The Plot
Arjun works his way up from the London streets to form a rock band with two other friends. Priya and Mannu join in, and Mannu's phenomenal talent makes the band an instant hit. He has implicit faith in his friend Arjun. Arjun resents the success that eluded him for a long time, before Mannu takes the band to new heights. Their internal dynamics culminate during a three city tour. Arjun is jealous of the popularity of his band's star performer and plots his downfall.
A Love Triangle
Priya's love is another bone of contention between the two friends. Mannu proposes to Priya (Asin) on first sight and is turned down as she does not take him seriously, but he goes on to play a pivotal role in her life. To complicate matters, Arjun secretly loves Priya.
A Vipul Shah Presentation
Expecations run high after his last hit Namaste London starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. The breezy romantic comedy based in the Punjab and London established one of the most sought after pairs in Bollywood. Although it was criticized for its stereotypes, the famous Akshay Katrina chemistry came to the forefront.
Blue, All the Best
London Dreams will face competition from Diwali releases. Blue ( Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta) had an excellent start all over. The underwater action thriller had breathtaking stunts and cinematography, but critical response was unfavorable with few exceptions. Main aur Mrs Khanna (Kareena Kapoor, Salman Khan) met with little critical and commercial success. Of the three, the comedy All the Best, also an Ajay Devgan starrer received the best reviews and went on to catch up with Blue at the box office.
Asin
According to reports, Asin (who plays Priya) will get a chance to display her classical dance skills as she plays a traditional South Indian woman trained in Carnatic and Bharatnatyam, who secretly longs to be a rock star. Much is expected from this South Indian beauty who made a sensational debut in the biggest blockbuster in recent years, Aamir Khan's Ghajini. She will shed her girl next door image to don rock star garb.
