Monsoon (1999)
India looks great in this film and it's a lot of fun!

My grandmother saw this film with me and thoroughly enjoyed the trip to India's famous region called Goa. the photography is very beautiful. The plot deals with an American Pentagon official coming to a tropical paradise on the Arabian Coast where he meets a school friend who we learn right up is secretly working undercover for Interpol. There's a fortune teller who hints at things to come, the suspicious fiancé, and even some Hindi dancing and old Portuguese forts from Goa's early history. Gulshan Grover plays a sinister Goan mobster and Matt McCoy is very good doubling as a Jesuit Seminarian and Interpol Agent. Goa, India has lots of Catholic Churches that date to the 16th Century so the sets are often very picturesque. Richard Tyson is very believable as the lead and Helen Bodie is very pretty. Fun movie. I felt like I had a nice trip to Goa, India!
