The first big release of the year, Abhishek Bachchan starrer Guru, is doing pretty well at the Box Office. Now it is the turn for the second, and probably an even bigger, release of 2007; Salaam-E-Ishq.
The film has hit theatres all over the world, and if you have seen it, then we would like your reviews.
What did you make of it?
Is it as good as expected?
Or is it a huge letdown?

i have just returned after watching the evening show……The movie is good….
Goinda, akshay and Anil were the best in terms of performance and john-vidhya track was the best..
The lenght of the movie is long but not even once you will move in your seat
Great movie…dont listen to the critics
Great movie. Funny. If you’re a Salman Khan fan you won’t be disappointed. Love the songs. The choreography was excellent. I would highly recommend this movie. Its different, Its entertaining and its worth the price of the movie ticket. I agree with Abay, don’t listen to the critics.
Enjoy….
Wow, great movie! Superb performance by Akshaye Khanna! Akshaye Khanna steals the show in Salaam-e-Ishq! Don’t listen to the critic! Salaam-e-Ishq is commendable and worthy to watch! Akshaye Khanna won’t disappoint you! Akshaye Khanna has given outstanding performance!
Akshaye Khanna steals the show in Salaam-e-Ishq!Akshaye Khanna is in full form and has given a terrific performance! Salaam-e-Ishq is a great movie only because of Akshaye Khanna’s superb acting and superlative performance! So, don’t listen to that damn critic… Go and watch Salaam-e-Ishq, you’ll be surprised by Akshaye Khanna’s mindblowing and outstanding performance! Akshaye Khanna steals the show and rocks too as Shiven! Akshaye Khanna is the winner in this movie! And, you will be stunned if you watch Akshaye Khanna’s wonderful, fabulous and superb acting! Akshaye Khanna has proved that he is the best and that he can excel as a great performer!
Wow, wonderful, great, commendable and superb performance by Akshaye Khanna in Salaam-e-Ishq! Akshaye Khanna excels and rocks as ‘Shiven’ a playboy! A mindblowing, fabulous, outstanding and terrific acting by Akshaye Khanna only! Govinda, Anil Kapoor, John Abraham, Salman Khan & Sohail Khan disappoint! They hardly know the meaning of acting and expression delivering! They are are just dependable in the movie! They are supported through the dialogue delivery! But, Akshaye Khanna excels both in onscreen presence, acting, expression delivery and dialogue delivery! Govinda has a boring look, but is suitable as a taxi-driver! Anil Kapoor is quite good as usual! John Abraham looks dull and he really needs to learn acting from Akshaye Khanna! Salman Khan looks handsome and best dressed but has nothing to deliver! There is nothing to speak about Sohail Khan! Only Akshaye Khanna steal the show in Salaam-e-Ishq! Akshaye Khanna is wonderful, fabulous, mindblowing, mindblasting, believable, unbelievable, interesting, genuine, creditable, outstanding/exceptional, superlative, terrific and superb as ‘Shiven’! No other actors can do the role of Akshaye Khanna as ‘Shiven’! Not even Saif Ali Khan who wanted to do Akshaye Khanna’s role! Among the female leads, Juhi Chawla(creditable), Vidya Balan(wonderful), Shanon Esra(pleasant surprise) and Ayesha Takia(good as usual). They are worth to watch! Priyanka Chopra disappoints, Anjana Sukhani is not so good and Isha Koppikar has very little to perform! Among the 12 stars, only Akshaye Khanna shines, excels, rocks and is the winner! No two opinion about that! Akshaye is not only among the best but he is really the best actor! He knows how to deliver a praiseworthy performance! Akshaye Khanna deserves to get awards for the special performance, best performer of the year, best actor in a supporting role, best actor in a comic role and best leading artist! Akshaye Khanna’s acting is praise-worthy and exceptional! Akshaye Khanna’s role is the most worth to watch among the 12 stars’ role! Don’t miss to watch Salaam-e-Ishq! It is not as bad as Taran Adarsh and other critic think! In fact, Salaam-e-Ishq is interesting and worth to watch! It is a recommendable film because of the Vidya-John’s track along with Akshaye Khanna’s scenes and Akshaye Khanna’s outstanding performance! Go and watch Salaam-e-Ishq if you want to know who steals the show! And, I have already said that Akshaye Khanna is the scene-stealer! I can repeat that Akshaye Khanna is the winner and the best in Salaam-e-Ishq!
