Good movie but grossly overrated

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A narrow-minded, prejudiced and rather racist understanding of culture and love, this film makes every attempt at insulting Britons and young, westernised NRIs, whilst thinly disguised as modern and forward-thinking. It attacks Britishers in order to glorify India, traditional values and most of all, Akshay Kumar as a stellar love interest. The main love story between Jazz and Arjun can be described troublesome at best, and it is very disturbing to think that Indians all over the world are romanticising this relationship. Never mind that he decided he was in love with her without knowing her or even speaking to her, any foreign woman who has ever been to India and been stared at pointedly by a full grown man would not find the characters' first meeting endearing, but rather, downright terrifying. Not to mention ever the second time they meet, when a drunk Arjun presses Jazz against the wall of her own guest bedroom terrace, and forces his hand over her mouth as he speaks. Perfectly innocent apparently, nothing predatory there at all. Oh and when asked if he was happy to marry her, he jests that if they didn't wed, he'd kidnap her instead. But no, this isn't borderline stalkerish at all: it is wildly romantic, apparently.There is a moment of course, back in London, where we feel badly for him, when it turns out that Jazz had tricked him in order to save herself. But, sorry to say, it is quickly dispelled when Arjun pointedly ignores her wishes and chooses to trail her all around London, including on bridges and trains, in case she should break her heel or forget her train pass, hoping that she will fall in love with him. And how convenient it is, that her fiancé, Charlie Brown is such a player, how perfectly contrived it is that there is no such thing as a good, handsome, successful British man that she could ever be happy with.Ridiculous, I'm sorry to say.

It is the best Akshay-Katrina movie duo till today.Unlike Akshay Kumar's other illogical movies this was an astounding movie to watch.A treat for romantic comedy movie fans.Akshay started doing comedy films since late 90's but tasted success, after Hera Pheri in the comedy genre.Namastey London was released in late 00s and became a box office hit.Katrina Kaif was in her rudimentary stages of learning and off-course acting.It was her first movie with her own dialogs instead of dubbing.Apart from the leading roles, Rishi kapoor as an accomplished actor did his part well.Other actors such as Javed Shekh ,Upen Patel & Clive Standen were OK.They (producers) could have portrayed Standon's character as an anti-hero of the movie.The music by Himesh Reshamiya & playback by Rahet Fateh Ali Khan are mesmerizing.Last but not the least, the patriotic dialog delivery by Arjun(Akshay) to Charlie's great grandpa was applausing.

This film is based on forced marriages, interracial relationships and the issues that arise in Asian families in the west. The script is really good but it is ruined by the actress Katrina Kaif, she cannot act, her overacts in certain areas and looks completely lost half the time. Akshay Kumar however provides the much needed comedy and will have you laughing.The topics are very thought provoking and as a British Asian I find myself asking the question is love really important or the values that my ancestors have...The English are portrayed as either party lovers or snobbish, which is totally incorrect. Howver like all Bollywood movies the music makes up for it. Chakna Chakna is amazing and will capture you....

Don't want to spoil it by saying many things about this movie...its indescribable.beautiful emotions and just right for the whole family, saw it alone on the plane to India and then with my grandparents in India. I would recommend that you watch it if you were in love, are in love or ever want to be in love. Its a special understanding for someone who lives abroad like me,and if you do too, you will appreciate it! The movie takes you on a journey that you perhaps have been on before, and this one you will still want to take. Needless to say its a Hindi film with the usual goof ups and slapstick humor,but if you have understood the emotion behind it, the director's task is accomplished. Watch it with family, friends, your love, and it will make more sense.
