Absolutely Fantastic
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
My hopes were too high for what this movie delivered. The acting was pretty good, but the movie starts to fall apart just as the plot speeds up. I blame both the script and the directing. See, the problem is that Harry doesn't know what he wants. And he's too chicken to pursue girls on his own, so he outsources the task by having an arranged marriage, except he does it under the pretext of ensuring lasting marital happiness. And then he chickens out of that too (but not before what might be the Indian wedding equivalent of saying "I do"). So here's the real spoiler and shame of the film: he's got an Indian girl ready to marry him and an American girl ready to date him...but he ends up single in the end, for reasons that are a mystery to me (and probably the two girls). I have a feeling the sequel will be Harry as The Indian 40-yr-old Virgin.
I saw the film on i tunes last night because I missed it when it opened in theaters. I wasn't expecting too much and was pleasantly surprised. The film is really funny and sweet, and for someone like me who isn't a big romantic comedy fan, it worked with the genre. The $3.99 on i tunes was well worth it but I wish I had seen it on the big screen because the cinematography is so colorful and beautifully shot. For an indie they got some amazing locations and sets. Overall the film is full of fresh talent, nice music and an unusual story that gives you insight into the Indian culture and I understand now why some Indians who live in the neighborhood get arranged marriages. The lead actress is also stunning, as is most of the cast of newcomers. The last film with an Indian theme that I really liked was Bend it Like Beckham which had Kiera Knightly in her first movie and this feels like another one of those star-birthing films.
This was a sweet charming romantic-comedy and very easy to watch with the family. We saw it in Kew Gardens, and thought that the cinematography, soundtrack and casting were so lively and fresh. The film deals with the whole cross-cultural marriage issue in a very fun and light-hearted way, and it's quite an easy, breezy watch.I just bought the soundtrack (Sarah Sharp's voice is amazing and the Indian music was really catchy - isn't it always?) I'm hoping they release the DVD before Christmas. It's one of those films that actually manages to keep a smile on your face the whole time and a perfect gift for friends who are cross-cultural couples.My husband and I are planning a trip to India after seeing this movie!
I'm big into independent films so I'd been following the development of this movie since my friend saw it in Austin and told me about it. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you take it for what it is- a lighthearted romantic comedy- you should walk away feeling like it was time well spent. It's shot beautifully, the colors are really nice and I loved a lot of the music. It starts off a little slow but by the middle of it, I found myself engrossed. Some of the acting was a little so so but I loved the supporting characters, especially the parents! It was also nice to see a romantic comedy from the guy's perspective for once...gives us a break from the stereotypical mopey girl- let the guy mope for once.
