Namastey London - 7 yays, 7 nays, 4 okays

Wogma Review

Two hard laughs, two emotional scenes and an attempt to evoke patriotism in the Indian cinema goer. Worked for some, didn't work for the rest of us. Akshay Kumar gives an appreciably controlled performance and while Katrina Kaif gives her best so far, yet leaves loads of room for improvement. The story has way too many holes. Then again, we can't expect anything more in a romantic comedy.

Thumbs up by Taran Adarsh, IndiaFM ...Writer Suresh Nair’s screenplay is most convincing, the writing is foolproof, with no loose ends.... full review

So-So by Lidia Ostepeev, Planet Bollywood ...Although it’s predictable Namastey London is still entertaining... full review

Thumbs up by Nikhil Kumar, Apun Ka Choice ...The movie is certainly not a rehash of Manoj Kumar’s ‘Poorab Aur Pashchim’.... full review

Thumbs up by Subhash K Jha, SantaBanta.com ...He takes gentle but stinging swipes at the residue of rootlessness that characterizes the torn lives of Indians abroad.... full review

Thumbs down by Gaurav Malani, J.A.M ...Himesh is as nasal as usual. But what’s disappointing is that the usually dependable Javed Akhtar goes on to write inanities... full review

Thumbs up by Prachi Singh, MovieWalah ...The screenplay is neat and has been penned by Suresh Nair and presents an organized story... full review

Thumbs up musicNmovies.info ...Its complete family movie with full of laughter, love and of course dollops of tear jerking drama... full review

Thumbs down by Sanjay Ram, Business of Cinema ...stereotypical representation of Englishmen as those living in Victorian manors sipping tea while the Indians in England are being discriminated…..blah blah... full review

So-So by Vaibhav Wankhede, M TV ...the film never takes itself too seriously... full review

So-So by Sukanya Verma, Rediff ...Seeing as this is a romantic comedy, there is no room for reality... full review

Thumbs up by Nikhat Kazmi, Times of India ... Vipul Shah's celebration of this sarson ka saag versus sauce and finger chips potpourri is essentially a fun film which pitches the Purab Paschim metaphor in muted tones.... full review

Thumbs down by Naomi Datta, Times Now ...But all in all, it is a rather predictable film - which rehashes ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ and ‘Purab Aur Paschim’, and is not even half as good!... full review

Thumbs down by Rajeev Masand, IBN Live ...this film is so caught up being self-congratulatory that it doesn't even realize where its slipping up... full review

So-So by Rachel Fernandes, Bollywood Mantra ...The film has a well balanced dose of masala in the form of song and dance, romance and even humour... full review

Thumbs down by Pankaj Shukla, SmasHits.com ...The film could have left some effect, had Akshay got support from solid playback signers... full review

Thumbs down by Amit R Agarwal, merinews ...There are too many issues and none of them have been properly delved into... full review

Thumbs up by Hanumant Bhansali, Radio Sargam ...The movie stands out as a winner in involving the audience in various emotional aspects.... full review

Thumbs down by Saakshi Juneja, To Each Its Own ...a film filled with script irregularities, directorial flaws, bucket loads of PJs and last but not the least ancient notions on apna Swades and paraya Inglaaand.... full review

Aaliyah audience member in Aus.:

Meetu, i Must agree with you this Film has the Best Poetry, i don't understand it, but with this movie i went out of my way to find a translation of the Song's. Absolutley Movedby the Words.
I will be re-newing my membership at the local bollywood store.

meetu:

Aaliyah, you got me all wrong there. I *did not* think the songs in this movie had any poetry whatsoever and that is what I was complaining about. I am talking about being moved by the other poetries that the lyricist, Javed Akhtar has written.

But, please do not let this keep you from renewing your membership. You will surely come across much better products from this industry.

Shivani:

Meetu is being too harsh on Javed Akhtar. Haven't you heard that gem of a song"Teri yaad saath hai" It evokes memories of a country left behind as well as the romantic love that brings forth nostalgia. Don't do bashing for the heck of it

SAKSHI:

Namaste London is a superb movie. Both Akshay and Katrina have done a good job. Katrina really looked like a Britisher n Akshay a Punjabi. And all the songs in the movie are really nice. I have seen this movie a number of times.

romita:

hi i don't know what to say about this movie,which has touched the bottom of my heart

i have seen this movie about 30 times and every time i saw this movie,it seems to be the first time show to me.

love does not follow any shackles and also does not bring up any discrimination,

no matter what background you are coming from. but once u fall in love with someone,everything seems to be equal.


i love that song "main jahan rahun, main kahin rahun.teri yaad saath hain.kisi se kahun,ke nahin kahun.yeh jo dil ki baat hain"


love each and every word of this song,which relates to my life.

Wow what a movie,it gave a sense of pride to be an indian,specially aky's dialouges on the boat.
The best part of it was the sweet n caring nature of Aki towards katrina.
