Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
bandhagi A narrow-minded, prejudiced and rather racist understanding of culture and love, this film makes every attempt at insulting Britons and young, westernised NRIs, whilst thinly disguised as modern and forward-thinking. It attacks Britishers in order to glorify India, traditional values and most of all, Akshay Kumar as a stellar love interest. The main love story between Jazz and Arjun can be described troublesome at best, and it is very disturbing to think that Indians all over the world are romanticising this relationship. Never mind that he decided he was in love with her without knowing her or even speaking to her, any foreign woman who has ever been to India and been stared at pointedly by a full grown man would not find the characters' first meeting endearing, but rather, downright terrifying. Not to mention ever the second time they meet, when a drunk Arjun presses Jazz against the wall of her own guest bedroom terrace, and forces his hand over her mouth as he speaks. Perfectly innocent apparently, nothing predatory there at all. Oh and when asked if he was happy to marry her, he jests that if they didn't wed, he'd kidnap her instead. But no, this isn't borderline stalkerish at all: it is wildly romantic, apparently.There is a moment of course, back in London, where we feel badly for him, when it turns out that Jazz had tricked him in order to save herself. But, sorry to say, it is quickly dispelled when Arjun pointedly ignores her wishes and chooses to trail her all around London, including on bridges and trains, in case she should break her heel or forget her train pass, hoping that she will fall in love with him. And how convenient it is, that her fiancé, Charlie Brown is such a player, how perfectly contrived it is that there is no such thing as a good, handsome, successful British man that she could ever be happy with.Ridiculous, I'm sorry to say.
Amit Sharma I fell in love with you since the first time i saw you and the commitment Akshay made that he won't leave until he saw her getting married that makes that character my hero,as a guy who went through same similar circumstance my only saying to all the fan of this movie is to only let them know that if you love someone truly never give up. No matter what the up's and down is there anyone could overcome it.Look at this, some guy from from native village in India never loose his hope for the girl who is truly westerner in every aspect. If he can get the love of his life than if anyone can but funny thing not everyone can be Akshay and so not everyone could fall in love Katrina.
Angelus2 This film is based on forced marriages, interracial relationships and the issues that arise in Asian families in the west. The script is really good but it is ruined by the actress Katrina Kaif, she cannot act, her overacts in certain areas and looks completely lost half the time. Akshay Kumar however provides the much needed comedy and will have you laughing.The topics are very thought provoking and as a British Asian I find myself asking the question is love really important or the values that my ancestors have...The English are portrayed as either party lovers or snobbish, which is totally incorrect. Howver like all Bollywood movies the music makes up for it. Chakna Chakna is amazing and will capture you....
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.
