This film was awful. I am a fan of the original Jane Austin "Pride and Prejudice" from whence this movie was based. This version has very little redeeming qualities. The dance scenes seemed to be forced and did not flow well with the story line. Just a bunch of pretty girls dancing seductive dances with little rhyme or reason. The vocal numbers were good but obviously dubbed. Aishwarya is constantly slamming the US and our culture. It seems like the director's only way to elevate Indian culture and ideals is to make frequent and glaring jabs at American lifestyles and views. Even Darcy seems to get into the deprecation of the US and what it stands for in order to win Aishwarya's affection.
I don't mind poking fun at oneself. However, when the movie seems to center on this thesis and when the poking is from another culture, it seemed more like mud slinging.
It was like watching 2 immature children interacting: one constantly putting down the other to draw attention to and elevate oneself.
