Wonderfully offbeat film!

... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
... View MoreA 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.
... View MoreI fell in love with you since the first time i saw you and the commitment Akshay made that he won't leave until he saw her getting married that makes that character my hero,as a guy who went through same similar circumstance my only saying to all the fan of this movie is to only let them know that if you love someone truly never give up. No matter what the up's and down is there anyone could overcome it.Look at this, some guy from from native village in India never loose his hope for the girl who is truly westerner in every aspect. If he can get the love of his life than if anyone can but funny thing not everyone can be Akshay and so not everyone could fall in love Katrina.
... View MoreWatching a movie after a year of it being released hardly gives you the kick when you see it when it's still hot in the theatres and everybody's going ga-ga about it. However, this is one movie that I watched twice in succession. Come to think of it and I bet you can hardly remember doing that yourself. And if you are one of those guys who look for perfection in a movie it's the closest you can get. The movie is mostly shot in London and has this customary beginning about NRI families who have trouble with their kids being brought up in a western society but don't get disheartened you ain't in for a shock. Also, don't go by the story of the movie which doesn't draw you to the movie but for once give in to your instincts about the movie being a success story at the box office and I can assure you that you are in for a treat. You might not be able to relate to it but given the performances it sure is going to tickle a nerve in your heart.
... View MoreAkshay Kumar shows as he is the Ruler of Bollywood & he is. His performance was excellent. He have a solo hit this time. Katrina shares great chemistry with Akshay. Rishi Kapoor, Irfaan Shaikh & Upen Patel gave their best to movie. After all movie is a great flick & hit allover. I wanted to watch it again.Some scenes in the movie are unforgettable like Rugby match, Akshay's revenge on insulting India, the song rafta rafta, Katrina's suspense of marriage to Akshay Kumar, Upen Patel insulting his culture & parents, Akshay Kumar on tractor & biking. I think readers should go again & watch the movie.
