Un padre per mio figlio

This is a really classy Bollywood production, with great cast, well developed characters, superb direction and some nice scenery.

Although I generally find Bollywood films a bit boring - well the musical, sing-songy ones anyway - this one really hit the mark for me.

It was really entertaining and I have trouble getting the main song out of my head!

The plot is quite simple and you know where it's going right from the start, but that is the only negative I could find in it.

Otherwise very entertaining fare, and I'd recommend it particularly for anyone that's new to Bollywood.

I've read bad reviews, but I don't agree. I found the whole film entirely enjoyable. Being used to 90 minute films I was worried about the length of Bollywood films, yet I didn't hardly notice the time.

The film captured my attention, partly due to Ash Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, both were captivating and carried the story. I even have the songs in my head still...and that only happens occasionally.

I don't know much about Indian culture but I did enjoy getting to see something un-American, to the point of deciding that maybe I should stick to World Cinema rather than Hollywood.

Personally I will be watching it many more times and encourage anyone who hasn't seen it yet to get a move on!

The movie was very enjoyable.I thought this Koi Mil Gaya and also Kal Ho Naa and also Chalte Chalte were some of the most enjoyable movies that year.I know every time a Sippy family member directs well we wont be excepting a another Sholay or on any other Friday.I thought this movie would have a brand new story because the theme was Love cant be arranged.I did watch this with exceptions.But still the..

The story was simple.As excepted the acting was excellent.Aish proves that she is a beauty with brains.Her confrontation between Araax Khan in the climax is note worthy and will leave a good impression.Abhisek proves that his father was still not only the reason he his getting offers.He has talent all over.The kid is really good through.Others are fine.I liked the Abhi Ash combination here much more than in Guru and Umrao Jaan.Comedy scenes,hilarious dialogs are all terrific

There are 6 songs in this movie but they are a mixed feeling.3 are great(Tumhe Aaj Maine,Aachi,and the title song) but other the 3(ABBG,Kehta Hai,Baat Meri) are weak.Their Picturisations are really good through.The best song being Aachi.oh,i should also the chemistry between the leads are portrayed well.

Its a great movie though,surely,give it a chance

'Kuch Na Kaho' was another of the Bollywood 'marriage' scenarios, however, with a mix of new cultural definition. The portrayal of the much structured Indian marriage customs are challenged by the desires of love felt by two lovable and yet in love characters. Abhishek Bachchan plays 'Raj'. He extends his acting capabilities beyond doubt with his charming and witty schemes, yet develops a believable chemistry with the extremely eye-pleasing Aishwarya Rai(Namrata). She also plays a wonderful role to which her acting is very suited too, she too with a delightful and somewhat cheeky charm. The movie displays a rich array of colors; music is fantastic and gives the slightly predictable storyline a dazzling backing. This movie is a very funny yet real interpretation of what arranged marriages can be like in today's society...I speak from experience!!

When you watch a film like Kuch Naa Kaho, you are reminded that when it comes to cowardice, Bollywood artists are pretty much on the top. They have the business acumen and the creative ability to make films which are pleasing to the discerning viewer as well as the cash registers. But they lack the conviction to go with what their gut says. They lack the conviction to make cinema. But somewhere along the way, they have developed enough technical skills to make glossy 3-hour commercials with intermittent jingles.

They will spend so much of their energy on scouting locations, hiring casting coups, marketing the film to the distributors, selling music rights, selling television rights, recording the 7-8 jingles (mostly it is their length that qualifies them as songs), color-coordinating the costumes and production designs, creating hoardings and posters and teasers... but the script and the characters are of no importance. You can make films to please the box-office that don't completely massacre your intelligence as well and still have the final product (that's what they seem to call it, because they don't make films anymore ) be intrinsically Bollywoodish.

Aishwariya Rai is a living example of the depth of human-like behaviour expected from "Bollywood heroines". She has flawless complexion, dancing skills and color coordination skills. And just like your pet dog, she can smile, cry, be silent and get all cutesy, on cue. But when it comes to character portrayal, she wouldn't know where to begin because neither her nor the script are interested in it.

According to the Bollywood Bible, God created man, and then he recreated a better version and then another and another till he perfected man. And then, since God was not the only perfect entity (man joining him in that elite club) anymore, they both got together and created woman. Man gave the design specifications and God having the technical knowhow, adhered to them - Man argued that he would have to live with the women so he should have his way. Abhishek Bachan's character in the movie is one such man. He just can't do no wrong - and also he can right all the wrongs done by Ash's character. Abhishek Bachan is an actor with tremendous potential - which is evident even from the limited scope his films have given him to perform, so far. But either he doesn't want to choose better scripts or perhaps they are not coming his way yet. Hopefully we will see him show us what he is capable of before his streak of commercial duds sinks him into oblivion.

Rohan Sippy, son of Ramesh Sippy, has inherited the father's name but not his knack for filmmaking. But then Sippy Sr. had Salim-Javed as writers. Hopefully in future he will have the at least the guts to do something more refreshing and entertaining.

Oh by the way, script seems to have been created on the sets which Sharmishtha Roy picked up on her way to the shoot from one of the Chopra or Johar films. The cinematography has been taken from a template derived from the DDLJ, KKHH and KKKG stable. And the talented composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have given their worst soundtrack to date I believe. Well at least it blends in with the rest of the dismal elements of the film.

If want to watch a romantic comedy, watch Chupke Se instead. 4/10.
