May 5, 2007Really great comedy of presently Jane Austen story in Bollywood. The first time I ever watched part of fantasy and musical in Indian version that looks cool since 1940 to 1980s American musical movies. Oh gee... Indian goddess superstar, Aishwarya Rai, looks really beautiful.

By the time two newlywed couples lumber toward their honeymoons atop bejeweled elephants, the movie's frothy excess and good humor can make you say 'I do,' too. Full Review

Who would have guessed that transposing the Bennet family of Netherfield Park in 1790s Britain to a middle-class home in contemporary Amritsar, India would require so little forcing? Full Review

The lyrics for the musical numbers are delightfully clever, the dancing has an energetic, let's-put-on-a-show quality, and the movie is as gorgeous to look at as its cast. Full Review

A big, sprawling, sweet-natured mishmash with plots upon subplots and enough characters to make the head spin. Full Review
