This movie begins with a young woman named "Meera" (Tannishtha Chatterjee) waking up from a nightmare and after going downstairs finds that her mother is busy lighting incense as part of a Hindu custom to help inaugurate her new house. Having become "westernized" both Meera and her preteen daughter "Smitha" (Maya Sathi) are somewhat embarrassed by the old ways but they cope as well as they can. The film then shifts to a scene where a young man by the name of "Will" (Brett Lee) is teaching a small class of immigrants how to speak English like an Australian. Needing a change-of-pace he then goes with some friends to an Indian festival being held not too far from his apartment in Sydney and happens to meet Meera. Although he becomes quite smitten with her there are a few things he doesn't know and he soon discovers that the cultural divide makes any possible romance between them very difficult. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a humorous movie which benefited greatly from the exotic Indian culture and the performance of the aforementioned Tannishtha Cahtterjee. That said, I have rated this movie accordingly. Slightly above average.
