6. Bride and Prejudice
Bride and Prejudice is essentially a retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in modern day India. Lalita (Lizzie) and her sisters Jaya, Maya and Lahki live in Amritsar. Their mother is determined that they should all marry rich men, and so is delighted when Mr. Balraj arrives, along with his sister Kiran and friend William Darcy.
You can probably all tell where this is going, right?
But I enjoyed this, more than I've enjoyed some traditional retellings of Pride and Prejudice. I'm a big Bollywood fan, so I loved the music and dance. It's not true Bollywood, and is in English rather than Hindi, so if you're looking for a good introductory film this might be it.
It wasn't a meaningful film with deep messages, but it was good fun, had a happy ending, and some catchy songs. So if that sounds like your sort of thing, you'll probably enjoy this.
