Bride and Prejudice


Directed By: Gurinder Chadha
Starring:
- Aishwarya Rai - Lalita
- Martin Henderson - Mark Darcy

Synopsis:
Bride and Prejudice" puts an entirely different spin on Jane Austen's story of spirited courtship - Bollywood-style. Music, dance and spectacle merge with love, vanity and social pressures, as director Gurinder Chadha transports the comic tale of a witty young woman trying to find a suitable husband to a cross-cultural setting that spans 21st century India, London and America. It all begins in a modest Indian village when the determined Mrs. Bakshi sets out to find marriage matches for her four beautiful daughters while there's a lavish wedding party in town. Right away, the smart and headstrong Lalita (Rai) announces she will only marry for love, giving her mother nightmares. Then Lalita meets the wealthy American Will Darcy (Henderson) and sparks immediately fly. But is it love or hate? Darcy comes off to Lalita as an arrogant California snob. Lalita looks to Darcy like a small-town Indian beauty who knows nothing of the world. Alternately enchanted by and suspicious of one another, Lalita and Darcy nearly fall prey to assumptions, gossip and a comedy of errors... until pride is humbled and prejudice overcome so that love can triumph

My comments:
At first, I really looking forward for this movie. I luv the previous movie from the director "bend It Like beckham". I familiar with the leading lady movies before, aiswahrya is very famous in her country. I definitely love Jane Austen, and above all I think I am in love with Mark Darcy hehehehehe...
But, after i saw it, i am just little bit dissapointed..Well, I mean the set is gorgeous with many colour and sound but i saw it also in recent indian movie played by sakhrun khan :) , a lot of singing and dancing like typical indian movie, the comedi is basi for me and there is no chemistry in both of the star or maybe i just expect so much from this movie
