Review:
The main character in this movie was supposed to be born and brought up in Canada, yet he had a thicker Indian accent than his parents!
Is it just me or does Uday look gay in this movie?
The only good thing about this movie is the setting in beautiful Vancouver.
It's because of movies like this.
I miss the good old' days when Hindi movies were actually entertaining!I couldn't even finish this movie because it was so bad.
I think Bollywood needs to stop trying to replicate the style of Hollywood because it's just not working out.
They need to stick to their roots because that's what makes Indian movies entertaining..
This film probably isn't worth a visit to the theater but it's perfectly watchable at home as long as you are comfortable with sex jokes and innuendo.Overall 5/10.
It is the same hackneyed plot of a guy and a girl meeting and falling in love.
But it fails miserably in either depicting a love story or giving it the western touch.
Finally, it is a movie with no fun, no acting, no theme, no plot, no comedy , no action, no thrill, no romance (i associate romance to something more passionate).
Definitely not a movie you would want to go with your family.
Overall, if you are looking for a movie with some content, this is definitely not an option.
I shall wait for the day when bollywood movies are something that i can wait to watch and i can refer to my friends as a "must watch" movie..
Worst acting ever by a leading duo ie uday-tanisha.
1 point for the music which is a million times better than the film.
When will Bollywood filmmakers wake up and realise that the story is the most important part of a film and not just the look!
No wander people laugh at our films if we continue to make these pathetic, souless so called 'films' If you want a good film that has a DECENT STORY,SCRIPT and ACTING watch WATER instead!!Just my two cents.
The only thing better than a good film is one so bad it falls right over the other side into greatness.
I enjoyed every painful, awkward, un-self-conscious, enthusiastic, ridiculous, out-of-touch SECOND of Neal n Nikki.
My friends and I have had a Neal n Nikki Nite three times already.
The bad songs are enthusiastic and cheesy so you can't get them out of your head and end up really enjoying singing them (Neal n Nikki; Amanda; I'm in Love), and some are just genuinely good (A pretty girl from Bhatinda; Hallare; Anakh Lariye).
when was the last time i wanted to run amidst a movie.
Yash Chopra movies- the flavoring was long lost.
Uday Chopra is more than just disappointing.Pre-marital sex is an over-talked issue which went looking too naive for the duo to pull it off well.
Everything else about the story is too repetitive and too cliché to make any prominent difference to the movie , which starts stumbling in the first few minutes.Songs seem to have been hummed too much.
Lyrics are not worth getting tuned.If there is any high point in the movie, may be its just the scenic beauty but then i would rather pay a hefty amount and visit Britain than spend hours watching a sad attempt at romance!The freshness and the feel good effect of the yesteryear Yash Chopra mushy flicks have lost their color and charm in the crowd of new comers expecting the costly sets and the music set up to help them climb the ladders of fame!It doesn't work anymore!.
Why doesn't Uday just retire.....This movie sucked.
Neal N Nikki is voted on of the Worst films of the year by Planetbollywood.
Its hard to believe the famous Chopra's have produced this lousy movie.
It was presented as a movie for the family, but turns out to be a ridiculous sex comedy.
Nor does it make you laugh, but cry of boredom and nor does it have any sexy girls to make the film look sexy.
Uday Chopra is one of Bollywood's worst actors ever with no acting talent.
After making many Super Flops, and not receiving any movies from a producer rather then his Family.
The ending was so daft and stupid, I cant believe i actually paid money to rent this crap..
Neal N Nikki is Good!
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.
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..
Uday, (with his red lips-what were the make up artists thinking???!) tries hard to look cool but fails miserably.
There is nothing worth watching in this movie.
In this case the extremely annoying Uday Chopra and the equally if not more annoying Tanisha.
Thank god this movie is not your usual three hours long and runs like a B-grade run of the mile romantic comedy.
Saying that this movie is quite entertaining, and you can get a good laugh but for all the wrong reasons.
You may not laugh at the jokes but the silly and likely probability of half the things the two get to in this movie.
And finally some decent kissing in a bollywood movie.
I am embarrassed for Yash Raj films, the poor guys have to live with the horrible news that yes, they produced this terrible film.This is by far, the most, trashy, sexual, eyebrow-raising movie I have ever seen by Yash Raj Films.
Along with the terrible acting (or NO acting, for that matter) by Uday Chopra, combined with the lack of talent of the "Look At My Boobs" Tanisha, Neal 'n' Nikki has not one good thing about it at all.
