick was supposed to be at her show and then he doesn't turn up so they create a whole scene on the radio ...they keep fighting and guess what nick and amber meet at simon's wedding and they don't actually recognise each other by "the nick" and "the" amber so any way this wedding brings them to know each other and then they realise who "nick" actually is and who "amber" actually is so any way this is just the beginning they realise they love each other and have this live-in relationship..things go pretty well and they have fun until pretty gets Amber gets pregnant and Nick doesn't want to take any responsibilities of the soon to be born baby.....so what happens? go ahead watch this one....c'mon go . watch at least for the mysterious suspense(lol)!lmao! any way ....worth 4-5 watches..it is typical but entertaining

this film is funny,fun,romantic and above all a break through in Indian cinema. When i watched this film, i did so with my cousin who has just come from Bangladesh to study, the reason i did this was to observe his reaction and incorporate with mine. Whilst watching the film, i felt as if though i was watching a Hollywood film but just in Hindi, but when the reality came in i realised and appreciates the directors emphasis on the changing values of the Asian countries. whilst watching it i felt that the concept and aspect of the story was very well done, but felt the part where it shows them happy and then instantly have a bad phase in the relationship to be too quick, however this was a new experimental vision. after the film ended i asked my cousin if he liked it or not, but he said that it was good but he didn't like the general story of the abortion, which is where mine values (as i was born hear) were different to his, and he didn't like the fact of change in the society. this film was a good film and i wouldn't be surprised to see similar types of film in the future!
