Review: Salaam-E-Ishq
Salaam-E-Ishq is an Indian movie based on a similar principal as Crash showing the connections between various strangers. This movie, like most Indian movies is heavily based on love. Salaam-E-Ishq is examines love through six stories, six couples and their views on relationships and love. I won’t go into details about each story, but each couple looks at love in a different way, and deal with relationships in a different manner.
The pairings of the couples work well. Overall, it is a good movie; parts of it are drawn out too long, resulting in a three and half hour movie. Some parts could have easily been cut and replaced with something that brings the stories together more. While at the end, the stories do merge, it could have been done better. The songs are excellent, and work great with the pace and the story of the movie. In the end, watch this movie if you have plenty of free time, but it is nothing amazing.
