Product Description
Spinning a Bollywood tale from Jane Austen's classic novel, director Gurinder Chadha, writer Paul Madeya Berges, and producer Deepak Nayar (the BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM team) present this musical full of romance, intrigue, and cross-cultural celebration.

Amazon.com
The exotic sounds, vibrant colors, and ecstatic dancing of Bollywood collide with the cunning storytelling of Jane Austen in Bride & Prejudice (from the writer/director of previous East/West hybrid Bend It Like Beckham). When smart, outspoken Lalita Bakshi (Indian beauty Aishwarya Rai) meets Will Darcy (Martin Henderson, The Ring), she finds this American businessman arrogant and conceited--but because his best friend is falling in love with her sister, Lalita agrees to travel around India with Darcy. On the trip, a childhood friend of Darcy's named Johnny (Daniel Gillies, Spider-Man 2) both tickles Lalita's fancy and confirms her worst suspicions about Darcy. But as events unfold, Lalita wonders if she hasn't misjudged Darcy--and Johnny. Austen fans will be find much to criticize; Bride & Prejudice transplants the basic plot of Pride & Prejudice to modern India, but not much of Austen's sly wit or her insights about character and society have survived the translation. Henderson, though handsome, lacks the intimidating charisma of previous Mr. Darcys (including Laurence Olivier and Colin Firth). Thank goodness for the delightful Rai, here making her first all-English-language movie. She commands the screen like a true star (unsurprisingly, she's hugely popular in India, and previously starred in a more homegrown Austen adaptation: I Have Found It, based on Sense & Sensibility). For Western audiences unfamiliar with the freewheeling exuberance of Indian movies--wild musical numbers can break out at almost any moment--Bride & Prejudice offers an engaging taste of this fantastic cinematic style. --Bret Fetzer

5 out of 5 stars Bride & Predjudice DVD Review   June 21, 2009
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought the movie Bride and Prejudice because I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice and it sounded like the story line was the same and would be just as good. I wasn't disappointed. I don't believe I had ever seen a Bollywood movie before and I thoroughly loved it. After seeing it I showed it to my daughter, grandchildren and friends who also loved it. I bought 2 more, 1 for my daughter/granddaughters and 1 for a friend who wanted it. I believe the film was just right in the amount of time, not to short or long. My granddaughters range in age from 3 to 11 years old and they watched the whole movie without leaving it. We all continue to watch it over and over. It is a feel good movie with singing and dancing. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good love story. I give it a 5 star rating.


4 out of 5 stars Not Quite Colin Firth   June 17, 2009
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This movie is an interesting modern adaptation on the story Pride & Prejudice. It is more updated than other versions, and blends Indian and Western cultures in a fun manner. If you are looking for a fun movie that keeps you involved, this one is for you. But if you are looking for one that sticks more to the story line of Pride & Prejudice the best one to watch is the BBC Miniseries with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. However, this movie is upbeat, more modern, and has some beautiful scenes in India filled with color. The dialogue is not as heart-wrenching or breath-stopping, but some is left to glances and movements between actors which can be just as captivating. Overall a fun movie to watch if you are not looking for something that sticks right to the story.

This movie is pure candy. Orange, red, yellow, purple, blue. Music, dance, comedy, light drama. If Pride and Prejudice is your favorite movie, this is your new second favorite.


5 out of 5 stars I recommend this movie for everyone!   May 17, 2009

Brilliant colors abound from beginning to end, costumes, glittery scenery, fabulous dance sequences with some of the best musical music ever! But a musical with a real heart and soul...a happy joyful movie that will sweep away all your concerns about the Real World, and hopefully will take you away, as it did me, to the magical escape land most movies today do not do! The lovely and talented actresses that play the 4 sisters were so dear and charming and believeable and the scene where they are all singing in their white pajamas about a suitor their mom was touting...well you just have to see it! Very cute and catchy. The actors and actresses were SO good, so sincere that it made me care very much about the outcome. The times they would break into song worked so well! I hope to see more from the Indian director as she created an outstanding movie ( I am sorry I dont have all the names in front of me)
All of the actors and actresses were so talented and believable, from the parents, to the 4 sisters, to the comical suitor, to the gorgeous Darcy, to Naveen Andrews, but I do have to especially note Aishwarya Rai...Not only does she possess the kind of other worldly beauty that is beyond human, but the woman is a fantastic actress, singer, and dancer! Not for nothing was she a Miss World!
Make sure to watch all the extras! Aishwarya is interviewed, she is brilliant and articulate, and it is fun to see how they made the movie and other cute escapades on the sets, there is also a very charming interview with the handsome actor who played Mr Darcy.
Please do yourself a favor and rent, borrow, or buy this treat! Pure happiness!
