I am crazy about "Bollywood" films! What does this word mean? No one is sure. Folks seem to use it to refer to flicks that involve half American, half Indian/Pakistani/Persian protagonists.
Seems that young twenty-somethings in many immigrant cultures struggle with being very American yet having traditional parents. This conflict makes for some great stories!
Check out the handsome couple above. They have something in common: Each has an American ("white") parent and a Pakistani parent. The result? Old values and new values clash in a zany, wild way! Ah, therein lies the humor!
Shades of Ray is a delight. Can't be a spoiler, but I can safely say that Ray, that handsome dude whose "cuteness" my dear spouse noted, loves a blondie who is NOT of his culture! He is sure he wants to marry her...until he meets a lovely half-Pakistani who could possibly win his heart.
I think we can safely say that many films fascinate when they portray new/old generations. The young-uns today want to determine their own destinies. Strange, because parents think they know better.
Enjoy!
