So, I'm really not sure what to say about this Bollywood version of my beloved "Pride and Prejudice". The story, the music, the colors, the visuals, the glamorous settings, two attractive main characters, everything is there. However, I am just not loving it as I should be. I'll explain in a bit.
Quick summary of the story in case you don't know:
"The main plot focuses on the relationship between wealthy workaholic Will Darcy (Martin Henderson) and Lalita Bakshi (the "Elizabeth Bennett" role, played by Aishwarya Rai), the second daughter of a middle-class Indian couple. When Darcy arrives in Lalita's hometown of Amritsar, it's contempt at first sight, but as these two mismatched individuals get to know one another, love blooms. There are plenty of complications, not the least of which are Lalita's pride and Darcy's prejudice."
The film is enjoyable, light-hearted, funny at times, bright and colorful. However, some scenes are too obnoxious and loud, the relationship between Darcy and Lalita was developed too quickly, Darcy is way too pretty and not enough darkness in him, the lip-synching during musical numbers are hard to watch, and the whole idea that everybody (except Darcy) in the story are Indians is just a bit hard to grasp. It's difficult for me to accept a different approach to a story that I know so well, especially when the "Pride and Prejudice" miniseries(with Colin Firth) is still so deeply-rooted in my mind.
Also, please be warned, watching Sayid from "Lost" gettin' jiggy wit' it was an extremely painful experience.
After watching this, I think I'm anticipating the more traditional "Pride and Prejudice" remake that's due out end of this year more than ever now.
