Customer Reviews of Bride and Prejudice
Fun, light, love the dancing! This is actually the first Bollywood movie I've ever seen, and I read mixed reviews of it before I went to see it. Okay, Schindler's List it's not, but it doesn't try to be. This is a light, happy movie with fun dances, stupid songs, old-Hollywood-musical crowd scenes, and beautiful costumes. Aishwarya Rai is beautiful and charismatic. When she's on screen, you always notice her. Naveen Andrews is very cute as well, though he's best when dancing at the beginning. I think that they tried to make it too close to Pride & Prejudice, and that's where the movie has problems. They should have taken a page from Bridget Jones' Diary, which follows the original story looser. They should have just stayed dancing in Amritsar. But if you want something delightful and fun to watch, this movie is great. It'll be up on my happy movie list with Bridget Jones' Diary, Billy Elliot, and The Princess Bride.
Go Ahead- watch it!!
Gurinder Chaddha goes right over the top- you can hear her exhorting her cast and crew for more! more exhuberance, more colours, more everything! Why have 15 extras dancing when you can squeeze 50 in the frame!
<
>But thankfully the quantity over quality bulldozer approach does not obscure the engaging story (GO,AUSTEN!) and the insightful directorial eye Chaddha possesses despite herself.
<
>The subtle and not so subtle inferior value society has placed on these girls, all of whom are mostly obliged to dangle for an eligible match, their unhappy acceptance of their lot, the overt games the mothers play to put their chicks in the path of "well settled" grooms, is all vintage Austen and current India!
<
>A. Rai is feisty, and beautiful, and her "sisters" can all act. Without any of Mira Nairs lyricism but with it's own coarse charm and humor, this movie was ultimately fun to watch.

Shallow
Having been a fan of Austen and well-made Bollywood movies too, I still could not take this one for whatever it was worth. I guess I expected more from Chaddha (Director) who has done exceptional work in making "Bend it like...". This doesn't even come close because its neither true Bollywood nor Hollywood, but simply a loose coupling of both. No attention has been given to details, especially in the sets staged in Goa and scenes of Punjab state. Acting is shallow, especially by Rai (Lead Actress). Chaddha needs to learn more from the likes of Mira Nair and Rai should give up acting complex roles now.
