Salaam-E-Ishq (wasted potential ?)

This movie could’ve been something special but alas

https://youtu.be/RQYOIalqP-I

Salman and Priyanka's track was the worst. So much overacting.
Govinda's track was dated, didn't work for the movie.

Anil, Juhi and Anjana's track had the potential, but the way it ended wasn't justified.

John-Vidya and Akshay-Ayesha tracks were better out of the lot. They were relatively engaging.

Sohail-Esha's track was a joke. Still, better than Salman-Priyanka and Govinda.

Music was the best part of the movie, though.

I agree. I liked the concept and actors but individual stories were ridiculous

I liked the Vidya-John track the best. Rest of the movie was meh.

Another film that could have been really good with some changes...

The movie it’s supposed be a remake of (Love Actually) is very entertaining and it’s pretty much an all time classic here...

This is one case where a frame for frame remake (maybe replacing the theme of Christmas with Diwali ?) would have been much better

Salman should’ve taken it more seriously

Huh! I couldn't find any similarity with Love Actually except that both are anthologies with loosely connected protagonists.

John-Vidya gets the most romantic story.Akshay Khanna's commitment phobiac groom and his bride Ayesha Takia who is tired of putting up with his immature behavior has the best story. I wonder why sisters Juhi and Ayesha get such immature men as Anil and Akshay in their lives. Juhi's speech to Anil about setting aside her dreams and adopting his dreams reminds me so much about Ratna Pathak saying the same thing in Thappad. Salman-Priyanka story could have been shortened and they could have found a younger and better actor for Govinda's story. Sohail-Isha arc shouldn't even be in this film.It reminds me of the unnecessary comic side plots from the 60s and 70s.

The music was good ... I liked John-Vidhya track the most followed by Ayesha-Akshay .. rest stories were meh

It actually says on wiki that it was an unofficial remake so that’s where I got it from 🤷🏽‍♀️

But yeah I agree (except for the Juhi/Anil story) none of the others resemble any of the stories in Love Actually.

I actually liked the Raju/Stephanie story though, it was actually fresh and interesting and positive compared to the rest... Salman and PC’s story was boring, Juhi and Anil’s was decent but sad (and copied anyway), John and Vidya’s was actually ok but they had no chemistry, Akshay and Ayesha’s was dull and they had no chemistry either.

The Sohail/Isha one was the worst and the most annoying, it was probably just Sallu’s last minute addition to somehow include his useless bro in the film 😂

Never seen the movie, but really like the music and still listen to it. Yet another disastrous movie with an excellent soundtrack by SEL.
