Neal N Nikki

I saw the movie, just got back!

Vulgarity? There was NONE! Taran Adarsh is BEYOND me, calling it the most vulgar film ever or whatever, he's talking crap! The film is CUTE, nothing about it is vulgar. They show nothing extreme...to be honest, Salaam Namaste 'showed' A LOT MORE than this! Neal N Nikki was so cute, I mean when they 'had it' they didn't show anything, they just show them waking up in the morning like in Hum Tum... People need to wake up, 'coz Neal N Nikki is far from vulgar.

Story was good, I thought it'd be a load of garbage but it was a great story in my opinion and the screenplay was brilliant... When I heard the movie was short I was like hmm that's not fair hehe BUT in the end I realise why. The screenplay was just perfect and the movie NEVER dragged! It was tight, to the point and basically great!

In Comparison to the other YRF films this year It's a way better film than Bunty Aur Babli and Salaam|Namaste ANY DAY! I enjoyed it far more than those movies. Those two (BAB/SN) were alright but they both had only good first halfs, their second halfs were weak! Neal N Nikki is entertaining the entire way through.

Kissing There were not so many kisses like exaggerated... One quick peck, and two proper longass kisses lol... The two 'long ones', agreed, were a bit too longgishh and made me awkward watching them...

Family viewing? If you can watch Salaam|Namaste with your family, then there is NO problem what-so-ever watching this with your family.

Music & Background Music Salim-Suleiman are the Gods of the music industry in India for me now for sure...! The songs rocked and the background score was outstanding! I loved the way the old songs were remixed like in the credits, and at the beginning of the engagement in the climax...

Costumes were not as bad as I thought they were going to be. Uday's clothes were brilliant, he's one of the best dressed actors no doubt. Tanisha was dressed ok, a couple of her outfits were just silly coz she was exposing for no reason at times, but sometimes her outfits were pretty too.

Songs Picturisation Vaibhavi Merchant is a good song-director, and she does well again... Halla Re was picturised alright... The title song was shot fantastic... I'm In Love was awesome... Akh Ladiye was good too... All the songs moved the film forward, the songs did not come as 'loo breaks', they were helpful to the story especially the title song and Im In Love...

Comments on the 'filmi puns' I just loved that comic thingy on DDLJ in the title song... How sweet! It really touched my heart! I know it sounds weird to say that but DDLJ is my favourite film and seeing something like that with Kajol's sister and Uday (who is like Shah Rukh so much) was so emotional and cute! And haha when Tanisha was showing Uday the filmi clips on his laptop... When she showed him Amitabh in Silsila and she was like 'but you and Amitabhs song nah' and then she showed him Rishi in Chandni, I think that was all so cute! and of course all the background music they played from various older films (even Mohabbatein lol) was cute!

Gurneal Alluwaliah & Nikitta Bakshi Both characters were extremely well sketched... And I think things like the costumes etc really added value to the characters, they were apt for the characters... I mean yes Tanisha exposed a bit too much with the bras and all hehe BUT I think it did help picture Nikki's character better...Both were such CUUUTTE characters!

PERFORMANCES

Uday Chopra stole the show! If anyone can do comedy, it's him! I swear I love this guy so much... From Mohabbatein till now, he always gives such perfect performances, I love him so so much! He is my Mr Cute n Adorable, my Magic Man, my Jaanu, my Vicky and of course MY Neal! Uday - you'll always be my only rockstar and superstar! hehe... Awesome performance... The film was totally upon his shoulders and his only, he carried it so well... No one, and I mean no one, could have played this character with such perfection! I love Neal!

Tanisha Mukerji I wish this was her debut. She wasn't very good, but it still launched her in a new way, projecting her as someone with potential for the future... I think she's improved a lot now and with time I hope she improves even more... She has high expectations 'coz she's the sister of Kajol and cousin of Rani, she has a lot to live up to... I don't know if she can reach their standards, but she can do very well... She's sweet and given the right oppertunities (eg; given Yash Raj Films lol) she can go extremely far...She just needs the right people who know how to control and project her!

Abhishek Bachchan in his very special appearance rocked! I love this dude and I am so happy Adi Chopra always takes him, I think it's so kool and so sweet! I hope Abhi is always always always in every Adi Chopra production, always! His dialogue was so naughty but nice haha!

Richa Pollad was gorgeous! She is so cute! I loved her outfit in Akh Ladiye a lot!

Gaurav Gehra (Jassi's Nandu!) was cute! I was disappointed about his role being so small, but he was quite funny and and cute, was really nice to see him!

Others were great too, but the film was mainly a two-people-show... and both Neal N Nikki lived their characters so well, for those two-ish hours they WERE Neal and Nikki, very apt castings, and that is why Adi Chopra is Adi Chopra, he knows exactly who to cast where and when!

Overall Verdict...! It's December, the last month of the year... My Top 5 Of 2005 (1) Black (2) Parineeta (3) Lucky (4) Kyon Ki (5) Socha Na Tha & Neal N Nikki.... I LOVED Neal N Nikki! Oh my days, I have no clue as to why some people didn't like it...! I don't see how you couldn't have enjoyed it...It was SO much fun! One of my favourite movies of the year... I really can't wait to get the DVD!

