Bollywood/Hollywood

Trailer for Bollywood/Hollywood. When people from a culture largely defined by Bollywood find themselves in an environment that is saturated with Hollywood, the result is a state of mind that celebrates these two seemingly disparate worlds. From Deepa Mehta, the acclaimed director of Fire and Earth comes Bollywood/Hollywood, a madcap love-song to both East and West with Bollywood music, Hollywood choreography, North American locations, and Bollywood stars. Rahul Seth is a dashing young millionaire dating a beautiful, Caucasian pop star who his parents are none too fond of. Before you can say 'karmic intervention,' Kimberly dies in a freak accident and Rahul is devastated. Instead of allowing him to mourn in peace, Rahul's domineering mother sees the opportunity she's been waiting for and threatens to call off his sister's wedding unless he finds himself a 'nice Indian girl.' Rahul enlists the services of Sue, a fiercely independent escort whom he believes to be Hispanic, but thinks could pass inspection.
