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!

Customer Rating: Summary: Delightful DVD - More Special Features would have been appreciated! Comment: I really like this movie, so I enjoy viewing the special features on this DVD. However, I wish there were more. On YouTube I discovered a deleted scene (Kiran grilling Jaya and Lalita about their family connections during their vacation at Goa), bloopers, and the version of "Show Me The Way, Take Me To Love" with the character of Darcy singing. These are not included on this DVD. Even so, I appreciate how the director/writer's & co-writer's commentary provided cultural & personal references as well as charming anecdotes about the production of the movie. Also interesting are the director's brief descriptions of the Bollywood style of filmmaking and her desire to and difficulties in making this film a balance of Bollywood and Hollywood (Eastern & Western) styles. "The Making of Bride & Prejudice" feature is delightful to watch with insightful interviews. "The Crew Does the Songs" shows hilarious footage of the crew singing and dancing once the filming of a musical number is completed. Much like the movie, there is an infusion of joy and fun in the special features which makes viewing this DVD a delight. Customer Rating: Summary: a great watch. Comment: I really enjoy this movie. The songs are so upbeat you find yourself humming them after the movie is over. Customer Rating: Summary: AWESOME-NESS!!! Comment: with a new age, bollywood twist, this movie is an awesome version of the classic tale PRIDE & PREJUDICE. even if you're not used to the bollywood style (like i was) it's worth checking out. Customer Rating: Summary: My first and so lovely Bollywood style movie!! Comment: Great! I adored this movie based on "Pride and Prejudice" but now we have an Indian family with four beautiful marriageable daughters! Mr. Darcy this time is owner of an international hotel chain and is American! The couple, Aishwaria Rai and Martin Henderson are delightful together, even when they argue!... And their moments together are so tender and romantic and believe me, with a breathtaking sunset behind them! The film is very colourful and makes your body shakes with the lively Indian music! Watch it and be happy!! Customer Rating: Summary: Great movie! Comment: I personally loved this movie. It's the type of film where you have to understand that it is a Bollywood style movie with their traditional song and dance sequences as well as a more European plot line. If you love Bollywood movies then this one is truly exceptional.
The characters are fun and believable. The songs are cute and move the plot along. The colors are vivid and entertaining. It's just a good flick.
