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

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

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.

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 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.
