Linkshoch Wonderful Movie
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
David R. Philip The movie is a bit kitsch, and true, this story's been told through many an immigrant, from many a race, but as an American-Desi it's still kinda cool to see someone who looks like you and shares your specific familial idiosyncrasies on a screen. Growing up I didn't see people who looked like me on TV--aside from the occasional caricatures with goofy accents only there as a side-joke. Oh...wait... yeah, it's still sorta -like- that!If you're not of South Asian descent I don't think you'd be as excited about this work, but it does offer a good point; that the fusion of cultures advents an altogether new baby that everyone can appreciate; like the protagonist's music. And if nothing else, the movie is a window to a culture not seen by most people outside of it--however-much of a sketch it is; it improves our understandings of our fellowman. I give it more points than I usually would for that.
AishFan This movie was not that bad. However, from the trailors I was expecting more of a comedy like American Desi. American Desi still easily dominates this newly founded genre of Indian-American movies. Paresh Rawal's comedy is of course brilliant. Most of the movie focuses on the lead's relationship as oppose to second generation Indian life in America.
mickmania I would love to have more movies like this one. I loved it because it shows the truth about how the life for indians are in USA to be more one target Gujus. I loved it i would like to see more or lees something like this for other cultural backgrounds as well. I mean is people from all over India.
Neel Mehta This is a well made, extremely relevant and riotously comical american desi film. If you are of east Indian Origin, you will find this hilarious!! If not, you will still find it interesting. Recommended for all ages and cultures. I know of many such families as depicted in the movie. The music is great too!
