Marigold: An Adventure in India

I don't know what was going through willard caroll's mind when he wrote the script  though he takes a dig at the kind of cinema made in india but the stuff that he has come up with is ridiculous. Now there is not even a trace of a plot here. If anything it is about the usual song and dance routine which the west loathes in our films and a sort of love trianglr or quadrangle for that matter developing. Nothing new,  everything about the movie gives a feel of stale news. Only the heroine changes here we have a hollywood actress trying her hand at indian movies.

Even an attempt to say something about the plotwould be a waste of words since there is nothing to write. A hollywood actress lands up in India in search of a role and no sooner than she lands she realizes that she is in touble. The movie which she was going to be part of is shelved as it's producers are jailed. She soon happens to met sallu miyan who incidentally is a choreogarpher and even befroe you can blink he falls in love head over heels with the firang babe. And then there is also the blue blood thing with  him, happens to be a prince, a rebellion against his father and what not.

Guess there were too many things in the director's mind or maybe his understanding of indian cinema is poor. He has taken the audiences granted, without even having the slightest of idea of how scathing the audience can be with their response.

As far as acting goes ther is not much to write about sallu  as usual is average stuff. Sometimes it makes me wonder whee is the salman of andaz apna apna or maine pyar kiya or for that matter hum aapke hain kaun. He is a good actor who should maybe careful wih the directors and the scripts he takes up. There is not too much to wrie about Ali Larter, she is just about average.

Music is not good. Cinematogarphy is good . If you have time to kill even then it wouldn't be a good idea to go for it. Have a look at your own risk.