Neal N Nikki - Stupid yet enjoyable romantic comedy.
Neal and Nikki make out and have sex.
Basically, anyone expecting traditional Indian entertainment aka Yash Chopra's hit from 1995 Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge will be sorely disappointed.
Ten years later, he makes Neal N Nikki, the anti-DDLJ.
Moronic and utterly stupid at times, but pretty progressive the way it looks at sex and the love lives of twenty-somethings.
Uday Chopra is an SRK wannabe who needs to get his own style.
These guys try way too hard to ape his style, but really seem to believe that they're the next best thing.
A toned body is the last thing an actress needs (Look at frumpy, but talented Kajol).
Clearly, gone are the days when actors and actresses were actually unique, instead of talentless star kids (We're looking at you, Kareena/Esha/Zayed/Fardeed/Tusshar) or cookie-cutter supermodels with the same personality (If you replaced Priyanka with Lara in a movie, would anyone really notice?).
Excellent movie, watch the DVD!!!.
This movie takes place in Beautiful British Columbia in the city of Vancouver.
This movie captures not only Vancouver, Oliver and my favorite city Victoria.
Neal and Nikki was a cool and hip movie.
A friend commented on how Nikki looks Italian.
I just got back from the VPL (Vancouver Public Library) where that particular coffee shop is...and I read a back issue of Filmfare (march 2006 and I read a bad review of this movie).
Many points to make...First of all like every Hindi movie has stereotypes and this one is no exception but there were a lot of truths in this movie.
Another truth is that people deal with breakups in different ways...Nikki's was drinking while the Lawyer had relationships on her own terms.
The last song with all three of them was nice, it was so funny when Neal tells Nikki he is going to make her dance at his wedding.
When non Indians watch some Indian dancing they blush, for me it is common way to dance because I grew up watching Hindi movies and English.
I have learned to appreciate foreign films from the friends I have made from different countries who come to Canada for school etc...
Nikki looked cute not vulgar.
Neal looked hot.
Uday has been working out and it shows, it showed in his first movie Mohabbatein.
All the songs in the movie are catchy.
The director did an excellent job it is too bad that some people do not appreciate Canada.
Vancouver is Hollywood north, I know actors that will be famous one day!
Pardes was shot at UBC, the part where she is giving her speech about "I love my India" At least in this movie Vancouver was given its due credit.
Cute 'N' Cool Movie.
It is a great movie.
It is a fun, light-hearted, happy, cheerful, fresh movie.
Even the climax of the movie, when Nikki is suppose to stop the engagement(thank God, not the final grand wedding), the story has a funny twist, unlike all the other movies where there is lots of crying, sacrifice, and blah blah blah.....
The places where the movie is shot are really beautiful.
The music of the movie is brilliant.
I has a touch of Punjabi + western + Indian classical + something like Arabic (I think).
The movie is overall decent.
It is about the way she is portrayed; and I don't think Tanisha's role in the movie is reprehensible.
Another thing I don't understand is why people are complaining about the movie not being realistic.
If they wanted to see realistic practical things, they shouldn't be watching movies at all.
Movies are for entertainment and this movie is thoroughly entertaining, especially because of the energetic roles/characters of the actors, the music, the dance etc.
Everyone's acting in the movie is good, the Indians' as well as the Canadians'.
Tanisha Mukherjee and Uday Chopra have acted really well.
For the short span of the movie, the characters are pretty well-etched, eg., the heroine's ego with respect to her being fired from jobs or being dumped by boyfriends.
Finally one movie doesn't show crap like 'I can't live without you' love.
This movie shows just the optimum amount of attraction/emotions/love.
I think after Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, this is the only cute movie of Yash Chopra/Aditya Chopra films.
None of my friends had watched this movie, because of the general comment that it is not worth watching.
And after that most of my friends have watched it and they've all liked it.
So, people, if you like bright, cheerful, cute, happy movies...this is the one for you..
I agree that this movie is about sex without any seduction or love.
I actually don't think at all this remotely speaks of how Canadian Indian second generations feel about sex.
That Korean film was actually brilliant as comedy but at the same time compels the audience to reflect on the complexity of man-woman relationships and man-woman difference in experience and thinking.
Can't Bollywood movie makers try to make originals only, please?
Neal N Nikki is a No Way!.
This movie is not worth anything.
I mean, if you want to watch this kind of stuff, flip to Hollywood movies!
Neal N Nikki seriously sucked!
Never watch this movie.
