...story centers on the tempestuous love/hate relationship between American Will Darcy and Indian Lalita Bakshi. He is the son of a wealthy hotel family; she is an independent and headstrong daughter of a mother eager to marry her and her three sisters off to well-established young bachelors. The storyline should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Jane Austen, or any standard boy-meets-girl Hollywood romance, really; what makes this film so enjoyable is its marriage of Eastern style and Western content (especially fun to see when the setting moves to Los Angeles) and the way this...

No one had been able to reach that dusky blue range, let alone cross it, and the headstrong young botanist was filled with "an enthusiastic pride of going farther than any person has yet been." Though he did just that, and managed to get home again, what Caley and his convict assistants encountered during their three-week expedition would permanently damage his health and later lead him to describe...
...every U.S. college she could think of, already displaying the resolve and energy that would mark her life. Mamdani describes film as Nair's ideal medium.
