Best movie of this year hands down!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

i enjoyed this movie very much its not even a box office failure its splendid good story good direction good editing i loved the songs in this moviei like each actors performancesgood music salman and his brother have both done a spectacular job in their character roles akshaye was brilliant john was good other did fine performancesmy rating will be 4/5 or 8/10 stars ****/***** or ********/**********this movie is worth watching

OK the director remakes LOVE ACTUALLY The director Nikhil Advani after debuting with KHNH does his second half and waitHe makes a 3:30 hours + film which loses on patience, time.etc The viewer seems like a 3 hrs sleep watching this filmOK they had 6 stories so it was necessary but why? 6 stories?We have the Anil- Juhi story convincing but boring don't TV serials show such stories?We have Govinda- Shannon story which is funny and works well We have Akshaye-Ayesha story again believable but gets boring soon and the focus is on comedy more and that too slapstick boring comedyWe have Salman- Priyanka story which is the worst, not just acting terms, it makes no sense at allWe have Sohail- Isha story to make you laugh and the trick works at times thanks to the boredom set by most of other storiesWe have John- Vidya story a good story in all respectsBut then by the time all stories come in bits n pieces the viewer gets bored and sleepy The climax isn't appealing though especially The climax of Salman- Priyanka story Nikhil Advani's handling is alright at places, some stories are well handled but weak at places Music(SEL)is good, but too many songs Cinematography is nice, every story is given a different look, texture and it worksActors Govinda rocks, after a dismissal comeback with BB he actually makes you laugh and love him in this film despite his age and weight Anil Kapoor acts his part well, though he looks out of shape and tired John excels in his part, Akshaye Khanna overacts for a changeSohail Khan is too over- the - top and Isha has nothing to do Anjana Suknani is dismissalPriyanka and Salman deserve an award for this film you are shocked?Salman Khan doesn't act only, just talks like he is in his sleep and that fake accent oh god Priyanka overacts to such a standard you feel like throwing something on her, she does get better towards the end Vidya Balan is good, Juhi Chawla is okay Shannon is okay

Salaam-e-Ishq is a wonderful movie. Although there were many bigwigs of the industry it did not seem crowed at all.Govinda-Shannon pairing brought on a good comic relief and the Sohail-Isha dilemma was a worthwhile effort in the movie there desperation for a what every married couple can do was hilarious every failed attempt was a laugh.John and Vidya were beautiful together. they had chemistry and john gave the performance of his career. His character really jumped out and seemed realistic. Vidya was equally good she seems to be able to portray every situation naturally. Johns ability to cry has the power of making those watching cry with him. Vidyas confusion pours out of her eyes. hats off to those two.Salman and Priyanka were good although i think their script wasn't developed enough. They should have had either a bigger part in the film or a smaller one. Priyanka was good and there pairing works. Salman's hair style succeeded in taking years of his ace.Anil-Juhi-Anjana pairing did not fit. Juhi's role was underplayed until the end which didn't work well for Anil. if there relationship had been shown prior to his meeting with Anjana then the effect would have been better.Akshaye Khanna ones again dazzles the audience with an uncanny imitation of almost every bachelor before marriage. Ayesha's characters belief and trust in love was a great foil to Akshaye's confusion. Her Stabilty carries this love story through to the end.all in all the movie is a must see for all those who are crazy about love stories. the ending is great starting with Johns heart wrenching proposal to Priyankas with everyone else falling in between. Govinda and Shannon click beautifully in the end with Shannon's speech in Hindi leaving us rolling on the floor. Akshaye's forgetfulness adds a lightness to the scene.Adnan Sami's Dil Kya Kare is a delightful song and the rest left me tapping my feet and humming it. 8 out of ten

**** SPOILERS BELOW**** This was Govinda's big comeback which was widely considered to be his best by a lot of critics.I have heard good and bad reviews, some saying that the film was a waste of time and some saying Govinda's performance was the only thing worthwhile.Me and my family went to watch this particular movie as my father i a big fan of Govinda we were accompanied by my cousin who newcomer to bollywood films.The film inter-wines the lives of 6 couples with their own problems.Khamini(Priyanka) is a actress who wants to be a heroine in Karan Johars movies while Rahul (Salman Khan) plays the paid actor who is willing to help Priyanka achieve her dream by acting as a hot and up-coming couple.Ram (Sohail Khan) and Poolwati (Isha Koppikar) are newly weds who are looking for their first night together which results in a fire and lots more humorous accidents.Raju (Govinda) is a taxi driver who is looking for his dream girl who happens to be in he form of Steph (Shannon Esrechowitz) who is in search of her boyfriend.Vinay (Anil Kapoor) is a man bored with life as he has everything a man could possibly have wealth a loving wife Seema (Juhi Chawla) and children yet his heart yearns for excitement and this leads him to meet a dancer named Anjali who is everything he needs.Ashu (John Abraham) and Tehzeeb (Vidya Balan) are a couple who are separated by a tragic accident leaving one with amnesia while the other must fight for the love they once had.And Finally Akshaye Khanna plays Shiven a man scared of commitment who has a fiancé Gia who is getting angry waiting.The stories are beautifully inter wined I personally felt pulled into Raju's world as I am going through the same thing where a girl has no idea how much I love her. LOL.The jokes were very funny especially Govinda's gags the songs were preety bright and colourful a true bollywood fiesta the last film I went to see on the big screen that made me feel amazed and full of excitement was Kabhie Khushie Kabhie Gham.I felt that Shannon was brilliant in her role as the girl willing to do anything for her love.But one thing that hit me was the mind of westernised Asian males.I am an Asian male and felt ashamed that their were some guys out their who are willing to go out with girls whether white,black etc.But when it comes to marriage they shy away and look to their families for a person to spend their life with.The one thing that I felt wasn't needed was Priyanka and Salman simply because it felt overacted her whole image was mainly the issue.simply Govinda and Shannon were the true diamonds in this film nd shined brighter then the rest.
