Bollywood/Hollywood (2003)

Rahul Seth (Khanna) is a dashing young millionaire who believes he is &#65533western&#65533 enough to rebel against his mother (Chatterjee) and grandmother (Pathak). They are not too keen about his Caucasian girlfriend Kimberly (Par&#65533) who, to make matters worse, is a pop star. Before you can say &#65533karmic intervention,&#65533 Kimberly dies in a freak accident and Rahul is devastated. Instead of allowing him to mourn in peace, Rahul&#65533s mother sees the opportunity she&#65533s been waiting for. She threatens to call off his sister&#65533s (Malik) wedding unless he finds himself a nice Indian girl. What to do? Easy. Rahul enlists the services of Sue (Ray), a fiercely independent escort whom he believes to be Hispanic, and therefore not &#65533married&#65533 to the conventions taught to young Indian women. With a wink in her eye, Sue accepts the deal to pose as his Indian bride-to-be. She needs the money and having never been a fan of the typical Indian male, she feels her heart is safe. The charade begins and this match borne out of necessity seems like it might work until things take an unexpected turn. Emotional chaos ensures when Sue endears herself to Rahul&#65533s family. She cracks a tough nut like his grandmother, becomes friends with his sister and younger brother and even calls the shots with his chauffeur (Chowdhry). It seems that everyone is falling in love with Sue. Even, perhaps, Rahul. During the course of his sister&#65533s wedding celebrations, Sue breaks through Rahul&#65533s tough exterior and helps him find his heart again. And through all this, Rahul helps Sue realize that not all Indian men are insensitive, sexist chumps. The fall in love and live happily ever after. Well, not yet. Heartbreak is imminent. Rahul begins to questions himself. Can he accept Sue for who she is and what she represents? Someone who is so far removed from who he finally realizes he is: a traditional Indian man. Can true love triumph over social convention? More »