Yeah, Akshaye Khanna steals the show in Salaam-e-Ishq! Praise-worthy and exceptional performance by Akshaye Khanna! Akshaye Khanna deserves to get awards as best actor in a supporting role, best actor in a comic role and special jury award for best performance! Akshaye Khanna is outstanding, mindblowing, fabulous and superb! Akshaye Khanna has the best role in Salaam-e-Ishq! And, the way he portrays the character as ‘Shiven’ is wonderful, commendable and superb! Only Akshaye Khanna rocks in Salaam-e-Ishq!
Salaam-e-Ishq is a commendable film! Yeah, don’t listen to others and critics! I must say that I want to watch this movie again at cinema! What if the movie is long… But, I really enjoyed this film because of Akshaye Khanna’s onscreen presence and performance! The film should be screened for four hours full not three and half hours! Now, I hope that Nikhil Advani sell this four or five hours full film on subtitled DVD! What Akshaye Khanna does in this movie is something stunning. You don’t even need dialogue or a scene for him – he just trickles you with his expression – Excellent, exceptional and superb performance of Akshaye Khanna! Akshaye Khanna is the scene stealer in Salaam-e-Ishq! Akshaye Khanna must be voted as the best comedian and the best actor in a supporting role! Akshaye Khanna’s scene with John-Vidya is well executed! In fact, each full scene of Akshaye Khanna (introduction, mid-middle, middle, mid-last and last scenes…each and each scene) was interesting and worth to watch! I may get bored watching the scenes of Anil, Salman, John, & Govinda! But, not the scenes of Akshaye Khanna! Akshaye Khanna’s acting is really funny, terrific and superb! Akshaye Khanna’s expression is great, wonderful, outstanding and mindblowing! Akshaye Khanna’s pair with Ayesha was necessary in Salaam-e-Ishq! Ayesha and Akshaye make a cute pair! They really suit each other! Now, I wish that Akshaye Khanna does more films with Ayesha Takia but of different genres! Yeah, I also want that Akshaye Khanna acts with Vidya Balan - but don’t forget Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Amrita Rao, and also Kajol! Yes, Kajol too!
What if Salaam-e-Ishq is long?! It is necessary to be long as it has six different stories! It is beautiful, interesting, outstanding and commendable film! Nikhil Advani does a great and wonderful job! In term of performance, I like the character of ‘Shiven’ and the stunning acting of Akshaye Khanna! Akshaye Khanna is really a superb and outstanding comedian! His expression is wonderful, perfect and mindblowing! After Akshaye Khanna, I like Shanon Esra - she is the best after Akshaye! So, I would say that the surprise package and the scene-stealers are Akshaye Khanna and Shanon Esra! Other stars’s acting sound common and repetitive! Thus, Akshaye Khanna and Shanon Esra shine, rock and they are saving grace of the movie! They are the winner! The role and the acting of Akshaye Khanna & Shanon Esra are praise-worthy and exceptional! But, between Akshaye and Shanon, I would definitely say that Akshaye Khanna is better than Shanon and the best of all! I really like each scene of Akshaye Khanna! Akshaye Khanna can win the best supporting actor and the best comedian! In terms of acting and performance, Akshaye Khanna wins against other stars in Salaam-e-Ishq! Thanks to Nikhil Advani who gives the role to Akshaye Khanna! I must tell you that Akshaye Khanna is a great actor he does everything perfectly! Hope to watch more films of Akshaye Khanna!
