Synopsis
Bride & Prejudice (2004) is a Bollywood-infused romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Gurinder Chadha transplants Jane Austen's novel to a small Indian city, swapping the English drawing rooms for vibrant song-and-dance sequences and trading Mr Darcy's estate for a California resort. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan plays the sharp-tongued Lalita, Martin Henderson her reluctant love interest Will Darcy.
Mrs. Bakshi has one goal: marry off her four daughters before the family's next social event. Lalita has different plans. She finds Darcy arrogant, he finds her provincial, and the more they argue the more obvious things become to everyone except themselves.
A UK-US-India co-production with a soundtrack that brings in pop singer Ashanti, the film is unapologetically bright and cheerful — a good call if you want a romcom that actually has something to dance to. Stream Bride & Prejudice online on iFILM.
