Salaam-E-Ishq: Review

Salaam-E-Ishq: Review

Cast: Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Govinda, Akshay Khanna, Ayesha Takia, Sohail Khan, Isha Koppikar, John Abraham, Vidya Balan, Anil Kapoor, Juhi Chawla

Director: Nikhil Advani

Twelve People. Six Love Stories. One Problem. Love.

And more problems for the audience. That sums up all the movie is all about. Four hours… yes you got it correct… Four Hours of absolute torture and pure non-sense.

In the quest of making an out of box movie with a high profile multi-starrer cast, the director forgets to give the movie any sort of life or rather any sort of story even to begin with. In the first 15 minutes itself, you come to know that the movie is an absolute crap. And you wasted your hard earned money, and more importantly 4 precious hours of your life.

The absence of any sort of Story in the first place makes you feel whether the producer of the movie forgot to pay the writer. The Director, Nikhil Advani, wanted to bank on the success of his previous venture with Kal Ho Na Ho. But he rather forgot that he had to put in some efforts to make a movie which people would at least like to see in entirety. And regarding the Music of the movie, there is not a single song other than the title song which you would even like to hear once.

And the movie does more harm than any gain for seasoned actors like Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham, Anil Kapoor and Juhi Chawla. The scenes with Sohail Khan and Isha Koppikar seemed quite interesting with the former getting to desperate to have the after marriage activities with his wife, but things not working each time. Only Akshaye Khanna and Ayesha Takia have something to take away from this movie with some meaningful roles and enough time on-screen and both justifying it with their acting skills.

Verdict:
- If you don’t want to waste 4 hours of your precious life, better not watch it.
- If you want to waste 4 hours of your precious life, then too better not watch it as there are better thing to waste time on.
