This film looked as if it could have been very interesting and fun. Though it does have a few cross cultural snafus for Kishan Singh that are amusing to a western audience, we are led off track by many little details that go nowhere, primarily regarding his son and daughter-in-law. Flaws begin at the very start of the movie, when there is no understanding or background for the cold shoulder that Kishan receives from his daughter-in-law beginning with his arrival. Her character is anal and bitchy for no apparent reason, especially since he is arriving after having lost his wife. The character of Laura and her husband Raj have obvious marital issues which play a significant role in the story but are never resolved. There is nothing subtle about the delicacy of the situations they are all operating within, yet the ending is so slight, it's not worth sticking around for. I was very disappointed, in the banality of the script and the casting of everyone except for Roshan Seth and Nora Bates who played his granddaughter.
