When Harry Tries to Marry

I'm big into independent films so I'd been following the development of this movie since my friend saw it in Austin and told me about it. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you take it for what it is- a lighthearted romantic comedy- you should walk away feeling like it was time well spent. It's shot beautifully, the colors are really nice and I loved a lot of the music. It starts off a little slow but by the middle of it, I found myself engrossed. Some of the acting was a little so so but I loved the supporting characters, especially the parents! It was also nice to see a romantic comedy from the guy's perspective for once...gives us a break from the stereotypical mopey girl- let the guy mope for once.

I saw the film on i tunes last night because I missed it when it opened in theaters. I wasn't expecting too much and was pleasantly surprised. The film is really funny and sweet, and for someone like me who isn't a big romantic comedy fan, it worked with the genre. The $3.99 on i tunes was well worth it but I wish I had seen it on the big screen because the cinematography is so colorful and beautifully shot. For an indie they got some amazing locations and sets. Overall the film is full of fresh talent, nice music and an unusual story that gives you insight into the Indian culture and I understand now why some Indians who live in the neighborhood get arranged marriages. The lead actress is also stunning, as is most of the cast of newcomers. The last film with an Indian theme that I really liked was Bend it Like Beckham which had Kiera Knightly in her first movie and this feels like another one of those star-birthing films.

This was a hybrid movie, a very rare kind, more like a cultural crash where east meets west. The movie was all about a young Indian student Harish alias Harry who lives in the United States. When his parents' love marriage broke Harry decides to get marry arranged by his parents and relative like Indian culture. It is a long process, while everything going right direction an American girl fall for him from the very beginning which tumbles his heart. He tries his best to not to fall back to her and what happen next is the rest of the story.

The movie was colourful. Music was very good and some tunes were catchy. All in all it was completely a fun movie and sad that many people won't get it. You no need to familiar with both the cultures to understand. The movie was a fun debate between 'love marriage' and 'arranged marriage'. And what wins at the end is to know you should see the movie.

Everyone looked awesome in their own way. I thought another Keira Knightley (debuted in 'Bend it like Beckham') is on making after seeing a character played by Theresa. Harry was good like a typical Indian character and so his parents and uncle as well cute Nita. A simple entertainment about cross- culture, good to be watched at once.

7/10

It's a great movie for teens, young adults and anyone young at heart who wants to see a fun romantic comedy. This movie is wonderful because it gives a chance to new comers and allows them to show their talent on the big screen. Now a days, movies on the big screen use the same actors and actresses until we are all tired of watching them. This is a fresh movie which is written by new comers, directed by a new comer and acted by new comers. It shows that a dream with hard work and persistence can come true. I applaud all the people involved in making this movie. It is another example of how this country is great and anyone can make their dreams come true. Go see it.

Finally get to watch the movie that I have been waiting for. It is pleasant and beautiful.

It is not your typical romantic movie. It is an experience and an adventure that takes you to explore the beautiful people, colorful culture and the amazing country of India.

For those who have not watch the movie, watch the trailer and get the movie. Do not take the rating as an discouragement, because you will enjoy this movie.

Thanks Nayan and 108 Production for the amazing movie, and I look forward to the next movie.
