Namaste England Movie Review: Mallika Dua Steals The Show


PC: Siasat

"Duniya aaj bhi ek hi cheez pe kayam hai ... jiski wajah se duniya kayam hai ... pyaar"

 Cast: Parineeti Chopra, Arjun Kapoor
Directed By: Vipul Amruthlal Shah
Genre: Romance, Drama

 I genuinely feel it's high time Bollywood thinks ahead of the pehli nazar mein pyaar and clichè ways of showing how women are repressed in the society.

 Jasmeet (Parineeti Chopra) has only two goals in life - one is to settle in England and the other is to marry Param (Arjun Kapoor).
They meet, fall in love, and get married over a song. The rest of the film is all about how Jasmeet will do just about ANYTHING to get residency in England.
Because of this, we were put through 2 hours and 20 minutes of utter crap.

 I felt like some writers think the audience is naive so they churn a story around anything and everything.
There are a few funny moments but overall you can laugh at the film and not with it.
I'm one of those who loved Arjun and Parineeti's chemistry in Ishaqzaade but I can wait for a good script!

 They thanked Akshay Kumar in the starting of the film - was it because of Arjun Kapoor's desh bhakti waali speech? Or because they used the Namaste of Namaste London?
P.S. this isn't a sequel and thank god for that!

 I enjoyed the music, but then there's YouTube for that. And the 2 scenes which had Mallika Dua and her goofiness in it were hilarious. Not worth your money.

 Badhaai Ho released this week too and I'm a 100% sure this should be your weekend watch!

PC: India Today "Vikas (progress) aur Kalyan (welfare) ko milne mein abhi waqt hai" Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Divyendu Sharma, Yami Gautam Director: Shree Narayan Singh Genre: Drama Vikas and Kalyan are two travelers using whom this story of "progress" and "welfare" is narrated. Batti Gul Meter Chalu sheds light on the electricity scam situation in Uttarakhand(UK). Shahid Kapoor plays a lawyer who fights hard to get justice for his best friend while I fought harder to focus on the first half of the film.  Because the film was based in Uttarakhand, the accent was rubbed in our faces. I can safely say everyone overacted. The only bearable performance was given by Divyendu Sharma and Yami Gautam.  Nothing quite worked for me except, maybe, the court scenes. The banter between Shahid Kapoor and Yami Gautam is enjoyable, probably because the film was a drag up until now! 😐 You can skip this one.  Did you...

PC: Dailyhunt " Pyaar ek sim card ki tarah hota hai, woh kisi bhi phone mein perfectly fit ho jaata hai. Chahe woh phone mehenga ho ya sasta." Cast: Aayush Sharma, Warina Hussain, Ram Kapoor, Ronit Roy Directed By: Abhiraj Minawala Genre: Drama, Romance Special thanks to Salim Khan, Sohail Khan, and Arbaaz Khan. Produced by Salma Khan and Salman Khan Films. Stars Aayush Sharma, Salman Khan's brother-in-law. Why didn't Malaika do an item number? Just because Arbaaz and her have parted ways? That's unfair! I don't know who nailed the 'confused' face better, me or Aayush Sharma. 90% of the film he had a question mark on his face and 100% of the time I questioned my decision to allow my husband to drag me to this one. Whatever I write about newcomer Warina Hussain will be more. Even Ram Kapoor and Ronit Roy couldn't save this doobti hui naav . The attempt was to make a hardcore love story. Neither did the references made to Bolly...
