"Salaaaaaaaaam-E-Ishq"

Pheew...Evr imagined watching a 3 hr 45 minute marathon of a movie for a 10 pm show at Innovative Multiplex and returning home to write a review...Sounds crazy rite ??...Well in a way I am...Nyway u mite have already got the reason behind the extra 'a' s in the otherwise "Salaam-E-Ishq"...Yup it indicates the length of the movie which supercedes KANK...So if u thought KANK was a torture then be prepared for this one (just for the length)...The movie as such is not as boring as KANK but it could have done away with some of the song sequences just to reduce the length although the music is gud !!

I really liked the way Nikhil Advani has interlinked 5 + 1 different love stories into a single co-incidence better known as "Salaam-E-Ishq"...Itz actually 5 stories with an additional comic one thrown in between which makes it 5 + 1.

The movie is gud despite the fact that it is lengthy since it keeps u interested for the maximum part...The only places where I was feeling sleepy (...read yawning) was during the dance sequences and some relatively sad moments baring which it really did keep me interested (quite strange)...!!

As per the chemistry goes John and Vidya, Govinda and Shannon Esrechowitz ('The Firang' aka 'Su' in "Rang De..."), Akshaye and Ayesha, Anil and Juhi, Priyanka and Sallu AND "Sohail and Isha"...all hit it off pretty well baring a bit of overacting at times by Sallu and Akshaye !!

Coming to the movie - The title is pretty much suggestive as this is a 'Tribute to True Love'...And if u already know that 'Love is Blind'...'Love Hurts'...and 'Love Unites'...thn u probably know the concept and base of this movie...But these concepts alone dont make the movie watchable as these are tried and tested typical Bollywood masala stuff...There is something else about this movie which will keep u interested...One is the interlinking of the stories and the second is the comic angle to the whole plot despite emotional moments which will keep u glued...!!

Acting wise John, Vidya, Juhi, Govinda (surprised) , 'The Firang', Ayesha and Anil give sound performances although Priyanka and Akshaye could have been better...Wont reveal much about the plot since u will get to know most of it in the morning newspaper reviews...!!

All in all a decent movie and my suggestion (am not a perfect critic as yet) is 'Go and Watch It if u can sustain It' and better avoid the late night show...!!

Coming up - Reviews for Departed, The Black Dahlia, A Good Year, Babel, Blood Diamond...Till then "Salaam-E-Ishq" :-)

Guru Bhai Guru Bhai...Mast Che !!

Dhirubhai Ambani himself would have been proud of Mani Ratnam's vivid take on his life as a small town boy named Guru who knew the intricacies of business and within a short span rebelled against the system and the powers that be to create an image of his own and generate hope amongst the common man. He inspired people to Dream Big and made them realise it too !!

Guru essentially narrates the journey of a boy who with his determination and vision becomes one of the greatest Industrialist of modern India better known as GURUKANT DESAI and how he handles his empire from falling prey to a myopic government.

Riveting and Gripping...This movie is full of substance and will keep you glued for the entire
length.I found glimpses of Sarkar somewhere in it but then again it is purely from an abstract viewpoint not related in any way to the story or the narration...Itz just that the scenic settings and village backdrops seemed so familiar very much Mani Ratnam style.

Abhishek Bachchan has given a performance of a lifetime and 'Brand Aishwarya' is on an image makeover mission after the not so great appearance in Dhoom II...Again the cast and the roles fit perfectly and you would feel a lot of research has been done to find the right people and to get them in shape to deliver a power packed performance.

Not to forget Mithun da, Madhavan and ofcourse Vidya Balan for great supporting roles.And I would be crazy enough if I dont mention the foot-tapping music of AR Rahman...Trust me if you havent heard all of the songs then you would definitely sway to numbers like Maiyya Maiyya, Yemma Yemma Yemma Le and Nannare Nannare....!!

All in all a great movie...Cudnt have missed the First Day Last Show as usual...Mani Ratnam at his very best...This movie is a must watch !!
