If you are a Hollywood Freak it wont take you much long to make out that the plot of London Dreams is adopted from the famous Oscar award winning movie - Amadeus. No matter how hard Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan try in London Dreams they are nowhere close to Salieri and Mozart in Amadeus.
The movie is erratically paced . After a low start the movie is rushed . However with absence of a good screenplay this hardly matters to the audience. The screenplay is better only in the second half with rivalry of Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan. The rivalry is well portrayed and contrast in characters is successfully depicted. London Dreams tries to gain audience sympathy for Salman Khan's Character.
Vipul Shah adds profound depth to the drama and the sensitivity in his direction makes you relate to the conflicts of both the characters convincingly. Thankfully the rivalry is more musically-driven over their contention for the same girl, thereby avoiding the tendency of the narrative to take shape of a conventional love triangle. But for a film which essentially works for the intensity of its drama, the end of London Dreams is too conveniently designed.
Vipul Shah has succeeded as a director to make a deep and sensitive movie. The movie is much more than a love triangle whith both Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan wooing the same girl Asin thanks to the well directed rivalry. The end of London Dreams however ends in pretty much an ordinary manner.
The magical trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy do complete justice to London Dreams which has music as its central theme. The background music by Salim-Sulaiman compliments the movie extremely well. The cinematography by Sejal Shah is a treat for eyes. The production has ensured a high quality for London Dreams.
London Dreams is recommended only if you enjoy movie without expecting too much from it.
