Namastey London

(Vipul Amrutlal Shah, India 2007, 128 min., 35mm, Hindi w/subtitles)

Bollywood and Beyond!. Generational conflict between NRI (Non-Resident Indian) parents and their children is a common dilemma in Bollywood films. Despite moving their families and/or raising their (often foreign-born) children in a different culture where new values are adopted, the parents still insist that their children return to the homeland and marry a man or woman with traditional Hindustani values. And the conflict begins. What happens when you find a way to outsmart your parents? Who really pays? Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif star in this interesting twist on a common trope, with filming locations in Brighton, Marlow, and London, England.
