Highly Disappointing

SALAAM-E-ISHQ has one major ace -- its massive star cast, which has translated into tremendous hype. But the deficiencies outweigh everything in this enterprise -- disjointed script, abstract style of narrating the story and excessive length(more)

Stars shine in mediocre film

More is merry. Excess is fun. But the key to it all is balance. Alas, director Nikhil Advani is no juggler. He manages to throw half a dozen balls in the air. But by the end of it, most of them find their way to the floor. (more)

Average

Go watch it because they've already lopped off some 15 minutes of the film, and watch it because it's got good music, a battery of top stars, and moments that will make you laugh and cry. (more)

Too long

For those who like love stories any which way, there are a few tracks to recommend. This one's meant for those who like a load of stars and lots of music and dance, story be damned. (more)

Watch it for Akshaye and Govinda.

Salaam-e-Ishq works only in patches. The film is technically topnotch and its plot keeps flitting from one storyline to another in a free-flowing way. And Advani (the director) blends drama with humour and romance to try to come up with a wholesome entertainer.(more)
