I heard about this a few months ago when a friend went to see it at Opening the Jacksonville Film Festival in May this year. I saw it in Canada of all places while on vacation. My friend told me that one of the lead actors (Sonny Mandal) was auctioned off in a win-a-date contest. Lucky guy. My girlfriend says it's the other way around. But I thought his acting and the man who plays Arjun (he's the director) and the one who plays the Mom were awesome. The neighbor played by Joseph Whipp was was very real. Some of the best moments in the film come from the acting of Sonny and Kavi with moments of silence and their reactions. Very good work and nice overall t-for the rest of the cast. The story is original. I know there's some films that are going to be similar, but this has it all in a way because you get the flavor of music, fashion, and food combined with the exotic and then they add the family, love, and some disturbing images ( Isay this because the film depicts what happened after 9/11 to so many innocent Americans). Wonderful film if you want to experience a whole new world that's right her in America and most places, really. Three Thumbs Way Up! (I hope I can say that).
