The other movie I saw is "Bollywood- Hollywood".
Starring Rahul Khanna & Lisa Ray - a movie by Deepa Mehta of the "Fire &
Earth" fame.

The story is set in Toronto, Canada. The boy brought up in Canada is almost
forced to find a 'Indian' girl by his mother, played by the overgrown
Maushami Chatterji (We call her Mosambi-Chatnee! :)), or otherwise his
sisters wedding may not go smoothly.
He finds Lisa Ray in a bar- thinks she is Spanish but looks Indian and so he
'hires' her to act & play the part of his Indian bride. - turns out that the
sexy Ray is actually from a Sikh family originally from Bhatinda!
The love story is not very convincing although there are excerpts from
'Rangeela' & few similar digs at other Bollywood stars & Masala movies. Also
a pre-wedding song-dance.
But this movie will be great fun for NRIs and who relate with such US /
Canada based Indian families.

(of the lot of such recent movies, I liked "Bend it like Beckham" the best!)

P.S: This job of Movie reviews  was earlier nicely done by Ms. Sapna Harshal
Chhaya in their Bollywood Grapevine. Missing it!

Best Wishes.. Have a Nice Day.
