Salaam Namaste (2005)Stars: Preity Zinta, Saif Ali Khan
Director: Siddharth Anand
Producer: Aditya Chopra
Preity Zinta (from Dil Se) and Saif Ali Khan (from Dil Chahta Hai) star as two young, independent Indians living in Melbourne, Australia. Zinta plays Ambar, a medical student who left India to escape her parents’ expectations of her to get married. Khan plays Nick, a young man who became an architect to please his father, only to follow his own dream and become a successful chef in Australia.
Ambar works part time as a DJ on the Indian radio station, Salaam Namaste. When she is supposed to interview Nick about his restaurant and he oversleeps, she makes it her mission to defame him publicly, embarrassing him in front of the entire Indian community of Melbourne. When the unknowing meet at a wedding and fall for each other, they learn to put their differences behind them as they pursue a relationship with one another.
Ambar and Nick eventually move in together and fall deeply in love. All of this happiness is shattered, however, when Ambar discovers that she is pregnant. As the story continues, both characters grapple with the issue of their pregnancy and the effect it may have on their relationship. -Lauren Ehrlich
