What happens

Namastey London (transl. Hello London) is a 2007 Indian romantic comedy film directed and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah. It stars Rishi Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Nina Wadia, Javed Sheikh, Upen Patel and Clive Standen. Riteish Deshmukh appears in a cameo role. Namastey London was theatrically released on 23 March 2007, and received positive reviews for its direction, screenplay, soundtrack, and Kumar's performance. It was a box office success, earning ₹71.40 crore worldwide, thus becoming the ninth-highest grossing Hindi film of 2007. Although critics noted similarities between the film and Manoj Kumar's Purab Aur Paschim (1970), Vipul Shah denied Namastey London was a remake. At the 53rd Filmfare Awards, Namastey London received 1 nomination – Best Actor (Kumar). The film is now considered a cult classic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
