    Wow

    What a world class acting, absolutely just wow, there are no words to explain, I literally cringed. Talk about the acting though, the story script, it's something out of this world. The ambience of the movie seems fine.

    Very apt

    I appreciated the integration of the races as well as the integration of the cultures and lifestyles. The reality of how most parents and families react towards interracial marriage was well captured. The chat between the director"Leela" and Raj's mum pointed at things people should consider before allowing differences in race and culture to consume our thoughts. It could have been a bit more profound though. Loved the behind the scenes, the mix of races dancing and bonding was lovely. This movie should be projected in communities where there is racial divide. Congrats to the cast and crew.

    Something new

    Despite seeing its low rating - I think, Namaste Wahala definitely deserves a 1 time watch for being something new and different. It's not the best produced by Netflix but still worthy to watch.

    Indian-Afrika story, new and refressing, unfornutally bad story and acting.

    Bollywood has always been obsessed with white people. There was even a time that with every bollywood song you see white european people dancing on the background. So, Namaste Wahala (not bollywood) is as far as i know the first romance movie between africa and indian. the romance story is very weak and bad Acting. I think the director is new and we need to give her the chance and time to grow. I am sure in the future she will make better movies. i think they should make more indian-africa movies! I have Indian roots and my best friend/sister has African roots.

    Watchable

    The film has its moments and the bones to be a good romcom.

    The attempt to address racism and to merge Bolly- and Nollywood was commendable but the acting, the dialogue, the storyline all could have been slicker.
