American Daylight

Having worked in US call centers for over ten years I was very excited and interested to see this movie for myself.

American Daylight strives to be a love story with intrigue. The lovers come from two very different worlds. Sujata or 'Sue' as she is known to the American callers, works in a call center in a new growing suburb of Delhi. Lawrence is portrayed as the rich American that has all needs paid for by the company. (This is a very common practice for relocated American center managers, but seems foreign to the Indian culture).

You'll be surprised to see how this story takes the characters through a web of plots, plans, deceit, misunderstandings, double-crosses and a clash of cultures.

American Daylight is a thriller through which emerges a love story of modern global times.

I had the misfortune to catch this movie on late night cable TV. "American Daylight" joins the ranks of faceless, doomed-to-anonymity, Indian-American co-productions built around the call centers phenomenon and seeks to lure gullible Indian movie-goers to a totally boring vehicle. The movie is poorly acted, has an incredulously unbelievable story line and apparently has a hard time deciding whether it wants to be a love story or a crime drama.

Even Bollywood stalwart Gulshan Grover seems to be moving about in a zombie-like daze, probably having realized his mistake in signing up for this debacle. The only halfway decent thing about the film is Koel Purie who could have a good career in films if she avoids such crappy scripts in future.

Total rubbish - this is a movie to be avoided at all costs!

Hey Friends, I have seen Americal Daylight. It is a very good movie. It is movie to watch. Though a artistic movie, it is something which is a incident and happens in an individual's life working in a Call Centre.

Koel Purie, Nick Moran and Vijay Raaz have given an amazing performance. One good thing is that this movie is produced by Bobby Bedi. Good to see someone backing a exciting movie like this. Koel Purie is totally good and also she is sexy. Watch out for her. Given some good scripts and movies she will be a top actress. If I had a chance to produce and direct movies, than Koel Purie will be the only actress who will star in all my movies.
