"If you had a choice, tradition or love, what would you take?"If you have ever seen a Bollywood movie, you'll know they are longer than most movies due to the multiple song and dance routines. Don't get me wrong, I like Bollywood movies and watching a movie with sub-titles is no hardship but I find any movie
over three hours long is a tad too long to be appreciated. Fortunately, this one fits into the "standard" movie length which happens to be a plus in my book.Plot: An American actress, the beautiful and bitchy Marigold (like the flower), played by Ali Larter goes to India to act in a low budget film, only to find herself stranded there when she finds on arrival that the film has been folded due to financial issues. Worse than that, she loses her luggage and is out of money. She befriends an Indian girl Rani who gets her a role in a Bollywood musical which she accepts hoping that she can earn enough money to get back to the States. Whilst there she meets Prem, the suave and handsome choreographer of the film played by Salman Khan, in real life Bad Boy Bollywood mega-super star who teaches her the art of dancing.
