Some people say movies with excellent music tend to have worthless storylines. Namastey London puts an end to this stereotype.
This family entertainer tackles an issue close to many peoples hearts in the Asian society - the idea of forced marriage. Katrina plays the pretty British Asian chick who is forced to marry a noble, innocent village boy, Akshay Kumar. However, when Akshay comes to London, things turn haywire, as Katrina questions the validity of the marriage. She begins to express interest in marrying a rich English boss, Charlie. The rest you can watch for yourself. The viewer learns from Akshay's journey that there are no conditions in true love. One cannot change onself for another in the name of love. Himesh Reshammiya's music is given full justice on screen, with great visuals and choreography. The song Rafta Rafta is portrayed the best out of all the songs. In the video, Katrina's dazzling desi look and Akshay Kumar's bright pink and shocking green kurta are worth a look! Rishi Kapoor delivers a tremendous peformance, upholding the emotional and comical portions of the movie amazingly well. Of all the performances, it is the lead pair Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar who walk away with the most applauds. There is no other actress in the Bollywood industry who could have portrayed a British Asian the way Katrina did - with such ease, style and confidence. Akshay Kumar is on top form as he delivers another awe inspiring performance, one of his best to date!
If there is one movie you are going to totally enjoy this year, I can assure you it is going to be Namastey London.
