Night of Henna (The Wedding Night) is a feature film written and directed by Hassan Zee, shot primarily in the San Francisco Bay area. In the film, Hava (Pooja Kumar), a beautiful Pakistani-American girl, returns fully grown to America after a traditional upbringing in Pakistan where her parents felt she would be untainted by American culture. Finding herself in an exciting new environment, Hava's eyes open to life's possibilities. She thinks her dream of going to the University will come true, but her marriage has already been arranged by her parents. As a result, Hava finds herself engaged in not just a clash of cultures, but a battle for her very survival as an individual. © -- Phenomenon Films [More]

Earnest and clumsy in equal parts.

Writer-director Hassan Zee makes naive storytelling choices that diminish the drama of the piece and muddle the message of cultural tolerance.

First time writer-director-producer Hassan Zee follows a well-worn theme -- the clash between generations of new immigrants -- in this mildly pleasant movie.

Offers no surprises as it wends its way to a contrived happy ending.

Mr. Zee's attempt to marry American-style realism with the big, artificial emotions of Indian and Pakistani popular film does not quite work, in spite of the evident love he brings to the project.

Writer-director Hassan Zee milks the full melodramatic measure from this formulaic clash-of-generations-and-culture storyline.

Zee's twentysomethings seem to live outside the pop matrix that would give their temptations a more urgent, mall-culture sheen.
