Marigold is not your typical Bollywood masala movie; it's a straight-up romance with a couple of beautiful song and dance scenes. What makes this movie worth watching is Marigold's growth and Prem's gentleness. Ali Larter does an amazing job starting as a complete b****, but taken out of her comfort zone and dependant on the graciousness of Indian culture, let's her find who she wants to be. Salman Khan is at his sweetest best in this film - gentle and gracious, honest and straightforward, and a little vulnerable. No, he doesn't lose his shirt in this one and there are no fight scenes (like I said, not masala). The end is predictable and a bit drawn out, but sweet nonetheless. If you are interested in Indian culture and movies but struggle with subtitles (never do dubbed, you lose so much that way), start with Marigold and Bride and Prejudice.
