Namaste London (नमस्ते लंदन) (Hindi, 2007)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Why do I get conned into watching such movies? That it has Akshay Kapoor and Katrina Kaif should have warned me, and it did. Perhaps I was starved of Bollywood films as none had come to Ipswich in past couple of weeks, that I went into the movie thinking maybe, it will be semi-decent. पर नहीं, कौआ कितने मोती खा ले हंस तो हो नहीं जाएगा (An ugly duckling can't turn into a swan).

Namaste London, in its attempt to portray an Indian girl born in Britain and having supposedly British values being brought to appreciate the love that India and Indian men can give, ends up being a poor mockery of both Indian and British cultures. Some cliched pop-patriotic jingo, some badly shot scenes of London, some boring music and a stupid screenplay leave your head reeling.

Enough said. Just avoid the movie.
