About Namastey London

Like Kumar said, the film became memorable for its heartwarming plotline, characters, songs and iconic moments. One of the scenes that might come to mind is the scene where Akshay's character praises India in front of a British man who tries to put down his motherland. Akshay's character humbles the white man with solid facts that speak about India's diversity and cultural richness. The monologue was a massive hit back then and one of the highlights about the film. 

Released in 2007, Namastey London also stars Rishi Kapoor, Nina Wadia, Javed Sheikh, Upen Patel and Clive Staden. Riteish Deshmukh appears in a cameo role in the film. The music of the film was composed by Himesh Reshmamiya and included songs like 'Chaka Chakna', 'Dilruba, 'Main Hagaan Rahoon', 'Viraaniyan', and more. 

The film revolves around  Punjab-born Arjun Singh (Akshay Kumar) who is set up with Jasmeet 'Jazz' Malhotra (Katrina Kaif). Jazz was raised in London by her Indian-born parents. But when it comes to her marriage, her father (Rishi Kapoor) tricks her into visiting India for the first time, only to get her married to a Punjabi boy. Jazz gets furious but instead of going against her father's wishes in a foreign land she finds a legal loophole. 

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. However, over a period of time, Jazz meets the real Arjun Singh and her perception about him changes with time.
