Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

mmsrt1997 This movie was definitely released 2-3 years early, if it was released in 2015 or so then the movie would have done much better. Ajay Devgn looks like the only miscast as he looks too old for his character, but his brilliant acting covers it up. Asin, Aditya Roy Kapoor and Ranvijay Singh support their leads well in taking the story ahead. But Salman Khan's performance and the story are the real winners. The Story brilliantly shows themes like jealousy, trust, conspiracy and drug addiction in artist. It is really difficult to see how this movie was not appreciated. Going to Salman Khan, he has recently received a lot of criticism for his same over the top characters but what would one do after not getting appreciated despite giving such an excellent performance as Manu. His portrayal of a villager becoming a star is great but the drug addiction scenes are something we have never seen from Salman as he takes them to the next level. Direction was also very good and the unexpected end is something people didn't appreciate in 2009 as Indian audiences love happy ends. But the end was something the story deserved as it showed us how betrayal can't always win you dreams.

ian959 Whilst the film has an interesting enough premise the execution is pretty much diabolical.With the film being effectively developed over a ten year period, you would have thought that for a start the screenplay would have been a lot better. It really is weak with some barely creditable plot developments, which at times do chronically insult the viewer. I mean were they really serious about the last twenty minutes of the film? Atrocious!The film is horribly miscast. Ajay Devgan as a young man trying to get a break in the music business? Okay he tries, but really this needed one of the up and comers or a completely new face. Salman Khan is at his usual overacting worst here and fails to convince at any level. Poor Asin gets stuck with in a "leading" role with basically nothing to do other than being the token shatteringly gorgeous love interest which for all the limited time on screen could have been competently handled by any number of Bollywood supporting actresses.On a technical level there is not much horrendously wrong here, but it could and should have been so much better. The cinematography is good although the editing could have perhaps been a little tighter. Music was okay but not as good as it needed to be since it was the whole point of the film. Choreography was very average: I am still in two minds as to whether it should have been stripped out of the film completely or whether it needed to be more dazzling to support the music.Overall London Dreams is a very large disappointment as it could and should have been so much better than what it ended up being. A hugely wasted opportunity.

drklabs I just wondering what is the purpose of making movies like this? the profit? and to whom they are referring what intelligence must use your brain to watch something like this crap? This movie is watchable by under 3 years old children if you are adults don't try to watch it. Thats the reason i think Hollywood started to use cartoons in movies with actors like this you must forget the art of cinema , be sure that you ll have tons of pop corn to consume for time to pass till this movie ends also get many cola's hamburgers your laptop your cellphone this movie can be used easily in a restaurant but for sure not in a theater , my dog who is always next to my family when watching a movie left the building.The sure thing is that this movie is referring to people with no demands from the cinema art.The only thing that this movie can be used is for watching it when making the supermarket shopping list.I am giving 2 stars for supporting the India's cinema efforts but for nothing more or less..

silvan-desouza The film was written 10 years back and a different director was planning it with SRK and Aamir in lead rolesThe film finally was made now with Vipul Shah directing it And Ajay and Salman starring together after a decade HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM(1999)The movie however falls short due to it's 90's handling and worst it's loopholesThe film tries to pack in too many commercial ingredients and we also hav the love triangleEverything is predictable and filmy and too clichédThere are loopholes like how Ajay runs away from London Airport and makes a place for himself with no one? even the way he starts his band is not convincing The second half gets better with the twist in the tale of Ajay destroying Salman but sadly the climax falls short and the film ends on a bad noteDirection by Vipul Shah is ordinary to below average Music is the worst point, most songs are mediocreAmongst actors Ajay gives his best shot though he isn't convincing as a Rock singer yet he does superb as the negative role Salman however irritates with his punjabi and talking nonsense he only impresses when he gets drugged and thereon Asin is nothing great just a show piece Ranvijay should stick to MTV Om Puri is okay
