Product Description
In a "bouncy Bollywood meets Hollywood romantic comedy" (BBC Films), Ali Larter stars as feisty B-list actress Marigold Lexton, who, stranded and broke in Goa, India, after financing flops on her low-budget film, lands a role in a musical to pay her way home. Eager to prove herself, she seeks famed choreographer Prem Rajput's (Bollywood superstar Salman Khan) guidance, and a whirlwind romance begins...until Marigold discovers Prem holds a powerful, inescapable past--and a future that holds no place for her.

 Try the real thing instead November 4, 2008
Lyn (Melbourne Australia)
I am now thinking of avoiding Bollywoods that cross the cultural divide and have Bollywoods with American/ British actors etc.
To give it its due this movie is better in being in India and Salman Khan emotes his socks off and mostly saves the movie.
The few musical numbers are OK but nothing special and the music, for me, unmemorable.
The American heroine goes from overacting 'Bitch' to someone who just doesnt seem to fit the Bollywoods. These crosses of culture (as with Mistress of Spices and the dreadful Bollywood Queen) make the Westerners look wooden and with limited acting range when put next to the Indian actors.
Even the beauty of Western actors fades next to some of the naturally striking (and non-Barbie doll) men and women.
I now see the point of the long Indian movies as they take time to develop characters and you end up caring more (than in this movie) who gets the girl or lives to save the day.
Unless you are starting with the idea of Bollywood and havent been won by that industry yet, I'd go for the real thing.
 very good movie! September 12, 2008
Yaser A. Alkhars
I first saw this film in the cinema and I was very disappointed as it was in dubbed in Ordo with English subtitke!
This DVD version is much better as the film was origanaly filmed in English!
As for the film itself, if you like a bollywood fantasy then you'll enjoy it very much! It has every thing that you'd expect in a typical bollywood film: romance, drama, dancing, fantastic custumes and scenary and the typical bollywood ending with the wedding ceremony that ends with someone happely giving up his spouse for the hero or heroen!!!
Overall a good east meet west movie! With good chemistry between Salman Khan and Ali Larter.
The DVD is good but laks subtitles!!
Bollywood: Respite from Hollywood September 9, 2008
William Bjornson (Aloha, Oregon, USA)
As KUSC, the local classical station would have it: L.A., the creative capitol of the world! LOL Is humanity so far down the road to extinction? In any case, if you like movies and just want to sit back and be entertained by music and dance and less than cutthroat mating interactions, Bollywood has a corner on the market. This movie is not of the quality of, say, Legend of 1900, but if you just want to be entertained, the very attractive and talented people and the light directional hand will pass a couple of evening hours and send you off to bed with the sense that, somewhere in the world, people are still smiling. You may be, too.

Hollywood meets Bollywood in the '07 film 'Marigold', an enjoyable romp through Bombay starring Indian luminary Salman Khan and American actress Ali Larter. The movie begins rather slowly but as the relationship between Salman and Ali builds you'll find yourself slowly drawn into the storyline. Definitely not a classic but it does provide a solid evening of entertainment with exotic scenery, colorful costumes and music that is pure Bollywood. If you're unfamiliar with Indian films or reading subtitles this English language production will serve as a solid and painless primer on the Indian cinematic experience that may intrigue the audience enough to explore this ever-growing phenomenon further.
My Rating: -3 1/2 Stars-.
Cute movie, perfect for incurable romantics! August 18, 2008

I have seen few Bollywood movies in Hindi before despite the fact I don't speak the language so I was delighted to see an American-Indian co-production on the genre. Salman Khan is hot, ladies! He is emotional in this movie and I wish the producers would have inserted an interview of him on this particular work in extra. The documentary on Marigold is very insightful though. I found Ali more likeable as the film went on but not so at ease in the dancing scenes. It is a joyful movie with emotional moments and funny lines. You will enjoy it!
