She dances like a Dolphin making love to the seductive sea. He dotes on her like a wave aching to kiss the shore. Togther they swim, drown, rise and shine brightly like a new born Day. Salsa is a musical ebulliance of the Body Language of Romance. And it leaves you with a spring in your feet.
The story line is sketchy. No great shakes. For he is a French classical pianist bitten by the mainstream bug. She is a simple girl with not-so-huge dreams and is gifted with golden locks that spread fragrance of brilliance. As it is meant to happen, providence brings them together. Or rather Salsa brings them together for he poses to be a Cuban Dance teacher with that mean-n-sensuous Latin streak.
Their gracious dance is like the bliss exemplified by Ustad Zakir Hussain’s face in the middle of a concert. The bodies woven togther by a common thread, a thread of a lifelong bond. But the sad part is that the story moves forward in a very linear fashion. Very expected. Rather predictable. Infact the later half seems a straight lift from a Hindi Masala flick. Brothers lost in Kumbh mela stuff, the rona dhona, the Milan etc etc. Need I say more!
Salsa is very much watchable for some exquisite dance sequences which sadly don’t last that long. The music is Refreshingly Young and spicy. The lead pair look a good couple. The chemistry part comes across Naturally and Endearingly. The ending as expected is a happy one. Trust me, for you shall feel for once as if you are watching some ’’Yaadon ki Barat’’ or a ’’Qayamat se Qayamat tak’’. Just joking! But true.
Enjoy Salsa for its unadulterated Fun!
