SALAAM-E-SIX
Pot-pourri,, that what we used to do in colleges ahttp://www.trafficzap.com/exchange/exit.php?id=73519&q=821&btn=on">nd picnics. Getting different food items and consuming them or thinking of different games to play at parties. But didn’t know in showbiz also one could use it. The recent movie proved there is no shortage of talent, money and screenplay and stories. Love is in the air, was theme of Richard Curtis ‘Love Actually’, love was protagonist in last week’s film Anwar and now not one but six different aspects of love in a film ‘Salaam-E-Ishq’. The movie was in news first for separation of Nikhil Advani from his guru Karan Johar to make this one, and then roll a poll of stars of it and then the marketing which was definitely something. So after Guru a good movie of year and Risk a average one, audiences including me are looking for visual treat now. The people stepped in to watch multi-starrer, multi story movie for good time only little did they know time was tooooo long.
The movie is about love dissolved in six stories and blended with thirteen characters. Sounds as over sweet cake served with 10 teaspoons of sugar drowned coffee. So let’s venture into their lives………
Story1: About Hindu editor Ashutosh(John) falling in love and marrying Muslim broadcast journalist Tehzeeb( Vidya Balan) against his family wishes. The married life goes smoothly for 2 years till their life changes with she boards a train that crashes hard enough to give her short term memory deficit. And it’s never same as before for both of them. It’s inspiring to see them come out of this crisis and start a new life together.
Story 2: Raju Taxiwala (Govinda) is a Hanuman worshipping Delhi cab driver whose aim if life is to marry a white blonde girl for whom he waits till his hair turns grey. The luck strikes, omens answer and one fine day a girl from Canada does step in, Stefanie (Shannon). But only to his utter disappointment, she is in Delhi to hunt her boyfriend (Kushal Punjabi) who is busy searching a bride for himself with his parents. Their journey travels from Delhi to Agra to Udaipur to Amritsar and finally, Delhi. The journey among two people not understanding each other’s language but conversing through language of world, Love is definitely a thing to watch for.
Story 3: This one is about a Bombay based retrosexual guy Shiven(Akhaye Khanna) who is about to marry Delhi based straightforward girl Gia(Ayesha Tarkia) whose father (Prem Chopra) is always at his back, but only to realize his afraid of marriage and chickened out on commitment on eve of his bachelor’s party. He tries hard to cancel his marriage which is served as humor to us. Only to realize after canceling, that he has made a wrong decision and tries to correct it.
Story 4: Middle age life crisis is what our 40 year old London based businessman Vinay Malhotra (Anil Kapoor) dealing with. He has beautiful wife Seema (Juhi Chawla) and 2 children. But he misses spark in his life and hence gets ignited with a much younger fire bomb Anjali (Anjana). She seduces him and grabs him, he is happy and content and even when Seema finds out he is not ready to admit his mistake and back out. But on verge of losing Seema for Anjali does he realizes importance of his past 15 years of his married life and off he goes to sort things with Seema.
Story5: Kamini (Priyanka Chopra) is a item girl with dream of working in Karan Johar film. But, much to her dismay scandals and unwanted bad publicity doesn’t leave her, and as if all this wasn’t enough for her. She goes and announces that she is love with a fictious man, her friend of childhood Rahul . So Mr. Mystery Rahul(Salman Khan) appears from nowhere and creates a havoc in her life. He comes as storm fills her life with love for him and then disappears only to her craving for him now. There she is shunning the publicity and rejecting big offers to search Rahoool according to character himself only to find that Rahul was his ex co-worker when she was basically a small bar dancer.
Story6: Rather smaller one and just to add lighter moments to audience is about Haryanvi Ramdayal (Sohail Khan) who is trying to consummate his marriage to his bride Phoolwati (Isha Koppikar) with failed n number of trials.
The movie is well directed with good screenplay written by Nikhil Advani and the stories are well woven by him leading to one finesse climax. The biggest and only flaw in movie is too long as long is this review. The editor was missing from the crew and unwanted scenes and songs could be cut. The cinematographer did its job well, but heavier story of John and Vidya slowed the pace of film. Music was mind blowing, with hats off to Shankar Eshaan and Loy to add cheery to ice cream. Performance wise Govinda and Akshaye share numero uno spot followed by Vidya, Anil and Anjana as sultry seductress. Juhi, Salman, John and Ayesha have done far justice to their rolses.
The surprise package was Shanoon who in those tender moments excelled on screen woth another well established actor. The chemistry between them showed produced goosebumps and butterflies within my stomach. Anjana was great in seducing Anil. Priyanaka initially acted like bimbo with cleavage revealing, leg baring dresses but as climax approaches she unfolds her talents of acting to audience. In all 3 hours and 35 minutes of good entertainment but price of time too far paid for that entertainment, hence if editor had been employed a movie would have gone to different altitudes of audience viewing cinema.
