Love Bytes: Salaam Namaste is a quirky take on life, love and relationships

Falling in Love is easy; Getting out of it is easier. What’s difficult is being in Love.

This is the theme of Siddharth Raj Anand’s (nephew of Tinnu Anand who assisted Kunal Kohli for Hum Tum) Salaam Namaste.

Nick (Saif Ali Khan) and Ambar (Preity Zinta) live down under in the city of Melbourne. He’s a chef; she’s a Radio Jockey. They’re young, they’re cool, they’re independent - and together they make the best pair!

Or do they?

Surrounded by quirky friends, bosses and landlords but far away from home, Nick and Ambar take a huge leap of faith as they decide to move in together. And now they must tiptoe towards getting to know each other!

They are attracted to each other - but they fight. They live together, but as friends, in different rooms. They’re in a relationship but then again they’re not. They seem to want the same things, but it seems that they have very little in common.

So are they really made for each other?
Are they actually compatible?
Is this whole thing worth it?

After all, if a relationship is what happens when you’re busy not thinking about it - then what does it mean when everything has to be such a decision?

Salaam Namaste gives us a quirky take on life, love and relationships as it looks at a fairy tale with a bit of a squint. Full of color, humor and zest it is an endearing look at what being in love really means!
