Kuch Naa Kaho (2003)

Kuch Naa Kaho introduced me to the modern Bollywood movie, and I have to say I was very impressed with both the acting and the music. Though it has been perceived by some that Rai's character was too forgiving of her wayward husband in that she was indecisive over whether she should allow him back into her life, in reality the character reacted much as any woman would given the same circumstances. He has merely come back to start the cycle of abuse from where he left off, and she is shell shocked by his sudden reappearance into her life. That she is afraid of him, and the potential violence he may possess, is very clear. It is only when she sees that she has outside support who have and will continue to support her does she finally come to the decision to keep him out of her life for good. Whether he has truly changed or not is still open for debate--He has already burned one karmic bridge with Rai's character, and it is clear that path is not able to be repaired.I think the film dealt with the characters with an emotional depth you don't often see in Hollywood movies, and it did so with a sense of humour and uplifting whimsy. Very much a must-see film!

I am new to the Bollywood film scene. This is my second Bollywood movie that I have greatly enjoyed. The first being Bunty aur Babli. I knew from the get go that the acting would be so so, but still none the less I found myself moved by these films.A movie should suspend reality for a few moments and bring us into their world! They should make us feel the range of emotions that make us feel alive.This movie has fulfilled many of these things. Though there are short comings in this film they can easily be over looked because of the great fun and beauty that is presented here! The little I have seen of Abhisek in these 2 films make my really like him. I think he is really cool and sometimes watching him do the musical numbers makes me wish I could up these doing these dances and having all that fun! Watch this movie and have some fun!

I'm a huge Aishwarya fan, so i rented this one....i was pleasantly surprised. Although having to read the entire movie in subtitles was kinda distracting.....I LOVED IT!!! The dancing was great music is awesome.....even though i can't understand the words, i bought the soundtrack!! I am new to the Bollywood cinemas, but this film is very enjoyable. Just keep in mind that it is a foreign film. The standards are different, no sex....kissing, etc. Aishwarya Rai's beauty is mesmerizing and at times I was distracted from reading the subtitles....This is a true love story. Ab wants to live single, his family wants him married...he starts to fall for Aish and Whammo.....the climax of the film. Can't tell you what happens ....you hafta see for yourself!!!

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!
