Clear depiction of the ABCD culture
6 February 2009
This movie portrays the difficulties faced by the FOBs to assimilate into the American culture. The reason I changed my title summary to "abcd culture" is because the movie actually shows how the ABCD's treat the fresh of the boat.

Hari, who is caring and considerate is looked down upon by his "American" cousin, Mohan aka MO (I would rather call him mofo). Although I personally like Kal Penn, its his character that I hated. Though Hari's character is a little exaggerated, the prejudice suffered by him, closely relate that to mine (or to many other fobs). The moment an ABCD discovers that his peer or classmate is a fob, he would try to avoid him. And this is exactly what is displayed throughout the movie... from the experiences of Hari, Shyam and his friends! I loved all the comedy scenes, although it was hurting inside.