Salaam-e-Ishq is a long movie, but I don’t mind to watch it for 6 hours full! Do you think that ‘Main Hoon Naa’, “Swades’, ‘Lagaan’, & Laho Rage Munna Bhai’ are better than Salaam-e-Ishq? Hey, don’t think stupidly! Don’t listen to the critics! They don’t seem that they are fully cinema-literated! Akshaye is fantastically funny in his role as the commitment-phobic bachelor (his attempts to remain a bachelor had the audience laughing out loud). Akshaye’s performance was one of the best we have ever seen from him. He fell naturally into the the soul of the character and his expressions in happy scenes and sad were completely unique. Akshaye Khanna’s hillarious expressions throughout the movie was mindblasting! Finally coming to the real star of the film- Akshaye Khanna. He has given one of his most accomplished performances ever. His role was such, that he could have easily tread towards the much dreaded path of over-acting. But he performs his role with such elan that after a long time a performance wants you to clap in the Theatre auditorium. AKSHAYE KHANNA was terrific as a confused lover. AKSHAYE simply rocked..his potrayal as the commitment phobic guy is so energetic and hilarious, it really perks up the movie to a good extent. The best scenes from this track would be the one with Akshaye’s imagination and the climax mandap scene..also the lunch scene when Akshaye tries to break off his marriage is hilarious. His onscreen presence, acting and performance are exceptional and brillant! Akshaye Khanna will win the best supporting actor and best comedian awards! Akshaye Khanna is fantasting in Salaam-e-Ishq! Only Akshaye Khanna steals the show in Salaam-e-Ishq! Akshaye is the scene-stealer of the movie!
Akshaye Khanna is the real star in Salaam-e-Ishq! Akshaye steals the show and is the best in this movie! No one could have done better acting than Akshaye Khanna! Not, even Saif Ali Khan! Akshaye Khanna has proved that he is the best in Bollywood! Akshaye Khanna’s performance was exceptional/outstanding, mindblowing, fantastic, wonderful, brilliant and superb! Akshaye Khanna is the winner as the best artist and as the best comedian! I have watched Salaam-e-Ishq thrice with my friends and relatives only to watch Akshaye Khanna in theatres! I’m going to watch again at least twice only for Akshaye Khanna! Nikhil Advani has directed Akshaye Khanna superbly and in a remarkable way! Now, I’m looking forward to watch Akshaye’s forthcoming films: Naqaab, Race, Gandhi-My Father & Aaja Naachley! I wonder when these movie will be released! It would be better that these movies release this year only (2007)! Why don’t the IndiaFM and other website show the first look of Gandhi, My Father and Naquaab which have already completed! I’m drying to watch Akshaye Khanna’s performance and acting in his forthcoming movies including Gandhi, My Father & Naqaab! Akshaye Khanna’s onscreen presence is worth to watch! Akshaye Khanna will definitely steal the show in his forthcoming films! Mark my words, Akshaye Khanna will be most applauded and will be the winner! Akshaye Khanna is the best actor and best artist of today! Now, it’s time for Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, Mani Ratnam, Ramgopal Varma, Mahesh Bhatt, Kunal Kholi, Mohit Suri, Vickram Bhatt & among others need to recognize Akshaye Khanna’s talents, versality, ability and style of acting before it’s too late! You must not ignore Akshaye Khanna and his potential! You must not deny the fact that Akshaye Khanna is the best and better than Amir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan & among others in terms of acting, performance, dialogue delivery and expression delivery! Akshaye Khanna is the best!
What happens when an engineering student chooses a topic worth 2 PHd. dissertations for his engineering project ? The result resembles the product being reviewd - salam -e- ishq. Director Nikhil Advani’s much hyped attempt is no doubt inspired by the 2003 Richard Curtis directed ‘Love Actually’ but while that film made numerous records, Salam-e-ishq isnt even worth watching.
The editing in particular is too horrible, even by bollywood standards. But then again, the editor had to shorten a torturously long film otherwise the length would exceed well over 4 hours. The first half however is pretty watchable, thanks to some excellent screen play. But again the director jus about concludes the task of introduction to the 6 couples. In the latter half however your bound to lose track of how and when things go wrong. Towards the end however, all the drama does get you thinking ‘damn what time is it? I’m not sure if I can take this for much longer’
Not a flick for someone whose getting used to the quality of bollywood lately.
But its obvious the Indian cinema goes is gon love this film judging from the reviews above. Like Curtis said for Love Actually In response to critics, Curtis said at the premiere, “I’d rather make a film that most of the audience liked and some critics didn’t, than a film that critics loved and nobody wanted to watch.”
However for people like me who appreciate a flick like ‘Ek Haseena Thi’ or ‘Karam’ over the more hyped ones like ‘Kabhi Alwida Na Kehna’ , don’t even think about watching this one you won’t last 3 hours. I didn’t !
