Salaam-E-Ishq: Review

Behold; here comes the much-awaited, much painted, much hyped up multi-starcast; launched under a much-famed production house. Wish I could say something really good about the film too. To be frank, it was one long-drawn, disemboweling, nettlesome experience to watch the meaning of ‘love’ and ‘relationships’ being fouled over and over again for about three and a half hours. Having said that, the film does take you around some of the actions and reactions, and the brain-and-heart chemistry that occurs through different stages of wanting, sensing, giving, receiving, living and relinquishing love (or sort of love). But the conundrum isn’t worth gracing the silver screen! You could probably while away your time on it at your own pace in the comfort of your living room and that too if you have nothing else to do.

The script constantly loses the audience's mindshare and fails to strike the right chord. The background score, a couple of songs, a couple of dialogues and a few purrs now and then, and the only sane couple, John Abraham and Vidya Balan, help keep the titanic from getting ‘frozen’!

Catch this movie on the big screen at your own risk!

My rating: * *

the movie is very good and stands up to its expectation and hype - people are not introduced in the right way and dont know about the actuals which probably makes vinay think so ......... BEST COMPANY WILL GET THE BEST STUFF ( PRESENT TENSE).......btw, tickets only thr cash......hows that for a change?
