The colors of India
Mar 03, 2005

Gurinder Chadha has transported Jane Austen's great novel to India. What a charmer this film turns out to be! The adaptation of the novel is excellent as the new locale is incorporated to the story. The incredible Indian colors explode... Full review

A really fun and entertaining movie which doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you. Possible SPOILERS ahead for those who haven't read the classic novel or watched the BBC Mini-series.P&P is my all time favourite book and I... Full review

Vibrant, colorful, hilarious and lively, this movie was a sheer joy to watch. A refreshing take on an old classic. But be warned, this movie will not appeal to everybody - especially those who don't go to watch it with... Full review
Bollywood Miramax style . . .

Chris Docker - imdb.com
Inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, this Western-style Bollywood musical can't possibly achieve the heights that a union of the best of East and West movie making and English literature might suggests, but it manages to fulfil a delightful... Full review

I just saw this movie at a press show, and I have to admit, it was magnificent. The whole movie was full of color and life, and it was so vibrant. The lyrics for some songs were a bit cheesy,... Full review

The actor dating Ashwairya, Martin Henderson, is the only relief in the otherwise boring movie.....The movie is painfully long and the tale misses originality.....Bride and Prejudice' is a meeting between a man too proud of his heritage and manners and a girl too prejudice, hates him since their first meeting.....The dialogues are flat, story line bores you and the actors can not pull it through as well..... ...

Nadira Babbar is wonderful as the matchmaking mum who will stop at nothing to make sure her daughters are properly married. Irrespective of the time shift when the story is set, the theme of finding the perfect match is timeless. ... Full Review

The Age
As if to complement the ABC's series of Sunday-night Jane Austen adaptations, here is Gurinder Chadha's Bollywood version of Austen's most beloved novel, Pride and Prejudice . For no acceptable reason (other than partial financier Miramax no doubt demanded it), New Zealand actor Martin Henderson spouts an awful American accent, while Kiran Bingley ( Indira Varma ) is reduced at times to explaining to US audiences what is going on, including translating some of the song lyrics. ...

The alluring green-eyed Rai, who is considered Bollywood's top leading lady and has several hit movies to her credit, including Bride and Prejudice, was named one of People magazine's 100 most beautiful people. The upcoming wedding of Bollywood stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai will be the greatest marriage in India's modern history and could be as big as that of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, a media report said today. ...

Bride and Prejudice" is an intellectuals' excursion into a mad pop genre; what ultimately limits it is the fact that Chadha, in making a crazy film, isn't quite nutty enough to turn it into a classic. The movie has its flaws, including a few weak performances and some catchy but forgettable songs, but they're mostly forgivable. ... Full Review
