Salaam Namaste!

Finally Madam C convinced me to go watch another Hindi movie with her. This time it was Salaam Namaste.

Picked her up from Bandra around 12.15pm and we immediately headed back to Cinemax, Andheri.

Salaam Namaste is the story of two Indians in Australia. Ambar played by Preity Zinta comes to Australia to learn medicine and works part time as a radio jockey for the radio station Salaam Namaste.
Nick (Saif Ali Khan) is an architect by profession and a chef by choice living his life with no commitments and as he chooses too.

Nick, being Nick, fails to turn up for a scheduled interview with Salaam Namaste jockey Ambar simply because he oversleeps. She rewards him with a lesson in punctuality and discipline.

They eventually meet and as with most Bollywood movies the fighting couple falls in love. Nick asks Ambar to move in with him to check their compatibility and she agrees.

What follows is a rather enjoyable movie, predictable but fun. There are many funny, few sad, some heart wrenching and several romantic moments in the film.

Arsad Warsi as Saif’s best friend and Javed Jaffrey as Saif and Preity’s landlord do add a few funny moments in the film.

A highly recommended movie especially if you are taking that special someone for it.

After lunch, we went back to Bandra. I first picked up my Reebok shoes from the showroom in Khar and then we went to Smoking Joe’s at Hill Road for pizza.

Dropped her home and returned back in time for the 6pm mass.

The weekend this time still feels incomplete due to us having work on Saturday. Another week ahead. Gotta work now…
