Bride and Prejudice To Air on Ovation

Ovation, the Arts Network, is rapidly becoming my favorite cable channel. Bride and Prejudice, the Bollywood version of Jane Austen's classic, will be shown on Friday 27th March at 8:00pm EDT.
If you liked Bend it Like Beckham, then you will like this film by the same director, Gurinder Chada. If you loved the musical ending of Slumdog Millionaire, then you will love the musical numbers in this film. Martin Henderson is a yummy Mr. Darcy and Aishwarya Rai is a breathtakingly beautiful Lalita (Lizzy). Read a fine synopsis of the movie here.

The Bakshi (Bennet) Sisters

Jaya (Jane) and her Mr. Bingley

Mr.Wickham and Mr. Kohli (Collins)

The Bakshi (Bennet) Family

Darcy and Lalita
