Namastey London (transl. 'Greetings London') is a 2007 Indian romance 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. The film is originally based on the real life story of Kumar's friend. Riteish Deshmukh appears in a cameo role in the film.[2]
"Namastey London" was released on March 23, 2007, and it received positive reviews for its direction, screenplay, and soundtrack, particularly Akshay Kumar's performance, which was highly acclaimed and it's music album composed by Himesh Reshammiya Was Highly Well Acclaimed and performed well on its music charts with its songs becoming Chartbuster hits. It was also a box office success, earning ₹71.40 crore worldwide, thus becoming the ninth-highest grossing Hindi film of 2007.[3] The success of the film ended a long dry spell of box office failures since the release of Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love which was released on January 2007.
At the 53rd Filmfare Awards, Namastey London received 1 nomination – Best Actor (Kumar).[4]
Several critics noted similarities between the film and Manoj Kumar's Purab Aur Paschim (1970),[5][6] though the director denied it being a remake.[7][8][9]
