Bride & Prejudice

A Bollywood update of Jane Austen's classic tale, in which Mrs. Bakshi is eager to find suitable husbands for her four unmarried daughters.

What did I just watch? The movie mainly had to do with a rich American man named William Darcy and a Indian girl named Lalita. The movie started in India where William and his friend were attending a wedding. This is where they first meet, and the first encounter wasn't very good.Following this Lalita didn't have a view of William until the end of the movie. The rest of the movie had to do with their love journey and how the will fall in love. This was one of the least favorite movies I have ever seen. I am a newbie when it comes to watching Bollywood movies. But if they're all like this I think I will stick to Hollywood movies. I thought the acting was OK but most of the scene were just cringe worthy.Also the one actor who sounded like a donkey was not entertaining, he was just very annoying and I wish they realizes how annoying that actually was. The plot was OK but very predictable the two people who don't like each other end up falling in love. Very original. I never want to hear another Bollywood song ever again. All the songs beside my lips are waiting were just awful. No Life without Wife made me want to be deaf. I was like listening to Rebeca black's Friday, that's how bad it was. Also it didn't look like they were trying to lip sync it was very obvious they were not singing. Also they had so many pointless songs that we could have gone without. The dances were pretty cool, I liked them for the most part except the snake dance. That made me want to hit my forehead with my palm. But the opening dance was the best part of the entire movie. It had a good start just to crash land. If only the movie was ten minutes long. The sets were pretty cool they one of the only bright spots in a horrible movie.The costumes look very authentic to what you would see in a Bollywood film. I would call this movie more Bollywood because American movies don't have horrendous songs every ten minutes that are really pointless. And the story line was so predictable, in a American movie there would have been a plot twist.What Cultural elements i learned about Indian parents are they gold diggers who just are looking out for them and don't care about what there kids think. Just about how much money the husband has. Also how bad it must feel to be in the kids situation being forced to marry someone that they barely met and know almost nothing about them. Another thing I learned was how uncommon it is for Indian to marry someone of a different ethnicity. They want their grandchildren to be traditional Indians. Also I learned that if you are younger you can't marry until the eldest has married. So if they don't' want to get married you are out of luck. Overall I learned a lot about Indian culture but It was such a bad movie.

When marriage has two different meanings, Lalita and Darcy have trouble with love. Mrs. Bakshi wants nothing more for her four daughters than a rich husband of her choosing, but when her two eldest play by their own rules, trouble stirs. The oldest sister, Jaya, falls in love with an Indian man who lives in London named Balraj, who brought along a friend, Will Darcy. Lalita, the second oldest, caught Darcy's eye the moment he saw her. However, coming from two different cultures, they find themselves in multiple disagreements. With Lalita's mother trying to set her up with Mr. Kholi, Johnny Wickham showing up and charming the sisters, and Darcy trying to win her over, it is hard for Lalita to know what or who she wants. Personally, I loved the film. I'm a sucker for cheesy love stories.I thought Bride and Prejudice was a great film to introduce me to Bollywood. Aside from the love story, the song and dance numbers were my favorite part. The song "Marriage has Come to Town" had an amazing set and such intricate costumes that could draw anyone's eyes. Not to mention the incredibly quick and sharp dance moves. Watching this crossover Bollywood film actually made me want to watch more, full-on Bollywood movies. The one critique I have is that the actors need to practice their lip-syncing because that was not so great. Overall, Bride and Prejudice is a great Bollywood introductory film.Although the plot was a basic, cheesy, love story, there was a lot that could be learned from the film. Indian culture was very prominent in this film, more specifically, their values of marriage. In India, arranged marriages are very common. It is likely that the parents will find their child a suitor who the parents think they will later on (in the marriage) fall in love with. Whereas, in America, it is most common to fall in love and then get married. Mrs. Bakshi wanted Lalita to marry Mr. Kholi, a rich Indian who lives in America and could provide her with a beautiful home. Lalita, on the other hand, wanted her parents to have nothing to do with her marriage, she wanted to find love on her own like an American. Another value learned is family. Family will always come first in India, especially with the Bakshi family. When Lachi left with Wickham, Lalita did everything in her power to search for her and save her from what could have been done to her. Adding on to that, Mr. Bakshi wanted to keep his four daughters close when they married so marrying a man who didn't live in India was unsettling to him. We can also learn how important India is to its natives. Tourists tend to see the beautiful, rich, Americanized side of India, when in reality most of India is not very "upper-class", but the natives appreciate it. When Darcy claims to have seen the real India Lalita is the first to step up and prove him wrong, showing him how he's only seen what he's wanted to see, not what was truly there.

