Salaam Namaste must set some sort of record for genre pileup. Go to Full Review Ethan Alter Film Journal International 10/06/2005
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. Go to Full Review Raam Tarat Future Movies UK 09/24/2005
3.5/5

Has its moments but not enough to be called a good film. See more 05/02/2020 Saif Ali Khan on top form again See more yash b @yashbansal 07/14/2017 This is a nice little movie that I saw a long time ago. I remember it being pretty funny and pretty different at the time. There were some moments that dragged but overall it was a good romantic comedy. I probably need to re watch it at some point to refresh my memory any more. See more Read all reviews
