derya_acar One of my favourite movies.. The chemistry between Akshay and Katrina is on point. It's one of those movies u can watch over and over again.
Gypsi Bates Jasmeet (Katrina Kaif) was raised in London and has turned into a wild young woman, rejecting her Indian roots and going by the appropriate name of "Jazz". Her father (Rishi Kapoor) takes her on a trip through India, ending in his hometown in Punjab. While there, he marries her (not willingly) to his best friend's son, Arjun (Ashkay Kumar). When the couple returns to London, Jazz announces that she doesn't recognize the Indian marriage, and proceeds with her plans of becoming the fourth wife of her boss (Clive Standen). Arjun, must either give in gracefully and lose his wife, or find a way to fight for his marriage by showing Jazz that true love can win.The plot is cute and fun, and I enjoyed it. Kumar is a good actor and played both comedy and serious well. I'm not fond of Kaif, and don't feel that she is a particularly good actress, but she was well suited for this role. The supporting cast (especially Nina Wadia) are excellent. The locations and cinematography were great. However, I actively disliked the club music/dancing, and for me that lowered the movie from four stars to three.
b-ionela Being an European girl married to an Indian man, i was deeply consonant with Jazz's role. I am intrigued by some facts such as: why the British dude comes from a rich family, is selfish and unstable, why presenting the Europeans as ignorant about India and Indian culture, why picturing European girls as easy girls, addicted to nightclub life and indecent clothing, why keeping such high barriers between Indian values and European ones.We live in a world where inter-cultural relationships are becoming more and more present. Globalization, advanced technology and communication means, migration of people to more developed countries are prime criteria for this.For me, this movie presents the pattern thinking of a generation of people that cant accept these changes, with a defensive attitude, a fear from losing native values and beliefs.It is more comfortable to stick to these stereotypes than to try a real and open communication.I Love India, I admire and I respect Indian culture, Indian people, and I am proud to be a Hindi patni.
nilaytaneja The movie came as pleasant surprise. Akshay Kumar, Katrina kaif and Rishi Kapoor gave excellent performances. Comedy was great, best of which was the part when they search for grooms in India. The music by himmesh reshamiya was good but awfully similar in feel. I felt as if the same song was playing again and again. The thee of the film was really realistic but the story was not. The ending was very very easily predictable. The very first scene tells you what the ending would be. Although the scene said something else , but one can tell instantaneously.Upen Patel also gave a great performance. I don't usually like his movies but I think it was his best performance to date.Overall a good movie with a predictable ending. The idea is not impossible but still not worth believing.
