Marigold English Movie

Salman Khan's first Hollywood project Marigold is a romantic comedy. The long-delayed movie is directed by Willard Carroll.

Marigold is about young American women Marigold (Ali Larter) who travels to India to act in a film. Unfortunately the film gets cancelled and she ends up on the streets of Goa. Rani, an Indian friend, helps her get a small role in a Hindi musical movie. Marigold is not a natural dancer, with the help of choreographer Prem (Salman Khan) she experiences renewed confidence and falls in love with him. There is a twist in the tale; Prem is approaching his arranged marriage with a gorgeous Indian girl, Janvi (Nandana Sen). A disappointed Marigold leaves Prem. Does Prem unite with Marigold forms the rest of the story.

First a few things which are just hard to digest.

- Marigold, a girl who doesn't know the basics of dancing, learns to dance in just one night. Of course with the help of choreographer Prem. But is dancing so easy? Something, which can be mastered in a night?

- Barry, Marigold's boyfriend, lands up at the same town where she resides. He even manages to land up at the same bar where Prem is.

- What do the characters Marigold, Prem, Janvi actually want in life? The characters are anything but convincing.

The direction is bad. The writing doesn't make any sense. The dialogues are pathetic. And the music (Shankar Ehsaan Loy), which is a key in Musicals, is disappointing. The runtime is short by Bollywood standards (1 hour 45 minutes) but you feel extremely relieved when the end credits roll.

Salman Khan is like a Soda without Fizz. Expressionless, awful dialogue delivery. You name it; he's got everything wrong. Ali Larter isn't convincing, although good in a few scenes. Nandana Sen is decent. Rest of the cast is below average.

Marigold is a bad movie, which is not even worth 10% the price of your ticket. Not worth a watch even on television.
