I absolutely loved this movie - not only because two of my very favourites are in here, but because the movie actually made my dil go hmmm...
Preity and Saif team up again, this time in Melbourne and without SRK to mess up their natural chemistry ( Kal Ho Naa Ho). These two are so amazing on screen, it hurts. By the way, is it just me, or is Saif getting hotter with every movie he makes?
Anyway, the movie centres around Nick (Saif) and Ambar (Preity), two Indians living in Melbourne. Both have modern values and marriage is the last thing on their minds.
Nick (short for Nikhil), an up-and-coming chef is supposed to be a guest on Salaam Namaste, a desi radio station. His penchant for oversleeping causes him to be late much to the annoyance of Ambar, the cute RJ who's supposed to be conducting the interview. She makes her feelings known on air by cheekily insulting Nick's character. This creates animosity between them.
However, when they meet in flesh, there's an instant attraction and before you know it - Nick declares his love for Ambar live on air. He's so taken with her that he suggest they move in to see if what they feel is real. Ambar is hesistant, but eventually agrees.
They move in and fall in love. Everything is bliss...until two months later, Ambar discovers she's pregnant. Nick is freaked out by this and encourages her to abort the baby. At the last minute, Ambar has a change of heart and decides to keep her child.
This causes major problems for her relationship with Nick who has a phobia for marriage and children. They end it, but continue to live together resentfully.
The rest of the movie shows Nick coming to terms with reality and eventually making a decision that will affect him and Ambar forever.
Apart from the whole Nine Months theme, the movie has light hearted moments. The music is fantastic - one of the best soundtracks I've heard. Many conservative people will be put off by the premarital cohabitation theme and the love scenes, but in the end, it is a great movie.
