Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta ’s fourth movie together, Salaam Namaste, is a romantic comedy set in Australia.The movie marks the directorial debut of Siddharth Anand, who assisted Kunal Kohli in "Hum Tum".Salaam Namaste is about two young people in love-n-fight relationship with each other.
The movie has been shot extensively in Melbourne, Australia.Saif plays Nick, a head Chef in a famous restaurant named ‘Nick of Time’ in Melbourne. A laidback man with an easygoing attitude, Nick came from Ludhiana as Nikhil Arora. Nick hates waking up early in the morning. His only passion is to cook, party and to live life free of any commitments.
Ambar Malhotra (Preity) came from Bangalore to Melbourne to study medicine. But the major reason for her love towards Melbourne is that she doesn’t have to keep meeting suitors that her parents back home want her to marry. She works part-time as a radio jockey at the radio station, ‘Salaam Namaste’, where she gets to interview Indians living in Melbourne.
As the movie’s story goes, Nick is invited to one of Ambar’s shows. But, being the easygoing man that he is, Nick oversleeps and misses the interview. A furious Ambar decides to teach him a lesson or two in punctuality. Despite their contrastingly different views on many things, Nick and Ambar are drawn to each other. But as they don't want to rush into a serious romantic relationship, they begin to live together. They share the same apartment but sleep in different rooms.
The problems arise when Ambar gets pregnant and Nick finds himself unprepared for such an occurrence. He wants her to abort the child while she intends keeping it. The differences keep growing until they decide to go on with their individual lives. However, circumstances compel them to continue living in the same house. Salaam Namaste is the story of loving, separating and then realizing love once again.
It's easy to fall in love. But to share a life with someone is a different ball game altogether. Slowly, this truth dawns on the duo as the tender moments they share begin to get punctuated by petty squabbles. Would this love story have a happy ending?
