AsH-ABHISHEK MARRIAGE OBSESSION


Its official bollywood first family is finally getting a daughter in law & its none other than the poster gal of bollywood -aishwarya rai One of the most speculated event for more than a year now & probably second only headline after the woolmers murder in the Indian scene Probably after a series of lies from the groom-bride its not always possible to keep the supposedly truth seeking media always at bay &
the Indain people are more than happy to learn the truth.
Unfortunately the overdose of the hype is making one sick to the stomach.Right from the the clothes to the flowers is hitting the headline that one cannot help but wonder is there a derth of news of national importance lately.Has the media, the people of this great nation has become so privy & trivial that one has to feast on what ash/abhishek is wearing to decide for themselves how their marriages should be.If the media simply refuses to learn from its mistakes, probably the cricketing hype hasnt taught them enough lessons.I am just praying that hopefully some calamity/murder/arson/suicide....happen so that the poor people be spared from this onslaught of irrelevant inconsequential & misplaced journalism.

review salaam-e-ishq


Expections was very high for this multi starrer; post 'kal ho na ho' nikhil advani was walking on thin ice, yet he chose this risky topic.Risky cause
>this movie has nothing but different shades of love,no action sequence.
>appeals to mostly to urban class.
>6 different stories needed to be dealt with without overplayng any other character especially because all are big stars involved.

but full credit to him for pulling off such a beautiful movie.
6 different stories is synonimous to 6 different shades of love, each able to capture such deicate emotions which is explicitly potrayed.The plot looks convincing and by bollywood standards script & logic is very much intact.All charcters are perfectly etched out without any scope for confusion.The movie is able to make you laugh as wel as cry and the success can be gauged from the fat that the audience are glued to the moie even after the climax is over jus to see the movie till its culmination.
however the movie is not without its flaws, starting of the first half is rather dull with the six stories leavin a majorty of audience confused.Salmans role is overplayed to appease his stardom status and pc's acting becomes at times iritating which was otherwise one of pc's best ever as far as the acting goes.

verdict:
The movie is a big hit with exceptional opening in multiples which are running to packed houses till date.Music has alrady been chartbuster.Must watch movie!!

character sketch:
priyanka is an item girl who want to make it big, salman pc's problem.john-vidya mediapersons married & madly in love.anil-juhi married & anil is having mid life crises.govinda-sahnnon, cab driver dedicated to re-unite his passenger to her boyfriend.sohail-ishha, newly wed parsi couple.akshay-ayesha engaged but not yet married.

verdict:4/5
