Out of batch, two are fantastic (John-Vidya, Govinda-Shannon), two are average (Anil-Juhi-Anjana, Akshaye-Ayesha), and one is horrendous (Salman-Priyanka). The problem with Salaam-e-Ishq is not that it isn’t woven together adequately.
One thing Hindi cinema is slowly learning is that stars don’t sell and this endless tribute to love proves exactly that. However, the movie doesn’t make you want to fall in love…it makes you want to fall asleep. Boasting of such an enormous star cast, expectations were naturally monumental for Salaam-e-Ishq. Unfortunately he drops a few balls in this romantic saga, a saga that stretches runs for nearly four hours. Six couples and six stories are a lot to juggle, even for Nikhil Advani. A massive star cast, fantastic music, lush production values, and a romantic signature…what could go wrong? Loads, trust me, loads.
So what sets apart SEI from the recurring romance flicks churned out each year? Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Akshaye Khanna, Ayesha Takia, John Abraham, Vidya Balan, Anil Kapoor, Juhi Chawla, Anjana Sukhani, Govinda, Shannon Esra, Sohail Khan and Isha Koppikkar that’s what. So before even venturing into this flick, you know you’re in for a mushy affair, which isn’t always bad. In Nikhil Advani’s Salaam-e-Ishq, the title speaks volumes. The concept of romance is certainly not ancient to Bollywood, with our passionate love stories often indicating a distinct stamp of Indian cinema.
Pyaar, ishq, mohabbat, prem-the Hindi dictionary is overflowing with words synonymous with love. Starring: Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham, Vidya Balan, Govinda, Shannon Esra, Anil Kapoor, Juhi Chawla, Akshaye Khanna, Ayesha Takia, Anjana Sukhani, Sohail Khan and Isha Kopikkar
