- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Sheer delight. An ensemble comedy-drama that recalls Robert Altman's best work."
Jonathan Foreman: New York Post
-
"Nair is not making a caricature out of Lalit or anyone else. She's inviting us into the inner recesses of her culture. And it's both pleasure and privilege to be one of her guests."
Desson Thomson: The Washington Post
-
"Delighted me like few films I've seen recently. It's a sexy, sweet, sumptuously entertaining movie"
Michael Wilmington: Chicago Tribune
-
"Has an engaging warmth and an effortless sense of life. It also has an instinct for the humanity and universality of situations that are comic, romantic and quite seriously dramatic"
Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
-
"A feast for the eyes and ears as its story is a banquet for the heart."
Carrie Rickey: Philadelphia Inquirer
