Bride & Prejudice

Four Stars: ˜˜˜˜
A colorful 2004 adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic Pride & Prejudice, this Bollywood production has universal appeal. Contemporary India provides a surprisingly equivalent alternative for the original Victorian England setting of the story. Ancient tradition (complete with arranged marriages) collides with the modern world to produce such archetypal characters as William Darcy, Lalita Bakshi, Mr. Kohli, and even Johnny Wickham.
MEMORABLE QUOTES
“I suggest you find yourself a simple, traditional girl to teach you to dance like the natives.”
“You should be stirring your husband's dinner not trouble.”
“He's about to transform into the Indian MC Hammer!”
