My most favorite movie of all time! So full of color and life, Beautifully choreographed, you can't help but sing to the songs. A must see! Set in such a scenic part of India, you will fall in love. Aishwarya's beauty radiates throughout the entire film, as does all of the young actresses. Sari's are worn in the brightest of colors, you wont want to miss a second! I can not express enough of how much I truly enjoyed this film, India is definitely on my list of travels after watching this movie. Gurinder Chadha, the producer of this film has completely captured the essence of an old story line, given it a Bollywood twist and presented it in such a way, that western countries can relate to it as well. Thoroughly enjoyed this film and I can't rate it highly enough

I found this film to be very artistically portrayed. With an increased sense of symbolisms (such as Rana's breakdown in the car, and her plastic bag that she carries everywhere with her), words were not necessary to tell the mood or the meaning of the scene. One of my favorite Arabic movies so far with a fantastic soundtrack. Clara Khoury was a brilliant actress with her sullen mood and meaningful thoughts through the film. In summary, her fathers ultimatum, which gives shape to the whole movie shows the cultural overtones in a traditional Palestinian world. Rana must choose for herself what she wants in life, with or without her fathers blessing. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and I would rate it a 10/10
