Salaam Namaste has been mostly shot ‘Down Under' and there are a lot of visuals of picturesque beaches.
And you get to see a semi-clad Saif Ali Khan shaking a leg with Preity Zinta accompanied by 60 odd dancers in swimsuits with the backdrop of Rye Beach, Melbourne—a place said to be a favourite haunt of Preity Zinta.
This is the very locale where the pretty Preity had shot for Abbas-Mastan's Soldier and Farhan Akhtar's Dil Chahta Hai.
The music is post-modern and appeals to the young at mind. Come September, the month movie is set to hit the halls, Vishal-Shekhar combine is all set to rock you once again.
The listener would find ebullient rendering of the first duet by Kunal Ganjawala and Vasundhra Raj soothing to the heart and soul. The track has a dhol mix (by Nikhil Chinnappa and Naved) version too.
In at least three numbers, the listener would experience the de javu of ‘Hum tum'. "My Dil goes mmm' features thrice in the film.
The pop number ‘What's goin's urban appeal is sure to be murmured by the young in the coming fall season. The pairing of Ganjawala and Sunidhi Chauhan scores on all counts for lending an air of charm and wittiness and a youthful flavour to otherwise simple lyrics.
Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan personate the art of love in ‘Tu Jahaan'. The love duet is simple; yet, it carries the old world emotiveness that is surely going to be enjoyed by one and all.
Spirited, fresh, young and trendy, Salaam Namaste directed by Siddharth Raj Anand, is surely going to be the flavour of the festive and wedding season this year.
