Namastey London
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).
Indian-born Manmohan Malhotra relocated to London to establish himself and return to India, and he married Bebo; after four years, he obtained a visa for her so that she could live with him. Shortly thereafter, she gave birth to Jasmeet. Manmohan was always embarrassed by Bebo as she could not speak English and hence couldn't mingle with British people.
As a firm result he always left her out on important occasions while he was socialised. Bebo did not want Jasmeet to end up like her, so she got her educated in an English school and encouraged her to mingle with British friends. Jasmeet was transformed into Jazz, a young, beautiful girl modern in looks, talk, habits, and heart. But she is ashamed of her Indian heritage.
Her father had set her to meet a young person, Bobby Bedi, although the date turns out to be a disaster, and Bobby leaves and decides to reject her. Manmohan thinks that it is impossible to get him an Indian son-in-law, and his best friend, Parvez Khan, is in a similar situation with his son Imran, who also has a girlfriend, Susan. Manmohan takes his family on a tour of India and forces Jasmeet to marry Arjun Singh, who does not speak English.
On their return to London, Jasmeet announces that she will marry an Englishman named Charlie Brown, who is well educated and has good friends and connections, even with Prince Charles. She refuses to recognise her marriage to Arjun as there is no legal proof of the wedding.
When Jasmeet is introduced to the friends of the Brown family, she is subjected to racial comments from them and feels offended. Arjun notices Jazz is unhappy and goes with her to tell Charlie's family about India and Arjun speaks in Hindi and Jazz translates this for Charlie's family in English as they do not understand Hindi.
Jazz gets engaged to Charlie Brown, leaving Arjun depressed as he leaves while Manmohan finds him in the bar. Arjun tells Manmohan that Jazz has married Charlie, and he is in fact heartbroken that she left him for Charlie and realizes that he isn't the right man for her. Arjun also accepts Charlie's challenge of a rugby match despite not knowing how to play.