Creating a modern-day Bollywood version of "Pride and Prejudice" was a novel idea and was always going to be a challenging enterprise and director Gurinda Chandha deserves great credit for attempting to try to do so. What she produces is a worthwhile product with some great flaws The movie is to be credited for seeking to introduce western audiences to Bollywood entertainment and I like that that the film incorporates most of the traditional aspects of Bollywood productions -singing, dancing, guest appearances unrelated to the movie's plot and so on. It also provides us with an interesting and colorful, if I suspect somewhat superficial, overview of some aspects of Indian lifestyle and culture. The singing and dancing is well choreographed and fun even if the lyrics appeared slightly clichéd. I have a feeling Chandha was having a good-natured dig at Bollywood tradition at some parts The plot flows nicely with most of the similarities to the Jane Austen novel plainly evident.The casting was mostly good. Most of the Bakshi family closely matched their equivalents in the Bennett family and gave excellent performances in their respective roles. Martin Henderson was good as Will Darcy, Naveen Andrews was great as Balraj and the very talented Indira Varma was great as Kiran, the equivalent to Caroline Bingley. Daniel Gillies was good -if slightly forgettable as Johnny Wickham and Nitin Ganatra was hilarious as the irrepressible Mr Kohli.I could think of no better actress to play the Lady Catherine De Bourgh-like character Catherine Darcy than the very talented Marsha Mason.The one disappointment (other than what I'm going to get to in the next paragraph) was Alexis Bledel as Georgiana Darcy. Georgiana Darcy is one of my favorite characters in "Pride and Prejudice" but this version of Georgiana Darcy comes across as flat and unlikeable But what really spoiled the movie for me was Aishwarya Rai in the main role of Lalita Bakshi, although in all fairness she was given some very sloppy character development and dialogue to work with by Chandha. She's such an irritating, annoying actress and her performance -at least in this movie -was horrible and her being the main character definitely destroyed the charm of this movie was for me. Rai has been quoted in interviews as saying that she didn't read "Pride and Prejudice" before appearing in this movie. Well, perhaps she should have. Lizzie Bennett is definitely opinionated and headstrong but she's also a very sympathetic character and the reader can passionately identify with where she's coming from. Even when we see the flaws in Lizzie's character, they are still portrayed in a sympathetic way in relation to her overall personality. Rai and Chandha make Lalita's character arrogant, rude and pretentious to the point where I was cheering on Darcy when he was being obnoxious to her. That shouldn't be how it is in a "Pride and Prejudice" adaptation Perhaps this is a reflection of the overall script and character development in this movie, though. Many of the characters could have done with more depth, dimension and substance and there was a huge potential for greater fulfillment of the premise of this movie.The dialogue also fell flat at certain parts.I think this movie has an interesting premise and the casting, the insights into some aspects of Indian life and the singing and dancing make this worthwhile viewing. However, the sloppy script, dialogue, character development and the casting of Aishwarya Rai in the role of Lalita detract from what otherwise could have been a great movie

On a lazy Saturday afternoon at Zellers (back in 2005), I was browsing the new releases in DVDs. I came across this movie and thought it looked like fun. I didn't know any of the actors but I loved Gurinder Chadha's Bend It Like Beckham. On top of that, one of my all-time favourite movies is Pride & Prejudice (the Colin Firth version) so I thought, how could I lose? I watched it later that night. At first, I felt a little disappointed because I thought that the lead actress did not look Indian enough. But it did not take much longer for me to be completely enraptured with her. I really enjoyed the movie even though I thought that the script was a bit rushed in the second half and the dialogue was not very witty. More importantly, this film opened the door to a whole other world. The world of Bollywood!
