Bollywood Rumors > A truth universally acknowledged...

[fiftyfivehundred.org] I put the Bride & Prejudice DVD on tonight. The entire time, I kept trying to decide how to read it: Was it Bollywood?

http://vinodg.blogspot.com [Vinodg.blogspot.com] Mostly Thoughtless: Jane Austen's classic (read boring) novel 'Pride and Prejudice' was originally titled 'First Impressions' because the novel was concerned with the effects of the characters' first impressions of each other, and how they later realize how they can be deceptive. However, it's the exact opposite of that with this movie.

Film.guardian.co.uk[Film.guardian.co.uk] Guardian Unlimited Film | Reviews | Bride and Prejudice: Bride and Prejudice is appreciably less warmly convincing than Chadha's earlier, realist British-set pictures like Bhaji on the Beach and Bend It Like Beckham. Those were very different sorts of films, of course, but it's difficult to escape the uncomfortable suspicion that just as emigrant Indian bachelors in this movie condescendingly return to the old country, prospecting for wives who are simple and unsophisticated, so this successful, savvy director has paid a high-spirited, if slightly obtuse visit to India's classic entertainment genre, and come up with something too saccharine.

For the thespian in you, pass around the book and let different family members read different characters.

Hyphenmagazine.com[Hyphenmagazine.com] Hyphen Magazine | Asian America Unabridged - Blog: January 2005 ...: My "South Asian Persuasion" isn't necessarily about having this "fetish" for South Asian men (though maybe I'm wrong because I do have a "crush" on Shahrukh Khan), but for the flamboyant and vibrant Bollywood films. Although I once in a while have a craving for Indian food and I own a black kurta (blouse) (it was only ever worn when Gurinder Chadha's Bend it Like Beckham was Opening Night for the SFIAAFF), I don't think of my interest in Bollywood being the same as some "outsider" exoticizing women of a certain race (which is what most of us think of when we make the accusation of "Yellow Fever").
