Ok, this movie wasn't a "great." There was a low budget feel, the acting and script were mediocre. Yet, interracial and intercultural romances, especially with non-European leads, need to be told. So, there wasn't a great love story here... you didn't fall in love with the characters because they were shallow; there were definite plot flaws (like why a character would take a certain opportunity offered at the end of the movie when it didn't correspond with previously stated goals and ideals.) The dancing was incredibly poor (serious actors take classes and study the art form to look at least passably convincing or hire a body double). But at least someone represented an intercultural love story, perhaps opened the way for discussion, understanding, curiosity, interest, between people of different backgrounds. So, I support this movie... and I'll forget about it entirely in a few days and never think of it again.

I appreciated the integration of the races as well as the integration of the cultures and lifestyles. The reality of how most parents and families react towards interracial marriage was well captured. The chat between the director"Leela" and Raj's mum pointed at things people should consider before allowing differences in race and culture to consume our thoughts. It could have been a bit more profound though. Loved the behind the scenes, the mix of races dancing and bonding was lovely. This movie should be projected in communities where there is racial divide. Congrats to the cast and crew.

The film has its moments and the bones to be a good romcom.

The attempt to address racism and to merge Bolly- and Nollywood was commendable but the acting, the dialogue, the storyline all could have been slicker.

The only thing that I don't like about this movie is the way there was little or no interaction with the Nigerian or Indian environment.

Beautiful romantic movie.

What a world class acting, absolutely just wow, there are no words to explain, I literally cringed. Talk about the acting though, the story script, it's something out of this world. The ambience of the movie seems fine.
