Tim M @Tim1957 Mar 17 I watched this musical on the Roku Channel with my wife of 42 years this evening. I only wish that it would have lived up to the ending Bollywood dance number and the end credits. The first 90 minutes of the film would have benefited considerably by a final draft of the script by Mel Brooks. A number called "Springtime For Ghandi" would have been refreshing. Also a rendition of "Prisoners Of Love" by Donald Sutherland and Tyne Daily would have been scintillating.

As an Indian, I found it not only insulting but incredibly ignorant. The film is filled with ridiculous stereotypes that are outdated and offensive, making a mockery of Indian culture. The portrayal of Indian people is shallow, and it seems like the director has no clue about the real India or the people who live here. The setting is a cartoonish version of India that exists only in the minds of those who have never bothered to learn about the country. This film is not just a disappointment; it’s a disgrace. It does more harm than good by perpetuating harmful stereotypes. The creators should be ashamed for producing such a tasteless and culturally insensitive movie. Avoid this film at all costs if you have any respect for genuine cultural representation. See more Gerard M @GermWald 08/04/2024 Revolting story & vacuous dialogue - avoid this like dysentery.

Starts as a simple little journey to make sure things are okay and then you find yourself immersed in the love story and the things that people will do for money. It's a beautiful experience and reminds you that there are good people in the world despite the overwhelming amount of bad and that people can change things if they truly want to. It honestly made me feel good and want to contribute more to help the world. Yes, it's corny, but it's truly a breath of fresh air in the sad world we live in.

I've seen nearly all Brie Larson's films & this one is EASILY my favorite!  Just to hear her lovely singing voice is a real treat, and the simple yet charming "fish out of water" story line is thoroughly entertaining!  Add to that a superb supporting cast, and you have a true gem of a film, sure to please the entire family!
