    Great movie!

    I really enjoyed the movie. The different moods were captured pretty well.

    The acting from the new comers was not bad at all. I recommend people watch it. Deep Katdare is a good actor and has a bright future in front of him.

    Overall its a good fun movie for all.

    I saw it twice

    I saw Greencard Fever twice. I attended two special screenings before the release itself. I'm proud that this movie was taken in my home away from home, Columbus, OH. Apart from that, the movie itself was very very good. I have just bought a DVD of this movie from my friend in California. This is one of the rare Indian films which talks about racial issues very daringly. Not only that, its hilarious and romantic at the same time.

    Wow. Worst. Movie. Ever.

    This just might be the worst movie I have ever seen. This movie went beyond laughably bad, to just bad. The acting was unconvincing and the story was stupid. The worst thing about it is that the dearth of American movies featuring Indian actors causes Indian people to like the movie, regardless of how terrible it is (like "American Desi"). I rank this movie among the 5 worst movies I have ever seen in my life (along with "Batman and Robin"). I implore you to NOT see this movie, only because it will make people think that this is a movie worth watching. I apologize for all of the "hateful" comments, but this movie suffers from everything that goes into making a bad movie.

    Interesting idea

    Doing a film about immigration politics and still keeping it as a romantic comedy is a very interesting idea. It worked for me. I liked the young lawyer guy very much. He's very subtle in his performances. All the other actors needed more training as he apparently has. The film has a very unusual kind of humor. In a very sad scene, the illegal immigrants sit in their prison cell and talk about the famous hot coffee case of fast food joint, and it ends up with a hilarious punch, "American thighs are too costly.." I didn't know whether to laugh or not, but, couldn't stop laughing. Strange humor, but, original. Crew sounds like the amateur college folks who didn't know how to put a real-looking beard to an old character. Cast, writing, and directing was better than the technical parts.

    AWESOME MOVIE, GREAT ACTING

    I really loved the movie. it is 10,000 times better than the bollywood love triangles. This movie takes a serious look at the immigration system n the lives of illegal immigrants in America.

    I found the movie to b complete. It points out hard facts n they come on to u like a punch. It has very good acting by deep katdare n purva bedi. Even the lead actor 'murali' has done exceptionally well considering that it's his first movie. The comic scenes were outstanding. I was laughing non-stop.

    The movie has an original soundtrack which makes it different form this genre of movies. Moreover it is not an out n out funny movie but with a clear social message in the gripping climax. It really stands out n I enjoyed the movie thoroughly.

    A must see for everybody especially the south Asians. The movie is awesome n worth the money I purchased the DVD recently It is so nice n has no vulgarity or obscenity or bad language so u can watch the movie with ur entire family

    i liked the first room-mate character actor shobu played by aatif khan I guess who overshadowed the main lead like nething in the beginning He was very funny.

    Watch it n u wont b disappointed.
