Sometimes the “fun” of a movie is to see how a storyline is handled by filmmakers in another country (in this case, Mumbai, India) and how a young couple’s situation is resolved.

Yes, both are “worthy” and the young man has a “wise” grandmother and the girl has a loving and not completely intolerant family. The pace is just right, the characters are interesting, and the acting of the entire cast is great. And I think it is much harder to hold an audience’s interest in a warm, human comedy like this one than in a farce or a melodrama. The sentiment seems real and “new,” thanks to a first-rate cast in a situation that could easily have become clichéd or maudlin. A very enjoyable film. Expand

The story is intriguing and its very much a film about the social awkwardness felt by children/grandchildren at the expectations their relatives have for them and how they really feel. The script is good and the performances are good too. There's some amusing moments (lightly amusing, not big belly laugh funny but that's ok) and some thought provoking moments too. I liked the granny, what she said and how she acted at times - it made me smile. Its thought provoking and somehow rather poignant. I liked the imagery presented by what characters describe as being in their thoughts. Of course there's also some nice shots of the indian landscape - it gives a good insight into traditional Indian values I suppose. Generally I'd say it has a nice 'warmth' to it. Yes, I'd recommend this film. Expand
