Summary: If you like this movie; Another recommendation
Comment: I love this retelling of the classic Jane Austin novel, "Pride and Prejudice". The ingenuity of the movie showing the cultural divide of the two stars, one from india and one from America, is inspiring. I will not go into too much detail as the other reviews are very helpful in that respect.
Why am I wiriting this review you might ask? I loved this movie and wanted to watch another Bollywood film genre but had a hard time finding any of these in the English Language. As luck would have it, another great movie was just released onto DVD. The movie is called, "Marigold", and stars Ali Larter ("Nikki") from the television series "Heroes". Another gem for anyone wanting to see another great Bollywood movie.

Summary: Bollywood is Hilarious
Comment: I got this movie from Netflix for a date night movie. I tried to pick the highest-rated chick flick I could find, but I was still pretty pessimistic over what I would get. What would Bollywood send my way?
I was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps it was my very low expectations, but I thought the movie was hilariously funny. Sheralie also liked it because it was romantic (for the slow of thought, it is based on "Pride and Prejudice"). It is a musical, which I usually don't care for. But many of the songs are really funny and it was not too much. I don't even like the "Pride and Prejudice" plot, but the adaptation for cultural differences (India vs. US) was terrific.
Great acting too from India's biggest star (the female lead) and Sayid from Lost. I would recommend to most people searching for some date night entertainment.

Aishwarya Rai is delihgtful, clever and funny...I'd never seen a Bollywood movie before, but this i loved, the dancing sequences were great and i loved them, made me want to learn how to dance like them, and i even liked the songs, although i don't know what they're saying.
I would totally recomend this movie to anybody interested in it.

Summary: Thank goodness for then fast forward button
Comment: Jane Austen's classic "Pride & Prejudice" gets the Bollywood treatment in a rollicking update by Director Gurinder Chadha who brought "Bend it Like Beckham" to the screen creatively modernizing Austen's timeless story. Reigning Bollywood Queen Aishwayra Rai portrays Lalita Bakshi, the headstrong independent sister in search of Mr. Right while maintaining her independence. Her foil is American hotel magnate William Darcy played by Martin Henderson.
Just as you get into the storyline, suddenly the cast breaks out into song, reminiscent of "Grease." It takes awhile to get into it, and might have some viewers reaching for the fast forward button. Overall, it is an enjoyable timeless story.

A clash of cultures in the spirit of MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, this modern musical retelling of Jane Austen's classic PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is a hilariously entertaining tale of one girl's unlikely search for love! Sparks immediately fly as a love/hate relationship ignites between a small-town beauty (international star Aishwarya Rai) and a wealthy American (Martin Henderson -- THE RING, TORQUE) who's visiting her modest Indian village. In a swirl of music, dance, and comic misunderstandings, these opposites continue to attract and repel each other in a riotous romance that spans three continents! Featuring Naveen Andrews (TV's LOST, THE ENGLISH PATIENT) and a memorable performance from top recording artist Ashanti -- love will eventually conquer all in this acclaimed treat from the director of BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM!
