mmsrt1997 This movie was definitely released 2-3 years early, if it was released in 2015 or so then the movie would have done much better. Ajay Devgn looks like the only miscast as he looks too old for his character, but his brilliant acting covers it up. Asin, Aditya Roy Kapoor and Ranvijay Singh support their leads well in taking the story ahead. But Salman Khan's performance and the story are the real winners. The Story brilliantly shows themes like jealousy, trust, conspiracy and drug addiction in artist. It is really difficult to see how this movie was not appreciated. Going to Salman Khan, he has recently received a lot of criticism for his same over the top characters but what would one do after not getting appreciated despite giving such an excellent performance as Manu. His portrayal of a villager becoming a star is great but the drug addiction scenes are something we have never seen from Salman as he takes them to the next level. Direction was also very good and the unexpected end is something people didn't appreciate in 2009 as Indian audiences love happy ends. But the end was something the story deserved as it showed us how betrayal can't always win you dreams.

arundathi Story: Ajay Devgan, a man with a big dream, is joined by three people who become his band members. His best friend, Salman Khan, enters, threatening to destroy Ajay's biggest achievement. How Ajay handles this challenge forms the rest of the story.Analysis:Characters:Ajay Devgan, as the main protagonist, seems a bit old for this role but nevertheless does justice. He is neither portrayed as a hero nor villain but as an ordinary man who believes in hard work and dedication to work his way up the ladder. His character represents the motto: "You can achieve anything if you put your mind to it". Salman Khan, as the friend, is jovially and carefree. He represents the minority of people who have talent without effort. His soft nature is contrasted with Ajay's hard one, giving a ying-yang feel. As a actor, Salman was amazing, easily stealing Ajay's thunder.Asin plays a girl from a strict Iyer family, who loves dancing. Her character was unnecessary as it was not properly etched out. As a backup dancer, she easily could have just been a random person getting some camera attention. Her presence was overshadowed by both Ajay's and Salman's relationship, making her forgettable. Rannvijay Singh Singha & Aditya Roy Kapur are brothers in the movie who parallel Ajay and Salman's relationship. Their characters reinforce the struggle between Ajay and Salman. Both were good, with one sharing the same dreams as Ajay and the other trying to hold the band together. Like Asin, they were not necessary to the script. They did not add any substance.Om Puri plays Ajay's uncle, is also seen as the man with wisdom. He is a voice that guides Ajay throughout his journey. He does not add anything to the film. Storyline/Screenplay: The concept was good. It was something different and the emotions raw. There were some scenes that showed what humans, in order to remove perceived obstacles, are capable of.Songs: The songs by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy were another highlight of the film. Soft rock mixed with different styles of music really showcased the talent of the trio. It proves that not every song has to be romantic to be a hit. A couple of minor nuance was that sometimes Salman and Ajay were not in sync when singing at the concerts (maybe it was the copy) and sometimes the voices between the two would change even though the background singer was the same. Other Technical Aspects: The direction was done beautifully, the editing good. Cinematography was amazing. All three aspects really captured the emotions that were portrayed. The movie was fast-paced and cleanly portrayed the struggles, both emotionally and physically, between all the actors. Final Product: This movie was good but has a selective audience.

Murli This movie is awful- it really is. And so unrealistic. How does a guy go from being a street performer to suddenly creating a sudden rock concert in Trafalgar Square and then getting a multi city tour with no exposure or experience and getting a swanky apartment.If the story is unbelievable the acting is even worse. Ajay Devgan doesn't look like a rock star- he can barely dance and yet he's supposed to be a music God. And then you have Salman Khan- a man with so much natural musical talent which he ignores in order to womanize his way through life. His acting is supremely bad- the scene where he goes through the metal detector screeching like a retarded hyena was so annoying that I can't understand how it could pass for comedy.This is a terrible movie that has only one conclusion: don't watch and if you're given a copy throw it away...or burn it.

M MALIK London Dreams came out it 2009 with cast like Ajay Devgan,Salman Khan & Asin.this is one movie that you will enjoy watching a time pass musical/romantic/love/friendship drama that don't look too good but not bad either.its a balanced movie but lots some points from critics & peoplea story of a career of a man who make a band called London dream with his childhood friend & then their comes some hate & jealousy there.overall its a nice movie to enjoy.the soundtrack was great by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.7/10
