Guilty Pleasure

Movies used to be fun before they started out with a yoof wasting a bruvver wif' a headshot. In Bollywood, thankfully, the tradition of creating lighthearted souffle like entertainment has survived. Bride and Prejudice is reasonably faithful to the Jane Austen original with Miss World Aishwarya "Ash" Rai playing the headstrong Elizabeth Bennett character ("Lalita") -- when her squillionairess Beverly-Hills-hotel-owning prospective mother-in-law remarks that with Indian restaurants, yoga and Deepak Chopra widely available in California, there is no need to travel to India, Lalita tartly replies that it is like not wanting to go to Italy because a Pizza Hut has opened up around the corner.
Bright costumes, predictably wholesome and unwholesome characters, song, dance, heartbreak, making up -- camp, yes, timepass yes, but deliciously so. Rudy sez forget the critics, pick up your main squeeze, get an extra large popcorn and check it out. |
