Salaam/Namaste (Hindi 2005)
With Preity Zinta and Saif Ali Khan, Salaam/Namaste is a movie about two people who initially despise one another and trade barbed comments. Ambar (Preity Zinta) is a medical intern who pays her way through school by working as a radio talk show host on station 101.5 Salaam/Namaste. Nick (Saif Ali Khan) is scheduled to be interviewed as a guest on her talk show one morning; however, he is late, as always, and does not make the show. Ambar proceeds to assassinate his character on air and in the process trashes the restaurant where he works as head chef. This causes a series of problems and Nick calls her on air and threatens to sue the station. Later, at a wedding, the two meet without knowing each other's identity, and fall in love. Identities are revealed, Nick apologizes and having fallen in love, invites Ambar to move in with him so that they can get to know one another better. Ambar eventually agrees and the rest of the movie traces their relationship for the next year. The music and dance is catchy, the two have good chemistry together, and there are some amusing moments. Basically a relationship movie, it's good for easy entertainment. The delivery scene at the end is way over the top, almost offensive...