Tanisha couldn't have worn less and Uday Chopra obviously was just picked because he was the director's spoiled son.
(All of that Halla Re was amazingly stupid) The songs are eh, and I hope the director did not spend to much money on it......
Bottom line, I hated the movie.
Do not let your kids watch it, and if you have it in your house it is a stupid movie so discard it!
(As I said, the songs are eh.) At least it is better then the movie..
Sorry women, go indulge urselves in something like Chalte Chalte.This movie works on so many levels.
First, the skin show is spectacular, every girl in this movie is absolutely stunning, esp Ms. Tanisha who has body for days and the cutest facial expressions.The acting in this movie should be taken for what it is supposed to be, dorky, stupid and fun.
And for that Uday Chopra carries this movie so that you couldn't imagine anyone else being able to play this role.The Story works well, nothing is expected, up until the very end.The songs are very catchy and will have you wanting to buy the CD.
Normally English/Hindi songs sound very hackneyed and chopped together, but the songs flow well and are very refreshing.Perhaps one of the best movies i have ever seen, not met a girl who wasn't jealous of it nor a guy who didn't love it..
Yash Raj films makes a bold entrance into hot new genre!.
OK, yeah, everyone's going bonkers over how vulgar, raunchy, and immoral this film is, but hey, this is a sex comedy--what can you really expect?
Please, please leave your brain at home before watching this movie.
If you watch this movie seriously, you might get offended.
This film is catered 100% to the NRI youth as it deals with a Candian-Indian looking for some action (21 girls in 21 days) before his wedding day.
Yash Raj Films never leaves a job half-done and make sure it goes the full way to make a quality film.
Neal 'n Nikki is no exception.
Uday Chopra suited his role.
I don't know what everyone is talking about an awful movie.
I just saw this movie and it's great.
Yash Chopra and Arjun Sablok keep them coming and don't let some of these people cast a black cloud over the movie..
To establish the legitimacy of my criticism: I've been watching both English and Hindi movies since I was five and my father rented episodes of the Maharabharata and then I saw Rocky the next day.Yash Chopra must have gone out and gotten every swimsuit model in Canada for this movie.
The movie opens with Neal (Uday Chopra) as a young man from a rich family in Canada, who's about to get married.
He decides to go to Vancouver to enjoy his last few days of freedom and decides to meet as many girls as he can before the wedding.Enter Tanisha as Nikki.
She opens the film as an exaggerated Indian version of the morally bankrupt Westernized female, drinking alcohol, being sexually forwards etc.
The movie is rather up-front about pre-marital sex, and even throws in a few kisses between the leads (those villagers must be going crazy in India over this).
I guarantee a million Indians were on the Internet searching for her pictures after seeing this movie.
Chopra could have spent a week more on the script as some dialogue is clunky and some obvious punch lines missed.Overall: A fun, yet uneven movie aimed squarely at NRIs and will most likely be doomed to comparisions with the far better Dil Chathai Hai.On a side note: the character Happy is by far the most ridiculous yet sublime musician I've ever seen in cinema.
Neal 'n' Nikki!.
Neal 'n' Nikki!.
But I loved the songs.
The movie was nice yes, most of it.I loved Tanisha best in the movie.
I thought her acting was stunning!My favorite songs were "Ake Ladiye","I'm In Love","Neal 'n' Nikki".
Yash could work on making the film a bit more appropriate, though.
I through the beginning of the movie was rather funny.
In comedy, I would rate the film 7/10.Ok well, hope you see it!.
terrible movie!.
I really wish bollywood would stop exposing their actresses and start writing some GOOD stories.
In the end, they realize that they are truly made for each other - and not for the other 100 girls he wanted to have sex with.
Tanisha seems as horny as Uday.
When will bollywood understand that we don't watch bollywood movies for its sex but for its stories...if we wanted to watch movies for 'steamy scenes'.
Tanisha is shown drinking from a bottle, or taking shots of tequila about 5-6 times in the movie.
The heroine of the movie doing this makes the youngsters feel this behaviour is acceptable.The less that is said about failure of Uday Chopra doing Shahrukh Khan's DDLJ role of arrogant girl-chaser, the better.
The movie is about equality of sexes.
Not even in Canada women dress like this, or guys behave like they have shown in the movie.
Perhaps they should have a disclaimer at the beginning stating, "All characters and events in the movie are imaginary and do not reflect the actual culture of the cities and countries mentioned in the film." The only good thing about this movie is the length, 1.5 hrs, thank god.
