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.
