Bollywood meets Pretty Woman.
In case you don't know what Bollywood is. It is the type of film made in India involving melodrama and over-the-top dance numbers. This movie thinks it is clever because it takes those themes and mixes it with a 'hollywood' plot.It's not clever, it'... read more

A fun Bollywood themed film, some very entertaining musical numbers. It?s all very familiar but it is well done. I enjoyed the cast. It?s nothing great but it entertains along the way.
Not authentic Bollywood, not polished enough to pass for Hollywood and not edgy enough for indie film fans. Full Review
Though neither big nor slick, it's a joyful, feel-good spoof that makes you want to run out and rent a real Bollywood musical. Full Review
A musical comedy that's mirthless and barely musical. Full Review
Less a pastiche of the cinematic conventions of both 'woods than it is My Big Fat Greek Wedding in a sari.
Mehta's delight with her own in-joke, as well as her attractive, energetic cast, will prove infectious to those audiences who find themselves sharing the director's frivolous frame of mind. Full Review
The movie is lazily conceived, refusing to offer a single developed character or scene. Full Review
Lacks the sharpness and sophistication necessary for it to appeal beyond Indian audiences. Full Review
Promising a sexy blend of L.A. and Bombay, Bollywood/ Hollywood is just another mediocre masala. Full Review
Mehta's film has intermittent energy and wit, but if I were to rank the recent ethnic marital comedies, her musical would be a distant fourth.
