Plot[edit]
The film, as its name implies, centers on Gurneal 'Neal' Ahluwalia (Uday Chopra) and Nikita 'Nikki' Bakshi (Tanisha Mukherjee), two Canadians of Punjabi descent, born and raised in British Columbia. But Neal and Nikki are different in many ways.
Before getting married Neal wants to spend 21 days on vacation with 21 women. On his way, he meets Nikki in a club, where Neal is with his date Kristi. Nikki gets drunk and starts dancing. Neal leaves his date and takes Nikki to a hotel where he watches T.V. while Nikki falls asleep. The next morning, Nikki thinks that Neal raped her when he didn't. She uses this to blackmail him all the time. Nikki interrupts his romantic meetings with other women from time to time, including once when Nikki interrupts Neal while he is having sex with another woman.
When Neal tells Nikki the truth why he is in Canada, she gets mad and dumps him. Nikki then takes Neal to a resort town Whistler promising that she will make him meet other girls there. In reality, her ex-boyfriend Trish is there with his girlfriend Amanda, and she wants to make him jealous. When Neal learns this, he doesn't agree but eventually does. They are successful in making Trish jealous. He tells Nikki that he wants her back, but she dumps him. They later spend a night together at a campsite but are unable to express their love to each other.
Neal then returns since it is time for his wedding. Later he finds out that the girl to whom he is to be engaged, Sweety (Richa Pallod), is Nikki's cousin. At the engagement ceremony just when Nikki is approaching to stop the engagement, it is revealed that Nikki's cousin had exchanged vows on the internet with her true love Happy Singh (Gaurav Gera). Sweety proceeds to run away with Happy, while Neal proposes to Nikki because they realise that they are meant for each other.
Original casting[edit]
Ayesha Takia was offered the role of Nikki, but she refused because of the intimate scenes.

Just my two cents

Tanisha is too loud and exaggerated to thicken a weak plot. Uday Chopra is more than just disappointing.
Pre-marital sex is an over-talked issue which went looking too naive for the duo to pull it off well. Everything else about the story is too repetitive and too cliché to make any prominent difference to the movie , which starts stumbling in the first few minutes.
Songs seem to have been hummed too much. Lyrics are not worth getting tuned.
If there is any high point in the movie, may be its just the scenic beauty but then i would rather pay a hefty amount and visit Britain than spend hours watching a sad attempt at romance!
The freshness and the feel good effect of the yesteryear Yash Chopra mushy flicks have lost their color and charm in the crowd of new comers expecting the costly sets and the music set up to help them climb the ladders of fame!
It doesn't work anymore!

The film itself needs to be broken down in order to be appreciated.
First of all this film is NOT for the old generation of Bollywood film goers. To translate this into a Hollywood comparisons it would be American Pie meets a love story.
Secondly the acting is terrible, but the roles are so unique that i couldn't think of other actors to pull it off. Tanisha and Uday create believable annoying roles, but they slowly by the end of the film find a place in your heart where you can understand where they are in their life. I thought Tanisha was annoying at first, but by the end i realized that i for the first time knew a character not an actress. The reason is I know this is not how Tanisha acts on her day to day routines, she filled the role of a perky 20 year old well.
Third, the songs are brilliant. Yeah i agree that the film presented them a bit weakly;however, the songs are amazing. A great fusion of west meets east in i'm in love, Neal n Nikki is the most kiddiest song but is hummed almost immediately after the film is over, ahk ladiya is a fantastic Punjabi song, and halla re has great music. I thoroughly enjoyed the way they parodied old Indian movies in 'im in love' thus proving that this movie is for a new generation.
So if you can over the taboo dialouge, and cheesy but cute plot line, Neal n Nikki is naughty and nice!!! I loved it, cause of it's character.it was definitely not run of the mill.and thats why i liked it.

Unfortunately they are portraying a wrong picture and setting a bad example for the youngsters. Tanisha is shown drinking from a bottle, or taking shots of tequila about 5-6 times in the movie. The director does not even acknowledge she is an alcoholic and has a drinking problem. All through the movie she only wears bikini tops whether she is at work, at a beach or at a wedding. The heroine of the movie doing this makes the youngsters feel this behaviour is acceptable.
The less that is said about failure of Uday Chopra doing Shahrukh Khan's DDLJ role of arrogant girl-chaser, the better. The movie is about equality of sexes. But equality should not be about making the same mistakes, instead about doing the right to do the right thing. If men have been shown as chronic Casanovas in movies, does not mean women should also portray same behaviour.
Even though the movie is made in light-hearted fun spirit, it promotes so many wrong social notions in the name of being forward, that 'fun' part of the movie makes no impact. Not even in Canada women dress like this, or guys behave like they have shown in the movie. It is certainly not a reflection of Indian society or even Canadian society. Perhaps they should have a disclaimer at the beginning stating, 'All characters and events in the movie are imaginary and do not reflect the actual culture of the cities and countries mentioned in the film.' The only good thing about this movie is the length, 1.5 hrs, thank god.

