Critic Reviews

Jack Mathews

So far beyond Bollywood, I think it's set in the suburbs of L.A. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Kapadia's intelligent, nuanced performance is the film's highlight, balanced by Khanna's portrayal of Nashaad, who could easily be a patronizing, chauvinist caricature. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Veers between the light naturalism of American television and the pulsing melodrama of Bollywood entertainment. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Most of the dialogue is in English, almost all of the story takes place in the U.S., and there is none of the kitschy fun that gives Bollywood flicks their charm. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

The film is not without humor or conflict, but it is a complex coming-of-age story that places a premium on independence and attacks sexual hypocrisy. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Succeeds only as a cultural exchange of cinematic cliches. Read full review
