I really loved Pratibha Parmar's work on "Nina's Heavenly Delights" and that's the reason I am so pissed off that there is rarely a chance for the character of a dyke to be realistically portrayed - or at least, believably enough for the gay audience to give it a pass. Laura Fras... read more

Very fun, very cute lesbian romance with a hint of Bollywood and lots of Scottish charme. The German audience at the Gay & Lesbian film festival was very, very thankful about the subtitles - Glasgow accent is always a challenge.

Critic Reviews
A lightweight and sentimental exercise that succeeds at little except maybe inspiring the viewer to go out and find a decent curry. Full Review
This combination of melodrama, comedy, music and romance eventually falls under the weight of its endlessly stereotypical characters, dialogue and situations.
This movie's heart is in the right place, which is one way of saying it's terrible. Full Review
A cloying blend of Bollywood sentiment and Amélie whimsy, Nina's Heavenly Delights is a lesbian-foodie fairy tale that keeps its appetites well under control. Full Review
Making her feature debut after several documentaries, Parmar displays rookie jitters with excessive cutting and camera moves whose restlessness occasionally recalls Mumbai soap operas. Full Review
Veena Sood plays Nina's mother with magisterial presence. But Conn overacts just as much as the impetuous Nina overreacts. Full Review
offers high production values while telling a conventional tale with several moderately unexpected twists. Full Review
Touches of magic realism indicate we are in an ideal world where love will, if not conquer everything, then pretty much hug it into submission. Full Review
Parmar's film is light and sweet, comfort food dressed up with a dash of exotic spice. Full Review
