    An interesting movie!! This is the story of a woman who travels to India for a movie, and discovers not only herself but love. As she redefines concepts of life, she realizes that her heart desires more than just happiness. Great cast- Salman Khan, Ali Larter, Suchitra Pillai-Mal...( read more)ik, and Nadana Sen. Great performances by Ali Larter and Salman Khan. Great music. Definitely worthy!

    I bought this on a DVD because it was so cheap so I didn't expect this to be a special movie but the story sounded perfect - a romantic comedy in Bollywood style. I loved Bride and Prejudice with Indian dancing, music and dresses so I thought I'd love this one too and I really di...( read more)d like it. I loved the woman played by Ali Larter because she was so unfriendly and straightforward and said everything what she was thinking. She was rude, pissed off and upset like I am. Haha. ^__^

    In India this American B-movie actress meets an Indian choreographer who changes her charachter for the better. She gets a role from an Indian musical and learns to dance and express her feelings through dancing. Ok, enough about the plot, don't want to reveal everything. ;) This movie really isn't so bad and the Indian actor's eyes and smile are charming.

    The basic plot of ‘Marigold’ boasts of a romantic comedy which was not able leave an impact on viewers.Actingwise, Salman delivers of his most amateurish performances till date. Ali Larter is good and has immense screen presence. Performance wise too, she is good.Musically, Marigold turns out to be a dud.
