It seems the only thing worse than a faulty culture shock comedy with zero charm is a faulty culture shock comedy with zero charm starring Ali Larter.

Bollywood fans will dismiss the mishmash as the work of an American director 'slumming' in a genre outside his own culture, and Western audiences unfamiliar with Hindi-language masala movies will find the whole thing puzzling.

It's all dizzying, but what a delight.
08/21/07
Salman Khan is one of the big names in Bollywood whose appeal continually eludes, and here he simply proves that he is just as much a bafflement in English as he is in Hindi.

Top CriticThis first co-production between the United States and India starts badly and never recovers.

a colorful charmer that might even persuade a few skeptics to check out the real thing.

[Director] Carroll knows his Bollywood stuff and, refreshingly, doesn’t apologize for, or waste time explaining, an industry and a style that most Americans still regard as silly. Instead, he honors them.

Top CriticRest assured, contrived love will prevail.

Carroll seems to be saying that we should regard Bollywood as a harmless part of Indian culture.

Ali Larter plays an amazingly bitchy actress sent to Bollywood. They hate her, then they love her. I didn't quite get the love bit.
08/17/07
Bollywood cheerfully meets – not Hollywood, exactly, more straight-to-video.
08/17/07
Goofy and sweet.

Top CriticIt’s colourful and pacy and the musical interludes are fun. But, on the whole, Marigold is predictable to the end.

Top CriticAs Prem's dad says of his son's feature film career, "I know nothing about dancing and the plots seem ludicrous to me."
08/17/07
Despite boasting bags of colour, energy and top Bollywood actor Salman Khan, this cross cultural concoction falls halfway between the genres.
08/17/07
A sari attempt to hybridise Hollywood and Bollywood.

Top CriticThis fluffy cross-cultural experiment smacks of jumping on the Bollywood bandwagon with little insight into the genre it is trying to emulate or understanding of the country in which it’s set.
