While worshiping at a temple, soft-spoken doctor Naveen Gavaskar (Karan Soni, Deadpool) meets Jay (Tony Award winner Jonathan Groff), a white man adopted by Indian parents. When Naveen finally brings Jay home to meet his traditional Indian family as his fiancé, they must contend with accepting his white-orphan-artist boyfriend and help the couple plan the Indian wedding of their dreams.
Through comic misunderstandings, frank fights, and emotional revelations, director Roshan Sethi (7 Days, 2021 SAFF) creates a sweetly hilarious and moving portrait of an unexpected couple finding each other and a family attempting to reconcile their expectations and beliefs with the love they have for one another. This latest comedy from Roshan Sethi is a jubilant rom-com that delights in defying expectations and will leave a smile on your face.
Please note, there are no Enzian Film Society Member discounts or table reservations for South Asian Film Festival films.
