    Cute "opposites attract" movie!

    Funny things happen when two strangers looking for a new roommate bump into each other.

    For a low budget film, I think the acting was very good. Definitely worth watching once!

    If you like romantic comedies or comedy-of-errors type of stories, you will surely enjoy this hidden gem.

    Some of the lighting and sound could have been a little bit better in parts but then again that's why it is called low-budget indie filmmaking, I guess.

    The main lead guy was cute... in his own weird way :)

    Great Comedy!

    This project was so much fun to work on! Kash has a great comedy writing skill and he did a great job of getting great characters to play out this hilarious movie! The most difficult part of filming was to hold our laughter in. The journey of Anita searching for "The Perfect Roommate" had elements we can all relate to but all told through Kash's comedic points of view. Some of the best scenes in the movie were improvised and had elements of the actors personalities which gives this movie a great personal touch. If you are looking for raw comedy and great slapstick comedy this is a movie to see. One of the most fun sets I have worked on and a fun cast. Who would have ever imagined it would be this hard to find "The Perfect Roommate"?

    Fun film with great humorous moments! Enjoy this creation of art!!!

    This was a FUN project to work on and I really enjoyed watching the final product. Kash Sen is a great writer and director and has such a fun spirit of play that makes every second of being on set with him, play not work! He has a wonderful ability to tell a story and 'The Perfect Roommate' showcases this talent. You will be entertained while watching and of course, a few laughs will escape your lips at unexpected moments. What a great element of surprise in the humor. The actors paint a good picture of the difficulty of finding the perfect roommate and to our advantage, as we get to watch and relive in our minds our own stories in similar situations as well. Part of the humor comes from the realistic approach to this situation. Grab your popcorn and enjoy this fun flick! :)

    Great fun!

    What a wonderful collaborative effort! Great script and really charming performances from all the actors. It's such a great concept as well! The characters have very interesting arcs. A romping tale about discovering yourself - but not in that "becoming an adult" or high school way - a discovery tale for young adults or anyone who still feels they have something to learn about themselves and each other. I love the mix of scripted and improvised performance as well - so great to see in a film! Must've been about half and half and it turns out very cohesive. It's a hard thing to do but this film did it! Watch this if you want some fun!

    Fun watch!

    Young, Refreshing, and Relevant—that's how I'd describe this movie. The entire cast has given great performances. It was also good to see some familiar faces in interesting roles. The story is based on situations we've all come across in our lives. We all remember our hunt for the perfect roommate, don't we? The very real situations make it a very relevant script. The comic moments, played out so well, give one a good laugh. The Perfect Roommate will also give you a flavor of Bollywood with the featured dance number.

    It is artistic and creative, with it's moments of classic humor. It is a different, light- hearted script. The Perfect Roommate is a fun watch!