Salaam-e-Ishq is worth to watch! The best thing about this movie is Akshaye Khanna! You must glue your eyes while watching this film if you are literated so that you can understand what Nikhil Advani is trying to show! It’s like you are studying books at schools, colleges or universities in order to pass your exams! So, when you are trying to understand what you are studying so that you can answer the given questions in the exam’s hall! In the same way, you all must try to understand what Salaam-e-Ishq is all about! Believe me, Salaam-e-ishq may not be the best film of the year, but it is better than Guru (featuring Abhishek Bachchan)! Guru is a boring movie not Salaam-e-Ishq! The best thing about Guru is Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Mani Ratnam! And nothing else! But, the best thing about Salaam-e-Ishq is Akshaye Khanna, Nikhil Advani, music, singers, scenes executions, presentation format and direction! And, there is much more! Thus, Salaam-e-Ishq has almost everything to be appreciated! If, Guru is ‘Hit’, then it is only because of Amitabh Bachchan who kept yelling loudly about Abhishek Bachchan’s performance! This makes the people believe that what Amitabh is saying about Abhishek is true! And, that Bachchan senior is never wrong! Let me tell you all that Abhishek Bachchan is not that great as people think! Even Tamil actors like Ajit, Vijay, Madhavan, Arjun, & Vickram can do better than Abhishek! The story of Guru seems like Tamil movies! Guru is a great movie which belongs to Tamil movies category! Guru does not suit Bollywood! But, Salaam-e-Ishq has everything that suits Bollywood! What if the movie is long? It is not a boring movie! After all, it has six different stories! In fact, this movie should be screened for full six hours long intead of 3.5 hours as it has six stories!
Akshaye Khanna has made me his craziest fan with his role as ‘Shiven’, performance and acting in Salaam-e-Ishq! Akshaye Khanna is a mindblowing actor! An outstanding and gifted performer! Also, Akshaye Khanna is a superb comedian! Now, I can’t wait for his next movies like Gandhi, My Father, Naqaab, Aaja Naachley and Race. Akshaye Khanna is the best actor and talent in the industry! Akshaye Khanna is better than Shah Rukh Khan, Amir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, Ajay Devgan & Akshay Kumar in term of acting and performance! Akshaye Khanna’s facial expression is brilliant! Akshaye Khanna is an excellent in acting! I Love You, Akshaye Khanna! You are my Valentine Lover! Akshaye Khanna is very cute! I Love Akshaye Khanna like a craziest girl!
Akshaye Khanna proves that he is outstanding and superb as the best comedian in Salaam-e-Ishq! Hats off to Akshaye Khanna’s superb acting, mindblowing expression delivery, outstanding performance and fantastic comedy! Akshaye Khanna rocks as ‘Shiven’! Akshaye steals the show in Salaam-e-Ishq! Akshaye Khanna deserves to win the best comedian and the best supporting actor awards! Akshaye Khanna is the best actor of Indian Cinema! Akshaye Khanna is the master and the king of amazing comic timing! No one can do what Akshaye Khanna does onscreen!
I heard that Saif Ali Khan could do better than Akshaye Khanna for the role ‘Shiven’ in Salaam-e-Ishq! How stupid?! Let me tell you, Akshaye Khanna is better than Saif Ali Khan in terms of acting, facial expression delivery, and performance delivery! Akshaye Khanna is more natural and gifted performer than Saif Ali Khan! The role of Akshaye Khanna ‘Shiven’ belongs to Akshaye Khanna only not Saif Ali Khan! Akshaye Khanna’s acting and performance in Salaam-e-Ishq is better than Saif Ali Khan’s acting and performance in Dil Chahta Hai and Hum Tum! Akshaye Khanna proves that he is really commendable in comic role and that not only Saif Ali Khan can do it! Akshaye Khanna is really fabulous, fantasting, superb, outstanding & excellent comedian in Salaam-e-Ishq! Akshaye Khanna’s comic timing is always amazing, applauded and commendable in Hungama, Hulchul, Shaadi Se Pehle & Aap Ki Khatir! But, Akshaye Khanna’s comic role as ‘Shiven’ in Salaam-e-Ishq is the best! Hope, Akshaye Khanna gets the best actor in a comic role awards in Salaam-e-Ishq next year! Akshaye Khanna also deserves to get the best actor in a supporting role awards for the same film/role (Salaam-e-Ishq/’Shiven’)! Akshaye Khanna’s performance & acting is really mindblowing, commendable, outstanding, fantastic, brilliant and superb! And yes, Akshaye Khanna is better than Saif Ali Khan (Dil Chahta Hai/Hum Tum) in Salaam-e-Ishq! So, hats off to Nikhil Advani who directs Akshaye Khanna interestingly! Nikhil Advani directed Saif Ali Khan in Kal Ho Naa Ho! Still, I prefer Akshaye Khanna in his second movie Salaam-e-Ishq! Before the release of Salaam-e-Ishq, I was a great fan of Saif Ali Khan as a great actor! However, Akshaye Khanna has made me crazy about his acting, role and performance in Salaam-e-Ishq! I have now become a huge fan of Akshaye Khanna! I can’t believe that Akshaye Khanna is really the master of acting, and facial expression delivery! Akshaye Khanna is the best of the best! Now, I am looking forward to watch his next movies this year! Hope, Akshaye Khanna excels once again not only in comic role but also in serious, light and other different roles! I have no doubt that Akshaye Khanna will rock again and again this year!
