Is BRIDE AND PREJUDICE Bollywood enough?
An article in the Hindustan Times talks to Gurinder Chadha and asks whether BRIDE AND PREJUDICE truly reflects Bollywood and Indian culture.
Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding and Chadha’s own Bend It Like Beckham, both great global success stories, did borrow some elements from Bollywood masala movies, but they remained firmly rooted in an international sensibility. That indeed was the reason why they travelled so well across borders. It would really be in the best interests of Bride & Prejudice if it were not too overtly an imitation of a Bollywood blockbuster.
