this might contain spoilers - not really - but just wanted it said...
I have to agree with a lot of what has been commented already:
BUT:
Let me explain: the reason why there was hardly any storyline was, that the only purpose of the main-storyline was, to bind the various sub-stories together! The whole idea of the movie was to show the various aspects of Love, the various shades of Love and also the various emotions of Love. With it a whole barrage of decisions in life in regards to Love:
the last one being more of a joke, but how could you leave out "making love" when you do a Tribute to Love? and after all they will be in the Tunnel of Love.
a lot of the scenes ended up being very symbolic: How many bridges do you have to cross in life?
What really comes out from Thazeebs story is the pain and anguish that one can go thru because of love... when it seems that there neither is a tomorrow nor today without the one you truly love.
In the end all that comes to mind is: - does love pay off?
It turns out that Love always finds a way, and to that: Salaam e Ishq!
I have to agree with a lot of what has been commented already:
- yes, there barely is any main story-line
- yes, the movie was too long
- yes, they should have cut some stuff between 2:20h and 3:40h as it drags along; maybe indeed some of the "song"-parts (if you can call them that) that were just basically slide-shows between the different couples
- yes, this wasn't Salman Khans best performance
BUT:
- yes, this was a great Tribute to Love!
- and yes, Govinda, Akshay, John and Anil were a pleasure to watch

- am I going for my career, or am I going for a lifetime-partner?
- am I going to leave my wife, because marriage has gotten stale?
- am I going to marry, albeit that I enjoy being a bachelor?
- am I going to stay unmarried, if my partner doesn't want to marry?
- am I going to chase after my partner, when (s)he decides to marry someone else?
- am I going to help someone I love, to get married to someone else?
- am I going to let go, when my partner has amnesia and doesn't remember me anymore?
- AND: am I going to get laid after the wedding? ;-)
