It's fair to say that the Melbourne setting--along with Khan and Zinta--makes the movie. Otherwise, it mainly feels like Bollywood business as usual.

Synopsis: Falling in Love. It's very easy to do. Being in love – now that's the tough part! Join us as we say "Salaam Namaste" to Nick (Saif Ali Khan) and Ambar (Preity Zinta) down under in the city of... Falling in Love. It's very easy to do. Being in love – now that's the tough part! Join us as we say "Salaam Namaste" to Nick (Saif Ali Khan) and Ambar (Preity Zinta) down under in the city of Melbourne. He's a Chef; she's a Radio Jockey. They're young, they're cool, they're independent – and together they make the BEST pair! Or do they? Surrounded by quirky friends, bosses and landlords but far away from home, Nick and Ambar take a huge leap of faith as they decide to move in together. And now they must tiptoe towards getting to know each other! They are attracted to each other – but they fight. They live together, but as friends, in different rooms. They're in a relationship… but then again they're not. They seem to want the same things, but it seems that they have very little in common. So are they really made for each other? Are they actually compatible? Is this whole thing worth it? After all, if a relationship is what happens when you're busy not thinking about it – then what does it mean when everything has to be such a "decision"? Salaam Namaste gives us a quirky take on life, love and relationships as it looks at a fairy tale with a bit of a squint. Full of color, humor and zest it is an endearing look at what being in love really means!!! [More]

Reviews for Salaam Namaste
The most unmissable event since Jackie Chan visited: three hours of synchronised dance numbers, farce, melodrama and Bollywood around our most photogenic tourist landmarks.
A watchable, but conventional, romantic comedy about negotiating domestic peace agreements in the shadow of an unexpected pregnancy.
