On a lazy Saturday afternoon at Zellers (back in 2005), I was browsing the new releases in DVDs. I came across this movie and thought it looked like fun. I didn't know any of the actors but I loved Gurinder Chadha's Bend It Like Beckham. On top of that, one of my all-time favourite movies is Pride & Prejudice (the Colin Firth version) so I thought, how could I lose? I watched it later that night. At first, I felt a little disappointed because I thought that the lead actress did not look Indian enough. But it did not take much longer for me to be completely enraptured with her. I really enjoyed the movie even though I thought that the script was a bit rushed in the second half and the dialogue was not very witty. More importantly, this film opened the door to a whole other world. The world of Bollywood!
