From Sydney With Love Movie Reviews

Rope, no hope. An overwrought girl is just about to hang herself from a ceiling fan, when this dude walks into the room, looks at her coolly and asks, “Wassup?” Ha, ha that’s a genuinely funny moment, and mercy be, there’s more such wacko humour in this West Bengal-Sydney-West Bengal love story. Actually the Australian hopover is totally redundant; all the fun-’n’-drama kick off only when the camera returns to home soil. If zoo vistas of kangaroos and koala bears

Overall, ‘From Sydney with Love’ is meant for the takers of simple and idealistic romance. The makers don’t fancy to develop a new love theorem and remains within the comfort zone. Though unnecessary melodrama hampers the pace of the film, still it appeals due to the efforts put in by the newcomers.

Hard to digest — even with those great Aussie shots, gaana shaana, typical Indianisms, a couple of not-so-bad jokes — considering the cast is all young. Sure we can do better next time.

DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE continues to magnetize spectators and film-makers alike. Whether one acknowledges it or not, the Aditya Chopra movie remains a focal point for most raconteurs, inspiring film-makers of all generations. The Chopra scion may/may not feel flattered, but let's not overlook the fact that every film cannot attain the cult status of D.D.L.J. either. Pramod Chakravorty's illustrious banner made several significant films that were well appreciated by moviegoers

There is a serious malaise affecting most newbie directors in Bollywood. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge's charm just refuses to wear off for this particular crop of filmmakers who seem determined to pay homage to the film and to the director Aditya Chopra. While they are having fun, the dialogues which made youngsters swoon two decades ago now send the audience into a state of chronic fatigue. So when I, a viewer is subjected to the hackneyed line

Though From Sydney With Love takes you to Australia and back, the journey is barely memorable. The plot ultimately enters a college with a bunch of Indian students coming from different background. What follows is a series of inevitable melodrama due to a predictable love triangle and several futile attempts at capturing the audiences’ attention. There are moments when only the foreign locales soothe your eyes. In terms of humour, Prateek’s character is funny and a far cry

FROM SYDNEY WITH LOVE is loaded with newcomers, bad acting and also a plot so convoluted and nonsensical you wonder how something like this can be converted into a full-fledged movie. It's about a Bengali girl who is on her way to Sydney, Australia, to study. Her mother is worried that she may go 'off track' once exposed to the western culture, while her father trusts her completely. Once there, she runs into three boys, one after another, and all manage to befriend her

With a running time of two hours and eighteen minutes, this one is best avoided. Do gift the DVD to friends whom you never want to meet again. Hopefully they’ll get the hint….
