Ball and Chain (2004)

OK.. I just had to comment.. This movie is quite as the previous commenter sais. It definitely offers much to laugh about and I really enjoy this kind of humour! First hour. Great stuff! But then. Around the 1 hour mark the fun just dies out and the non-communication begins. And I just got more and more annoyed of the girl just not opening her mouth for once in stead of staring into the horizon and doing what daddy wants. And yeah this is the typical thing to happen in an arranged marriage/listen to your daddy/all will be good in the end kind of sort of Bollywood movie.. But it just seemed to me that that was the ONLY reason they made it to an hour-thirty. That spoiled it for me.. I skipped through the last 30 minutes in 5 minutes and forgot about it.. Which was a shame, since the first hour was.. Well.., Good.

This movie was just absolutely horrible. I live in Canada, and it cost my friends and I $5.91 to rent this movie. I wish I had bought some rat poison instead. Before I get any deeper into the movie, I want to tell everyone about the votings: there were so many 10's, I couldn't believe it. It MUST be true that they just got extras to vote. My friends and I actually FAST-FORWARDED through 2/3's of the movie because it was so crappy. Anyways: on to the movie, with obvious *******SPOILERS********* not that it matters, I would've saved you money and time.Basically, this movie has 2 separate plots: One of the Indian guy from harold and kumar being forced into an arranged marriage with a chick with braces, the other of some guy loving this girl with a very traditionally Indian father. These 2 plot lines are completely unrelated except that the main character from both plot lines are both friends and both work at a gay fashion club. (not kidding).Kumar's story line disappears halfway through the movie and I don't think we ever see him again. He just... disappears.The other guy ends up marrying the girl of his dreams.Throughout the movie, there are weird meaningless interjections. For example, in one part of the movie where the female protagonist is talking with her suppressive dad, the camera keeps panning over to this Indian show her father is watching of two guys in festive gold plating talking to each other. we literally see about 2 minutes of the show her dad is watching, while talking to her daughter in a non-chalant and far-off manner.For future reference to the people who have worked on this movie, please try to give movies a PLOT, and COHERENCE, so your audience actually knows what the hell is going on.

the movie is a foolish compilation of absurd events leading to nonsensical ending.It starts with a fashion show,but the lead actor turns out to be a computer professional.From the very moment it starts it makes no sense,whatsoever.The hero's closest friend is married to a female with dental casts,who looks like she could could scare a lot of kids even in wide daylight.Mythological serials??Who likes those ramanuj sagar sagas anyways,such stereotyping is sick man.Its shitty from the starting,and foolish by the time it reaches its end.the movie is so irritating that it makes me want to pull all my hair out.I mean I reached a point when I felt,okk it couldn't get any worse ,but man the director proved me wrong hands down,just keeps getting worse and worse and still worse.The only thing good about th movie was miss Lisa ray's cleavage,ohhhhhhhhhhhhh man that lady would drive the living daylights out of me,I generally don't watch a movie just for a pretty lady,hence even for all her aphrodite's beauty,the movie is a big time looser.Sheer nonsense.nothing less nothing more.

This film is a funny romantic comedy about Indian arranged marriage, with a cast that is very easy to like. I know this topic has been hit on many times, but this is different. The stereotypes in this picture are played with realism. Its about Ameet (Sunil Malhotra) and Saima( Lisa Rey), and their respective families wanting them to joined in marital bliss and the trials and tribulations that go into courting.I found Sunil's performance to be quite natural, the film was bright and colorful... very easy on the eyes, and Lisa Ray looked stunning.Kal Penn and Purva Bedi really added to the films funny bone.After seeing this film i couldn't help but be impressed with how far filmmaking has come in this genre. I left the screening with a smile and a feeling that i just saw something really fresh and creative.
