Saif Ali KhanSalaam Namaste - Review

Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta starrer Salaam Namaste is about two people in a live-in relationship. Besides entertaining you, the movie can teach you a thing or two about relationships.

Siddharth Raj Anand makes a praiseworthy beginning of his career as a director with this movie. He handles various aspects of the story with flourish, doesn't stifle the proceedings with too many songs, evenly distributes funny and tender moments, and also gives a serious twist to the tale in the second half without making things overtly melodramatic and soppy.




Ambar (Preity Zinta) came to Australia to study medicine and mostly to avoid her nagging parents who keep pestering her with possible suitors for marriage. In Melbourne, she works part time as a radio jockey for the radio station Salaam Namaste.

Nick (Saif Ali Khan) is an architect whose creativity comes out not on the drawing board but in the culinary delights that he cooks in the restaurant Nick of Time in Melbourne. A chef by profession, Nick is an easy-come-easy-go guy who likes to party and live a life without commitments.

Nick, being Nick, fails to turn up for a scheduled interview with Salaam Namaste jockey Ambar simply because he oversleeps. So she decides to teach him a lesson in discipline and punctuality.

The two eventually encounter each other. What begins as a spat turns into a mutual liking after a night at a party.

Nick asks Ambar to move in with him, just to see how compatible they can be while living under the same roof. She agrees, and from then on begins the gradual realization that it is one thing to fall in love, but another to share one's life with someone.

There are funny moments, spats, flared tempers and tender expressions, all packed together in their day-to-day life in the same apartment. But then, things get complex after Ambar gets pregnant. How the two encounter this truth and take the ultimate decision that could either bring them together for life or drive them apart is what the remaining movie is about.

The movie has a fresh story supported by excellent dialogues (Abbas Tyrewala) and commendable performances by Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta. On the sidelines, Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaffery pep up things further. The movie has romance, comedy, little fights between lovers, tender moments and the final expression of love.
