A really interesting movie, there's not anything like it (movies like Pardes are pure Bollywood, aimed at a native audience). The acting was generally terrible and the movie was often amateurish - the opening titles looked cribbed from a kid's video project, for instance. Sometimes it was difficult to tell if the jokes were really that bad. The plot is charming but instantly predictable. The movie has some good moments- I liked the idea of people viewing themselves in terms of movies. And, combining a Hollywood movie and a Bollywood movie to poke fun and enjoy the cliches of each great idea. I fully expect to see more movies doing that. Lisa Ray is attractive . Akshaye Khanna is really cool in a dance sequence. It's paced smoothly and has the bright colors and fun songs that help define Bollywood. So despite its large faults, it's still a fun movie worth watching.Read full review
for me it was just so so because im not big on Indian films but my wife loves it! After Rahul's white pop-star fiancée dies in a bizarre levitation accident his mother insists he find another girl as soon as possible, preferably a Hindi one. As she backs this up by postponing his sister's wedding until he does so, he feels forced to act, the more so as he knows his sister is pregnant. But it's a pretty tall order for an Indian living in Ontario, so when he meets striking escort Sunita who can 'be whatever you want me to be' he hatches a scheme to pass her off as his new betrothed. Things get complicated when his family start to take to her and he realises his own feelings are becoming rather stronger than that.
The DVD had some stains in it and there was water damage.

Bride and Prejudice is the marker by which all Indian movies will be measured for some time to come. This is not of that caliber, but it does have some moments of interest. If you enjoy seeing other cultures and how they live, you might enjoy this movie.
