rlprior Superb cast of professional actors, the music blended with a serious message.This movie had humour, pathos and a wide array emotions. Captivated an audience across several generations.This is not a movie for Marvel fans. Enjoyable light entertainment with a good musical balance, with light romance, evil scheming and conjoined with the serious issue of GM seeds. Genetically modified crops are good for Monsanto but not for the farmers. A salutory message encapsulated in quality entertainment.
dmisaacson History is chock-full of examples of well-meaning American technocrats going to other countries to "help"... and in the process helping to destroy that country's culture and economy. Here is a film that tackles that phenomenon head-on, but does so within the frothy and mirthful form of a rom-com musical. The results, bubbling with references to Kurt Vonnegut, Arundhati Roy, and Bollywood -- defy cookie-cutter expectations of the genre. The entire Indian and American cast is all-in. In a just world this film would launch Utkarsh Ambudkar as a top Hollywood comic leading man. And in a just world, American technocrats would learn the lesson that it is perhaps better to simply embrace a foreign culture than to try to "save" it.
mailrasyiddin Well it's entertaining,the songs is well composed brie and the other cast do it great. I love The story line.. it's quite unexpected. I enjoy this movie, to people who like musical movie i think you should probably watch it, not recommended for you who like action movies because this movie might make you boring and doesn't contain any action scenes
jostannie Same old same old I'm afraid. Go out and have a curry instead of watching this rubbish.
