Review of Salaam-e-Ishq (2007) by Chris C — 06 Feb 2010
This film is Bollywood's take on 'Love Actually'. Comprising multiple stories of love, in all its very different forms, and highlighting how interconnected we all are to those around us - even people we would consider strangers are only one or two friends or acquaintances removed.
The balance ibetween romance, heavy drama and light-hearted comedy is good, as with 'Love Actually', but with that slightly more far-fetched quality typical of Bollywood. However, the Bollywood exuberance is largely underplayed, making this film a very good entry point for people unfamiliar with Bollywood movies.
The run-time is quite long (fairly typical), but the split narrative and engaging stories means you barely notice.
