Average Rating: (See all 19 reviews) Format: DVD (PG) Quantity Available: 1 24 hour shipping Director Gurinder Chadha and the team that created Bend It Like Beckham put an entirely different spin on Jane Austen's story of spirited courtship - Bollywood style! Bride & Prejudice shifts the comic tale of a witty young woman trying to find a suitable husband, to a cross-cultural setting that spans 21st century India, London and America. The tale begins in a modest Indian village when the determined Mrs. Bakshi (Anupam Kher) sets out to find marriage matches for her four beautiful daughters while there’s a lavish wedding party in town. Right away, the smart and headstrong Lalita (Aishwarya Rai) announces she will only marry for love, giving her mother nightmares. Then Lalita meets the wealthy American Will Darcy (Martin Henderson) and sparks immediately fly. But is it love or hate? Darcy comes off to Lalita as an arrogant Californian snob. Lalita looks to Darcy like a small-town Indian beauty who knows nothing of the world. Alternately enchanted by and suspicious of one another, Lalita and Darcy nearly fall prey to assumptions, gossip and a comedy of errors... until pride is humbled and prejudice overcome so that love can triumph. Synopsis Jane Austen goes Bollywood in this explosively colourful extravaganza from the Writer and Director of Bend it Like Beckham. Part fantasy, part musical, part romantic comedy, BRIDE AND PREJUDICE takes Austens timeless masterpiece and pumps it up into a cross cultural feast of irony, hilarity and sequins. With its surreal flourishes, outrageous dance spectacles and infectious sense of humour, BRIDE & PREJUDICE is the most enjoyable Jane Austen screen adaptation since Emma became Clueless.

This is a wonderfully refreshing movie, - the modern day sound of music! Interesting songs, and a good story line, and more importantly stars a new zealand actor! This movie will get your toes tapping, and give a wonderful insight to the Indian culture.

bride and predjudice is a great movie! this movie has a great story line and plot. a great movie for the family to all get together and watch. the actors all work really well together and the characters they play are the ones you either love... or love to hate! i reccomend this movie to all! this is a movie you will watch over and over again. and with a price like this dont miss out!

this is a great movie. pride and prejudice, its has a good story about love and indian cautre,it has some music so pepole wont get bord watching it and they can aslso dance to some of the song. , as well as a really spectacular dance sequence. its has one of the most famouse indian actors in it who is also find is one of the hots actor in hollywood.
it's fun to wacth.

This movie, although somewhat lacking in substance, is a great way to introduce yourself to one of the greatest Bollywood actresses in existence. Aishwarya Rai is severely under-rated, and simply shines in this film. In fact Rai's performance is the only reason to watch, but well worth it!

this is a great take on an old fave, pride and prejudice, but with an indian and ethnic twist! there is some great music in this, really poppy and fun to dance to, as well as a really spectacular dance sequence. martin henderson (a kiwi!) shines in this role, he seems like a genuine nice guy. good watch!

This movie is a classic, I fell in love with it the first time I laid eyes on the screen, it seemed as the characters just melded together as they worked so well together, I was engulfed in the love and romance, No movie buff's collection is complete without this, it is just so beautiful, a movie in which words just can not describe, You will love, It was just so great watching I couldn't look away, I can hardly remember this movie as I watched it so long ago, But I still know I love it!

Such a great flick.

A great movie for some light entertainment - Pride and Prejudice meets Bollywood. Fantastic, bright costumes, great dance scenes and a fun twist on the classic Austen story.

This is one of my favourite movies for when I just want to kick back and relax.

Not for die-hard Austen fans who can't stand any variation to their beloved classic, but a fun watch for everyone else.

this is a really fun movie that lots of different people will enjoy. it has an interesting storyline teamed with catchy songs and colorful, vibrant costumes. My favourite scene/ song is when they are in their pijamas singing about the ugly guy. classic! hahahahaha so funny...... rent it for a movie night and you wont regret it!

Cute little synergy of east and west. Movie is colourful and vibrant. Not a bad choice for a easy light movie night.

This movie is bollywood in all of its glory. Well composed music, georgeous scenery and brilliant colours are a given in this slick offering, but unfortunately it relates to 'western' audiences as cheesy, and this is a shame. This is what happens when bollywood meets disneyland, and although it is an entertaining hour, I think it does the Indian movie industry a huge disservice.