This is by far, the most, trashy, sexual, eyebrow-raising movie I have ever seen by Yash Raj Films. I cringe for them, I really do. Along with the terrible acting (or NO acting, for that matter) by Uday Chopra, combined with the lack of talent of the 'Look At My Boobs' Tanisha, Neal 'n' Nikki has not one good thing about it at all. Even the music is not upto the standard left by YRF. The director, Arjun Sablok, did an embarrassingly bad job here.
Honestly, I expected more. Much, much more.

The title song takes place in Victoria..I love that song. There is a scene at the Camosun College (I went there, the best two years of my life) I believe not to mention Bastion Square and Victoria's scenic inner harbor.
I hope more people decide to holiday in British Columbia. Vancouver is a wonderful diverse city. That is why I am proud to be Canadian and very lucky to be surrounded in a multicultural environment. The world comes to Vancouver there is no need to search for anything.
Neal and Nikki was a cool and hip movie. A friend commented on how Nikki looks Italian. Also many of my friends saw the actual shooting.
The actress who played the lawyer actually talked to a friend of mine. Blenz is another popular coffee chain besides the obvious Starbucks.
I just got back from the VPL (Vancouver Public Library) where that particular coffee shop is..and I read a back issue of Filmfare (march 2006 and I read a bad review of this movie). That is what prompted me to write this!!!
In defense of Neal AND Nikki. Many points to make..First of all like every Hindi movie has stereotypes and this one is no exception but there were a lot of truths in this movie. One general is that all girls liked to be serenaded too, that takes a lot of guts. Another truth is that people deal with breakups in different ways..Nikki's was drinking while the Lawyer had relationships on her own terms. This is Canada and you have a choice. The most general truth is the Punjabi stereotype of Nikki and her cousin. The last song with all three of them was nice, it was so funny when Neal tells Nikki he is going to make her dance at his wedding. They were both so stubborn.
As far as exposure all actresses have been exposing, normally people do not walk around here with their navel exposed even in the summer. When non Indians watch some Indian dancing they blush, for me it is common way to dance because I grew up watching Hindi movies and English.
I have learned to appreciate foreign films from the friends I have made from different countries who come to Canada for school etc.. Nikki looked cute not vulgar. Neal looked hot. Uday has been working out and it shows, it showed in his first movie Mohabbatein. I saw that in theaters in 2000.
All the songs in the movie are catchy. The director did an excellent job it is too bad that some people do not appreciate Canada. Vancouver is Hollywood north, I know actors that will be famous one day!
Vancouver is always being made into America (as in Pardes). Pardes was shot at UBC, the part where she is giving her speech about 'I love my India' At least in this movie Vancouver was given its due credit. The movie was awesome enough said.

This movie works on so many levels. First, the skin show is spectacular, every girl in this movie is absolutely stunning, esp Ms. Tanisha who has body for days and the cutest facial expressions.
The acting in this movie should be taken for what it is supposed to be, dorky, stupid and fun. And for that Uday Chopra carries this movie so that you couldn't imagine anyone else being able to play this role.
The Story works well, nothing is expected, up until the very end.
The songs are very catchy and will have you wanting to buy the CD. Normally English/Hindi songs sound very hackneyed and chopped together, but the songs flow well and are very refreshing.
Perhaps one of the best movies i have ever seen, not met a girl who wasn't jealous of it nor a guy who didn't love it.

All I can say is go out and check it out. Yash Chopra and Arjun Sablok keep them coming and don't let some of these people cast a black cloud over the movie.

Yash Chopra must have gone out and gotten every swimsuit model in Canada for this movie. It's built entirely as a vehicle for his son, but surprisingly about half of the movie is extremely watchable and even well shot, performed and scripted. The movie opens with Neal (Uday Chopra) as a young man from a rich family in Canada, who's about to get married. He decides to go to Vancouver to enjoy his last few days of freedom and decides to meet as many girls as he can before the wedding.
Enter Tanisha as Nikki. She opens the film as an exaggerated Indian version of the morally bankrupt Westernized female, drinking alcohol, being sexually forwards etc. The movie is rather up-front about pre-marital sex, and even throws in a few kisses between the leads (those villagers must be going crazy in India over this). They go through some unusual love story troubles in which both sides are revealed to be dishonest about their true intentions, realize by the end that the other is indeed awesome enough to marry.
The acting is not Oscar worthy. Chopra comes off as too metrosexual on film (disturbing amounts of lip gloss/lipstick), and seems too short even by film standards. Tanisha's not bad, but is outshined by a swimsuit model. I found myself actually shouting at the TV 'Give the model a bigger role,' and it seemed Yash heard me and we were given Amanda (Serinda Swan). I guarantee a million Indians were on the Internet searching for her pictures after seeing this movie. Music's decent. Chopra could have spent a week more on the script as some dialogue is clunky and some obvious punch lines missed.
Overall: A fun, yet uneven movie aimed squarely at NRIs and will most likely be doomed to comparisions with the far better Dil Chathai Hai.
On a side note: the character Happy is by far the most ridiculous yet sublime musician I've ever seen in cinema. He truly shows us all how to rock while holding a mandolin, and ends up not only with groupies but a bangingly hot fiancé.
