Neal N Nikki was shot in Vancouver B.C. ( that is not why i'm partial to the film) but it does shows Vancouvers Radiating beauty.
The film itself needs to be broken down in order to be appreciated.
First of all this film is NOT for the old generation of Bollywood film goers. To translate this into a Hollywood comparisons it would be American Pie meets a love story.
Secondly the acting is terrible, but the roles are so unique that i couldn't think of other actors to pull it off. Tanisha and Uday create believable annoying roles, but they slowly by the end of the film find a place in your heart where you can understand where they are in their life. I thought Tanisha was annoying at first, but by the end i realized that i for the first time knew a character not an actress. The reason is I know this is not how Tanisha acts on her day to day routines, she filled the role of a perky 20 year old well.
Third, the songs are brilliant. Yeah i agree that the film presented them a bit weakly;however, the songs are amazing. A great fusion of west meets east in i'm in love, Neal n Nikki is the most kiddiest song but is hummed almost immediately after the film is over, ahk ladiya is a fantastic Punjabi song, and halla re has great music. I thoroughly enjoyed the way they parodied old Indian movies in "im in love" thus proving that this movie is for a new generation.
So if you can over the taboo dialouge, and cheesy but cute plot line, Neal n Nikki is naughty and nice!!! I loved it, cause of it's character..it was definitely not run of the mill..and thats why i liked it.
