Jane Austen's romantic comedy, Pride and Prejudice, has been adapted into countless plays, television productions, and films. It also has formed the basis of many other projects, such as Bridget Jones' Diary. Now, Gurinder Chadha (of Bend It Like Beckham fame) brings us Bride and Prejudice, which has cleverly adapted Austen's novel into a fun, Indian 'Bollywood' spectacle. If you suspend disbelief, and accept it for what it is, you'll quickly find your toes tapping to this irresistibly likeable musical.
Set in modern India, Lalita (Aishwarya Rai) lives with her parents and three sisters in a country town, Amritsa. Lalita is bright and confident, and even a little outspoken and stubborn. She is in no hurry to marry, which infuriates her pushy, marriage-hungry mother, Mrs. Bakshi (Nadira Babbar).
Balraj (Naveen Andrews), is a successful UK barrister of Indian descent. Balraj visits Amritsa for a friend's wedding, but he is also looking for an Indian wife of his own. Balraj brings with him his seemingly arrogant and rude American hotel-heir friend, William Darcy (Martin Henderson).
Lalita and Darcy meet, but after an initial attraction, they begin to bicker incessantly. Through a series of misunderstandings between the two, the calculating cad, Wickham (Daniel Gillies), makes a play for Lalita's attention.
With its carnival-like feel, there are a riot of colours and sounds and some great dance scenes, choreographed by the highly acclaimed Saroj Khan. Bride and Prejudice is still filled with surprises, for example, being Bollywood, the characters spontaneously burst into song, and a ready cast of beautifully costumed, smiling singers and dancers flood the elaborate sets to join in the fun.
