Bollywood/Hollywood
|
Rahul Seth, a young, dashing Toronto dot.com millionaire, believes he is "Western" enough to rebel against his mother and grandmother, especially when it comes to marriage. When his white girlfriend dies in an accident, his family pressures him to marry a good Indian girl - before his younger sister's wedding. After wrestling with his struggle for independence and his duty to the family, Rahul attends his sister's wedding, accompanied by Sue, an expensive, intelligent and fiercely independent escort who poses as his "Indian" fiancée. Sue, however, is not what she appears to be... With Hollywood's penchant for romance and Bollywood's fondness of hyperbole, Bollywood/Hollywood is a fun-loving romp of a movie where the unpredictable is the only constant.

Director
Toronto-based writer, director and producer Deepa Mehta's feature films include Sam & Me (1990), winner of a Golden Camera - Special Mention at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, Camilla (1993), which starred Jessica Tandy and Bridget Fonda, and the films Fire (1996) and Earth (1998), the first two parts of a projected trilogy. Deepa Mehta was forced to abandon the shooting of Water, the third part of her trilogy, when controversy surrounding the film erupted in India in 2000.
