Pardes

The movie is well made. The characters are believable and justified. One of the few movies that attempts to mix west and east, which is not done bad. Aa ab laut chalen is one of those. Patriotism is shown from cultural perspective, but alright. Songs are reminding of 90s trend, melodies of both western beats and soulful Indian tunes. It could have been highly intense in its contents by adding a few subplots regarding cultural shock issues. Its because a lot of Indians face that in reality. The film is made in themes like, friendship, love, sacrifice, misunderstanding, families with high reputation involved etc. It is a tale of love in personal level of the protagonist and in it the nationalism comes into play. It doesnot seem so irrational because the lady is affected by it more than the protagony. And love emotions plays it's natural part succeedingly.

The film is technically impressive, retains the serene presentation of standard 90s. SRK and other casts have done well, but not without the lining of dramatizations. No significant flaws present, except that of contents. Not really a perfected depictions of traditionalism and ultra modernism fused into one. But still an impressive try in that line. A 67/100.
