This
adaptation of Jhumpa Lahiri’s best-selling novel about culture clashes
between second generation immigrants and their parents has a universal
resonance. Gogol (Kal Penn) struggles to fit in with his fellow New
Yorkers, despite his family's unwillingness to let go of their
traditional ways.
Rather like Monsoon Wedding, this is a lyrical film, and a meticulously observed study of character.
