Jack Mathews
New York Daily News

Veers between the light naturalism of American television and the pulsing melodrama of Bollywood entertainment.Full Review

Dave Kehr
The New York Times

Kapadia's intelligent, nuanced performance is the film's highlight, balanced by Khanna's portrayal of Nashaad, who could easily be a patronizing, chauvinist caricature.Full Review

Maitland McDonagh
TV Guide

The film is not without humor or conflict, but it is a complex coming-of-age story that places a premium on independence and attacks sexual hypocrisy.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

Most of the dialogue is in English, almost all of the story takes place in the U.S., and there is none of the kitschy fun that gives Bollywood flicks their charm.Full Review
