Synopsis:
Based upon the best-selling novel by Jhumpa Lahiri and brought to screen by acclaimed Indian director Mira Nair, this vibrant celebration of love, loyalty ad family will stir your senses and touch your heart. Kal Penn stars as Gogol Ganguli, a suburban teenager who finds himself caught between his Indian roots and his American birthright as he searches for his own identity. From Calcutta to New York, Googol and his Indian-born parents must somehow strike balance between age-old tradition and the modern-day sensibilities as they search for a patch of common ground.

An intelligent story relating to the changing dynamics affecting a family growing up in both India and America. Beautifully acted, moving and with some fun elements. Also some very interesting shots taken in India.  Recommended.
