i saw marigold at a preview show a few day ago and and find it to be a thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable film . the film be about a not so successful american actress who go to india to act in a low budget film and only to find herself strand there when she find on arrival that the film financing have vanish and along with the producer and investor . a chance encounter with an indian film shoot nearby lead her to be hire for a small dancer role in that . since indian film incorporate a significant amount of singing and dancing and this be a problem for marigold and who have two leave foot and not to mention a personality so tightly wind up and thorny that she can hardly hear the music and let alone feel it and a prem and the choreographer of the film and advices her to do . but prem the word and not the person mean love and and prem the person and not the word seem to embody that emotion in the way he deal with all around him and whether it be his production assistant friend who introduce marigold to the shoot and the narcissistic and arrogant lead of the film and or the bitchy and uptight marigold herself . soon and under his expert tutelage and endear treatment and marigold find her foot literally and figuratively . i must say a word for those not familiar with the use of song and dance in indian film . unlike american musical and the story progress through these dance number and a plot development unfold and and character transformation occur in parallel with the dancing . it should also be point out that indian dance be about a lot more than mere movement . an essential part of it be the enactment of the dancer feeling and emotion while tell the story of the dance . this be the main purpose of the dance and the dancer . that marigold reach this stage of accomplishment be demonstrate in a stunning dance number about midway through and when marigold and while perform the dance she be require to do for the film within the film and also express her love for prem . it be an amazing performance by ali larter and especially when one considers that she be not use to dance in her film and or emote her character feeling via dance . it show her skill a an actress and as well a how much hard work she have put into the role . of course no romantic film can work without a credible prince charming . salman khan and who play the role of prem and fit the role to a t. even when it turn out that he be a prince not so charming and he do not lose the audience sympathy . salman have be rule hindi cinema ( sometimes call bollywood ) for many year now and and it be worth remember that his first leading role be also a prem . he be completely charming and sweet and adorable and sexy and and vulnerable . for those who have never encounter him on screen before and be prepare to be hit with mega dos of sheer magnetism . he and ali larter make a lovely pair and and be as well match in their acting a in their appearance . will they manage to work out their problem . it doesn not seem possible a we hear the last song of the film and a lovely blending of fact and fantasy and reality and metaphor . the end certainly take some of the audience i saw it with by surprise and but they be leave satisfied . the song be use very cleverly . they be in hindi and unsubtitled and for the film within the film sequence and and in english for other occasion . but their meaning be always clear from the context and choreography . marigold be a very satisfying romantic comedy yes and there be quite a bit of humor a well in it . the indian location and costume give it a fairy tale quality and befit a story which can be liken to a modern fairy tale . if you be or have be curious about indian cinema and but be hesitant to try it and this be an excellent introduction . it capture the color and vibrancy of indian film and not only in the costume and jewelry ( which be quite impressive ) and but also in the lively dance and world sound music . if you be a fan of ali larter and you should watch it for her excellent acting in portray a selfish and demand and high maintanance woman who nevertheless have an inner attraction that inspire the love of two men . if you be a girl and you will enjoy admire ali lovely costume and ogle her hunk of a lead man . if you be a guy and you can not only admire ali in her sexy costume and but learn from salman khan what it take to bring out the love heart even from someone as edgy a marigold .
