Review of Pardes (1997) by Asl?Han E — 22 Aug 2008
The catchy songs and interesting cross-cultural themes make this movie entertaining, but it's still the least impressive Bollywood movie I've seen and I'm surprised it's considered a classic.
Most attempts at humor are cringe-worthy, as are a handful of the characters, and the plot is even more cheesy and predictable than I'd been prepared for. Mahima Chaudhry's beauty is stunning and Shahrukh Khan has charisma to spare, so it's too bad that they and the rest of the cast were stuck playing characters whose actions, and overreactions, I had trouble believing.
