Mumbai Salsa - Notepad

Mumbai Salsa

quick review: Not all love stories are the same. So, we have four. There is an attempt to touch upon some serious issues in relationships, while retaining a sense of humor. Unfortunately the humor is neither atrociously funny nor subtle. The serious parts lack novelty and punch. And neither can you take anything seriously nor can you sit back and enjoy the laugh.

This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.

Plot Summary

A group of four guys finds girlfriends in a group of three friends and one lady-colleague. The movie is about the ups and downs in their relationship.

What Worked

  • A voiceover that was introducing the theme, and not the characters of the movie.

What did not

Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here

  • Dear Mr. Writer, it is absolutely possible for four women to get together and not get bored without gossip or man-talk. You should have brought about your situation of the girls meeting with their boyfriends without using the boredom angle.
  • The caricatures made out of homosexuals.
  • The idea of a secret coming out through not-so-properly hidden photographs was used 40 years ago. Surely, we have a little more imagination than that.

kunal baikunth singh:

yaar vikram bhatt apne reputation ka khayal rakho bhai.mana ki film bahut achchi nahi hai par aap kiya soch kar tv pe bade bade baate karte hain...its not good for you ..you are agood director bt bad producer
good luck for next timre

COP:

I think this was one of the classic.. touched me at so many levels.. it was so original.. dude how many movies have u seen where a girl has sex and then says "i was wanted to confirm that I m straight".. or where an American gets racially discriminated.. simply awesome..

yes it might seem "regular" to you. and believe me its harder to characterize the realism.. than fiction..

I was so much impressed by the acting of new comers.. especially the Vir guy and Manjari.. so natural..

I liked the fact that movie was kept light and fun.. instead of getting too serious..

anita:

oh please! u r just being way too hard and irrational! excuse me? this movie is so original and more so the fact that it's based on day to day makes it more awesome, please! i think every actor made such great effort! and mind u it doesnt take one or two movies to establish drop dead screen presence. i beg to differ! the srks and aamirs didnt just make it with one or two it's taken them twenty years to get where they are. i think the music is great and contemporary,and suited the kind of movie perfectly. this movie aims to do sth different and i totally laud it, i mean after centuries, are we still expecting fairy tales where the heroine's sari starts flowing dramatically with the wind just because she saw the hero and other such mushy things? i mean mumbai salsa is REAL and i dont know what u were expecting. and about the humour, what are u talking about? ok so it didnt make you laugh so hard that u were gasping for breath but please! besidfes i think manjari was great! that was my first time seeing her and she bowled me over with her promise of talent!

flowers:

i agreed with kunal baikunth singh!! you are right Mr. Singh!!
