The box office collections of Namaste England have been pretty low. The film, which released three days back, stars Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra in the lead roles. Namste England released along with Badhaai Ho, which is doing comparatively very well at the ticket windows. As per reports on Bollywoodhungama, Arjun and Parineeti's latest movie has garnered Rs 5.75 crore. While fans were looking forward to see the Ishaqzaade pair onscreen once again, looks like they have failed to create the same magic this time. Namaste England Movie Review: Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra Slog Through This Abysmally Weird Recycling of Namastey London.
Directed by Vipul Shah, Namaste England is the sequel to Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer Namaste London, which still continues to be one of our favourites. LatestLY movie critic Sreeju Sudhakaran had this to say about Namaste England: "Arjun Kapoor is quite earnest in a role that he can now play in his sleep (In some scenes, I thought he was sleep-walking). I have no clue why Parineeti took up this role, that offers her so little respite, especially since she took on a similar role in Meri Pyaari Bindu. She is good, but her character motivations are all over the place. At least, both Arjun and Parineeti make a fine pair on screen."
"After watching the trailer, if you had the feeling that Namaste England is no great shakes, then pat your own back for that Nostradamic insight! For this movie is a just a weirdly recycled take on its predecessor, with an affinity for randomness. Watch it at your own risk!"
