Hollywood Bollywood

Rahul Khanna playing a suave millionaire Rahul Seth who is in love with his
Caucasian girlfriend Kimberly (Jessica Pare). Kimberly is a pop star
whom Rahul’s conservative mother (Mausami Chatterjee) and
grandmother (Dina Pathak) are unwilling to accept as their bahu.
However, Rahul believes that he is ‘western’ enough to rebel
against his mother and grandmother.
This eventuality never comes as Kimberly dies in an accident.
A bereaving Rahul is prodded by his mother to marry a ‘nice Indian
girl’. She even threatens to put off his sister’s wedding until
Rahul decides to tie the knot himself.
Rahul hits upon an ingenious idea and hires the services of Sue
‘Sunita’ Singh (Lisa Ray) to pretend as his Indian bride-to-be.
Sue detests Indian males for being ‘insensitive, sexist chumps’
but accepts Rahul’s offer as she needs money.
Emotional chaos follows after Sue comes close to Rahul’s entire
family, including his grandmother, his sister and younger brother and
even his chauffeur. It is not long before everyone, including Rahul,
begins to admire Sue. She also drops her preconceived notions about
Indian men.