End message The film is nice and naughty! It is cute (how I wanted it to be) not vulgar. So please don't get put off the film just coz you think it's gonna be vulgar, it's NOT... it's cute and happening...I LOVED it and I'm sure lots of other people have/will too!

My review

CRAP!!!! TANISHA-

Her flaunting herself like she did in the movie does not make her credible for the legacy of kajol and her family. She cannot ACT. Maybe she sholud stop acting.

Uday-- Well he tried but was also quite annoying becoz i am not really a fan of his.

I thought this would be a good film becoz it was yash raj, but i guess i was aiming too high especially with talentless and a script with no rythm.

Sorry guys i give it a thumbs down. So shoot me now for even watching it :shooting:

I am a huge fan of Uday..he's the soul of the film, if u dont lyk him ud probly not lyk the film

Tanisha still has a long way to go in terms of look n performance both..shes lucky shes Kajols sister otherwise shed never get another chance... shes kind of annoying sometimes. but overall she was ok.

Thanks and you're welcome

Didn't you watch it Sara?

Have to say though, Tanisha's upset me a lot in her interviews... Her personality isn't really appealing... As an actress too she has a long way to go... But she was fine

No I haven't watched it and I don't think I will be able to watch it in theatre since am 100% sure that they ain't going to release it here due to negative publicity and the whole kissing issue , so mostly I will have to wait the DVD :(

Tanisha is a bit too lucky, most talented actress out their don't get enough chances to come on screen, but tanisha who is just categorized and hasn't shown anything for herself-'cough' no acting ability, she gets a chance of a lifetime. Like me i want to be an actress, anywayz guyz, wish me luck i have an audition on monday for a film called 'forbidden'. I am waiting for my break GOD BLESS!

Sleaze Fails!


The verdict is loud and clear: NEAL 'N' NIKKI has been rejected outright in the U.S. The vulgar film, which focuses on bra, bikini, bust and butt more than a sound story, has recorded dull collections in its opening weekend. Its failure only reiterates the fact that it's a solid story that does the talking at the end of the day.

The other biggie, EK AJNABEE, has fetched a better start than NEAL 'N' NIKKI, but that's no consolation. The collections aren't the type that would make you jump with joy. Also goes to show, once again, that action flicks aren't hot property in Overseas.

Tanisha loooked crap.........she exposed so much and didnt have an iota of sensualiity and appeal.....

she outdid Mallika in overexposing.......i think her cleavage and bosom got more camera focus than did her face...........

she doesnt know how to act........i really worry dat she shall put the entire clan of hers to shame....

Hasn't one scene enough of issues relating to premarital sex in films like Kya Kehna, Hum Tum and the recently released Salaam Namaste. Neal (Uday Chopra) and Nikki (Tanishaa) are studying in a college in Canada. The two meet and fall in love. Then comes the issue of the forbidden fruit-kissing, hugging and premarital sex. Arjun Sablok has attempted to give the film a very Dilwale Dhulaniya Le Jaayenge feel to it. But Uday does not have the magic of Shah Rukh Khan and Tanisha fails to be a mesmerising Kajol. Arjun Sablok has captured Canada like never before. Some of the locations take your breath away. What one fails to understand that the two youth who live a completely westernized life, how come they are so Indian in their values? What also takes you by surprise is that the girl whom the boy falls in love with has to be a virgin. It's completely okay if he is not. How regressive can we get?

I like Uday so I will watch the movie just for Uday only .... I don't really like Tanisha !

and of course Uday and shahrukh Cannot be compaired in any way .. Shahrukh is a way bigger super star .... No other actor in Bollywood not even Amitabhjee can be as good as Shahrukh is ( that is my opinion ) ...
and same goes for Kajol .... No other actress can be compaired to her not even her own sis .... even though I feel Madhuri is also a talented actress ....

But I am gonna watch N n N on DVD soon ....

I thought it was sooo goood too!
actually, wat an amazing film.
I loved the parts where you could watch it with your parents and not cringe,there were not many, but it was still good!
Tanishas acting was rubbish, she had no sense of comic timing and she made the worst facial expressions not to mention an annoying, whining voise. But that didnt really matter. I mean she was only in every scene of the film.
Uday Chopra couldnt act either and he looked like he was constipating constantly (called acting nowadays apparently). But it didnt matter.
The story line was the best! It didnt matter that you knew exactly what was going to happen during the film and the comedy made you cringe it was still good!!!!
Costumes, Poor director he couldnt even afford them. I felt so sorry for Tanisha! But, it was great because she didnt even seem to mind! See, what a great film.
The music was brilliant, I mean two year olds would love the soundtrack. God, it really made you shake your booty.
Overall I give the film 100000/10. Please watch it and forget stories which actually mean something (black) and stories which actually touch your heart (Veer Zaara) because nothing can beat Neal n Nangi


Hope no one gets offended. Just a joke.
