Never before have the sun and the moon played such an important role in romance. What's Your Raashee? is the story of Yogesh Patel, a young man who in his heart has always wanted a love marriage. Till suddenly he is told that he must find his dream girl within ten days to save his family from utter ruin. Finding the dream girl is tough enough. Finding her in a hurry is even tougher. His solution is simple; he will meet one girl from each raashee – sun sign, as he feels that is the best way to make sure he finds a suitable wife, while also giving himself twelve chances to fall in love. Two meetings per day gives him six days to meet them, three days to make a final decision and he can get married on the tenth day, or so he thinks. Based on the Gujarati novel Kimball Ravenswood by Madhu Rye, What's Your Raashee? is Ashutosh Gowariker's first romantic comedy, starring Harman Baweja and Priyanka Chopra, and is produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Sunita A. Gowariker.

Gateway drug movie to Bollywood
Mom and I can't get enough of this movie. And they speak enough English in it that even my eye-rolling extended family members borrow it from time to time. This is the only title they borrow from me, though. They still can't sit through a movie that's all in Hindi.

VERY creative but too long.
I think this movie is great. The fact that each encounter with a woman of each rashee exposes all facets of arranged marriage meetings from hilarious, to serious, to absolutely gut-wrenching. Its very clear about the secrets, the politics, and even the odd vulnerability of meeting people in such a situation. Furthermore, there is a great deal of creativity. It is very clear every star sign was studied very carefully and each woman creatively adheres to the profiles but still feels like a real person. Its touching and very VERY creative. I think what kept this from being a hit is the length. The sacrifice of a good number of detailed scenes may have kept sitting through that long of a movie more bearable.

Good movie, but no subtitles for the songs
I really like this movie and I think it's a cute take on astrology and match making. However, I am disappointed in this subtitled version. The same film was on Netflix awhile ago, and has now since rotated out, but all the songs had subtitles. This version has no subtitles for songs which is upsetting since I think the words add to the overall storyline and the ultimate decision of the main character. Can someone please fix this lack of subtitles during songs, please?

Fabulous! Even for an NRI like me!
Thank God.. I mean Thank Krishna for Netflix.. Otherwise, I would have never found this movie. I AM NOT of Indian/Hindu culture and to be frankly honest, this is my first full length bollywood movie. I loved it! The story is great, it has it's funny moments, the costumes are fantastic, I LOVE the songs, and the actors are great to watch and it helps that they are both good looking people. I highly recommend watching this movie, I see alot of reviews commenting on the length of the film, I enjoyed it so much that I didn't even noticed!!

This movie is pretty good, a bit of a different take on ...
This movie is pretty good, a bit of a different take on the typical boy meets girl for shaadi plots. I fast forwarded through a few of the song and dance numbers that dragged on a bit. The ending wasn't entirely predictable. It would have been better if the songs had been subtitled along with the rest of the movie. If I could I'd give it a 3.5.

A good movie with clean fun.
India is - for lack of a better word - superstitious society. People take clues from fortune tellers about their life, worship animals and shun humans.this Movie is a 'humor' about the weaknesses of Indian society - and is a 'clean' movie - something of a rarity for 'bollywood' to deliver these days.

I love this movie so much!
I just recently started getting really into bollywood films. I'm very into astrology and learning about the sun signs, so I thought this would be a perfect watch..And it is! The songs are all so catchy, I even downloaded some of them to my ipod. & Priyanka Chopra (the main actress) is so wonderful and does such a great job at representing each of the signs. It's very cute, funny, and a fantastic watch.It is very long, but I think it's worth it. (:

BIG Priyanka Chopra fan😃
OMG, I love Priyanka Chopra! This movie had 12 versions of her. The DVD was full of extra features. I particularly loved the music videos with English translation. I saw it on my prime account several times, and had to have it! Harman was pretty good too. Predictable story, but I wondered in the end, which Priyanka character was going to be chosen.
