A clash of cultures in the spirit of MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, this modern musical retelling of Jane Austen's classic PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is a hilariously entertaining tale of one girl's unlikely search for love! Sparks immediately fly as a love/hate relationship ignites between a small-town beauty (international star Aishwarya Rai) and a wealthy American (Martin Henderson -- THE RING, TORQUE) who's visiting her modest Indian village. In a swirl of music, dance, and comic misunderstandings, these opposites continue to attract and repel each other in a riotous romance that spans three continents! Featuring Naveen Andrews (TV's LOST, THE ENGLISH PATIENT) and a memorable performance from top recording artist Ashanti -- love will eventually conquer all in this acclaimed treat from the director of BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM!

"[T]he female lead, Indian superstar Aishwarya Rai, is both beautiful and skilled: a delight to watch."
"Director Gurinder Chadha fills the screen with colorful settings and musical numbers. You walk out in an ebullient mood."
"[Chadha] keeps the movie alive with swirling color, music and movement. The songs are deliciously silly..."
"[T]his festively busy and exuberantly multicultural charmer is its own intriguingly postmodern creation..."
"[L]ively and cheerful....There's a real sense of unbridled spectacle here..."
