Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
long-ford A sex comedy from Yashraj Studios! This film flopped at the box office but it's watchable. The jokes are juvenile and sex-obsessed, probably ideal for naughty fourteen year olds. Uday Chopra is alright but sometimes annoys. Tanisha gets to strut her stuff but is an average actress. There are plenty of hot bodies and eye candy for both sexes. There's a specially sexy number "Halla Re" that may get you moving. This film probably isn't worth a visit to the theater but it's perfectly watchable at home as long as you are comfortable with sex jokes and innuendo.Overall 5/10
ahmads611 First & foremost this movie is not for females. Sorry women, go indulge urselves in something like Chalte Chalte.This movie works on so many levels. First, the skin show is spectacular, every girl in this movie is absolutely stunning, esp Ms. Tanisha who has body for days and the cutest facial expressions.The acting in this movie should be taken for what it is supposed to be, dorky, stupid and fun. And for that Uday Chopra carries this movie so that you couldn't imagine anyone else being able to play this role.The Story works well, nothing is expected, up until the very end.The songs are very catchy and will have you wanting to buy the CD. Normally English/Hindi songs sound very hackneyed and chopped together, but the songs flow well and are very refreshing.Perhaps one of the best movies i have ever seen, not met a girl who wasn't jealous of it nor a guy who didn't love it.
espiritlibre This movie takes place in Beautiful British Columbia in the city of Vancouver. Vancouver is ranked the third best city to live in the world. This movie captures not only Vancouver, Oliver and my favorite city Victoria. The title song takes place in Victoria...I love that song. There is a scene at the Camosun College (I went there, the best two years of my life) I believe not to mention Bastion Square and Victoria's scenic inner harbor. I hope more people decide to holiday in British Columbia. Vancouver is a wonderful diverse city. That is why I am proud to be Canadian and very lucky to be surrounded in a multicultural environment. The world comes to Vancouver there is no need to search for anything. Neal and Nikki was a cool and hip movie. A friend commented on how Nikki looks Italian. Also many of my friends saw the actual shooting. The actress who played the lawyer actually talked to a friend of mine. Blenz is another popular coffee chain besides the obvious Starbucks. I just got back from the VPL (Vancouver Public Library) where that particular coffee shop is...and I read a back issue of Filmfare (march 2006 and I read a bad review of this movie). That is what prompted me to write this!!! In defense of Neal AND Nikki. Many points to make...First of all like every Hindi movie has stereotypes and this one is no exception but there were a lot of truths in this movie. One general is that all girls liked to be serenaded too, that takes a lot of guts. Another truth is that people deal with breakups in different ways...Nikki's was drinking while the Lawyer had relationships on her own terms. This is Canada and you have a choice. The most general truth is the Punjabi stereotype of Nikki and her cousin. The last song with all three of them was nice, it was so funny when Neal tells Nikki he is going to make her dance at his wedding. They were both so stubborn. As far as exposure all actresses have been exposing, normally people do not walk around here with their navel exposed even in the summer. When non Indians watch some Indian dancing they blush, for me it is common way to dance because I grew up watching Hindi movies and English. I have learned to appreciate foreign films from the friends I have made from different countries who come to Canada for school etc... Nikki looked cute not vulgar. Neal looked hot. Uday has been working out and it shows, it showed in his first movie Mohabbatein. I saw that in theaters in 2000. All the songs in the movie are catchy. The director did an excellent job it is too bad that some people do not appreciate Canada. Vancouver is Hollywood north, I know actors that will be famous one day! Vancouver is always being made into America (as in Pardes). Pardes was shot at UBC, the part where she is giving her speech about "I love my India" At least in this movie Vancouver was given its due credit. The movie was awesome enough said.
Ryan Lanji Neal N Nikki was shot in Vancouver B.C. ( that is not why i'm partial to the film) but it does shows Vancouvers Radiating beauty.The film itself needs to be broken down in order to be appreciated.First of all this film is NOT for the old generation of Bollywood film goers. To translate this into a Hollywood comparisons it would be American Pie meets a love story.Secondly the acting is terrible, but the roles are so unique that i couldn't think of other actors to pull it off. Tanisha and Uday create believable annoying roles, but they slowly by the end of the film find a place in your heart where you can understand where they are in their life. I thought Tanisha was annoying at first, but by the end i realized that i for the first time knew a character not an actress. The reason is I know this is not how Tanisha acts on her day to day routines, she filled the role of a perky 20 year old well.Third, the songs are brilliant. Yeah i agree that the film presented them a bit weakly;however, the songs are amazing. A great fusion of west meets east in i'm in love, Neal n Nikki is the most kiddiest song but is hummed almost immediately after the film is over, ahk ladiya is a fantastic Punjabi song, and halla re has great music. I thoroughly enjoyed the way they parodied old Indian movies in "im in love" thus proving that this movie is for a new generation.So if you can over the taboo dialouge, and cheesy but cute plot line, Neal n Nikki is naughty and nice!!! I loved it, cause of it's character..it was definitely not run of the mill..and thats why i liked it.
