The maker of Aankhen and Waqt is back with Namastey London, and it is clear that Mr.Vipul Amrutlal Shah loves to play with his genres. Aankhen a mysterious thriller, Waqt a tear-jerker with a lesson to learn and now Namastey London...a complete family entertainer! Namastey London has everything to offer. Drama, Romance, Comedy and great music...this movie has got it all. Where to start, great direction,great acting by Akshay, Katrina and Upen, Great Cinematography, great locations and great music. Katrina's effort to sound truly indian clearly shows which adds to her great acting ability in this film as you see that Katrina is playing the role of a female londoner. Akshay works phenomenally well as always and Upen leaves you wanting more simply because of his good acting, slick looks and suave style. The only thing which this movie lacks is the variety of lyrics in the songs as the same word "Veeraniyan" is repeated about 24-26 times in the film,but no doubt the music is excellent. And although we have great actors on screen such as Akshay, there is not much to see on the cinema screen as both Katrina and Upen have a long journey ahead of them yet. To sum up Namastey London...GREAT FILM! But there is a mild lack of face-value which won't make the financial success of the film particularly high.
What I liked about the movie:
Almost everything
What I didn't like about the movie:
lack of face-value
Would you recommend this movie to your friend: Yes