Akshaye Khanna looks sexy in bald look! Akshaye Khanna must do movies as villain with this bald look! He’ll look ‘wow’ and sexy, smart! I adore Akshaye Khanna in Salaam-e-Ishq! Hey Guys, Akshaye Khanna is really fantastic, mindblowing, amazing, wonderful, great, ‘wow’, superb and outstanding as ‘Shiven’ in Salaam-e-Ishq! Akshaye Khanna’s role (Shiven), acting, performance, comic timing and facial expression have made me fall in Love with Akshaye Khanna! Akshaye Khanna’s onscreen presence in Salaam-e-Ishq made crazy! I’m now so fond of Akshaye Khanna that I have forgotten the role and performance of Saif Ali Khan in Omkara! Akshaye Khanna is now my new best/favourite actor! Now, I’m a huge fan of Akshaye Khanna not Saif Ali Khan! I can see that Akshaye Khanna is now better actor than Saif Ali Khan! All the Best & Good Luck to my darling Akshaye Khanna!
Excellent performance by Akshaye Khanna! This young man is just amazing as ‘Shiven’! Akshaye truly deserves to get best comedian awards in Salaam-e-ishq! Best supporting actor awards too! Akshaye Khanna - is a Fantasting Actor! Nikhil Advani has done a very good job by casting Akshaye Khanna instead of Saif Ali Khan for the role ‘Shiven’! Saif would not do his full justice for the role! This role belongs only to Akshaye Khanna! After all, Akshaye is more intelligent than Saif! Akshaye Khanna is the BEST and Better than Saif Ali Khan! I have even forgotten the role and performance of Saif Ali Khan in Omkara even after voting him as Best Villain for the Filmfare Award this year! Because, now I have become so fond of Akshaye Khanna after watching his role, acting and performance in Salaam-e-Ishq that I feel Akshaye Khanna is better than Saif Ali Khan in term of pure acting, facial expression, performance, onscreen presence. Unfortunately, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Aditya Chopra, Mani Ratnam, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Karan Johar are blind, deaf and mute that they just don’t cast Akshaye Khanna in their (next) movies! Akshaye Khanna is really very intelligent and smart actor! He knows how to excel onscreen! Hope, Aditya Chopra cast Akshaye Khanna (to replace Amir Khan) and Shah Rukh Khan for Dhoom 3! This chemistry (Shah Rukh Khan & Akshaye Khanna) would be better because I’m fed up with this pair - Shah Rukh Khan & Saif Ali Khan! They are already seen in Kal Ho Naa Ho! Do you remember the dashing performance and look of Akshaye Khanna as a cop in 36, China Town?! Akshaye Khanna looks smart as a cop! So, Akshaye Khanna would be suitable the role of a cop and villain too in Dhoom 3! Actually, I have no word for his Mind Blowing Performance. In fact, Akshaye Khanna’s presence onscreen is sufficient to Dominate anyone either it is Amir Khan or Shahrukh Khan! I would like to say that there are very few actors who have both talents and good looks and Akshaye Khanna is the one. I have seen very very few actors who have super talents and good looks and Akshaye Khanna has both of them. Everytime I see his movies(doesn’t matter wheather they are hits or flops ), he surprises me with his intense/superb performances. He is the best of best actor we have around. I just hope that we will be able to see more movies from this super talented actor. He might not be that hit like Saif Ali Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan or Shah Rukh Khan but trust me he is far more talented than these actors. He just need a big banner’s break.
