Quotes:
Salim: [while discussing Jagjit's future Sister-in-law] She's from here? Oh. Then maybe you should get him an Indian cookbook, unless he likes eating out. You should see one of my cousins, she lives here, she tried to make some rice and burnt the whole thing. I mean come on, yaar, how hard is it to boil rice? At least with a girl from India, you know she can cook. moreSoundtrack:

as a film student, and as an indian i think i had too much expectation for the film. I loved the concept as well ideas expressed, as i could totally relate to the film. however, it wasnt as polished a movie as I'd like, and some of it was so corny i wanted to hit mute to finish out a scene. overall, the acting was decent for a small film, but the editing was par and the story was way too predictable.
