A beautiful Indian single mother living in Australia causes a scandal in her family when she falls in love with a white man. Yes, it is not only scandalous, it's really UNindian.
Director Anupam Sharma presides over a film bristling with supporting characters and plotlines of varying success: a melodramatic subplot involving Meera's former husband feels way out of place and references to sponsors are decidedly unsubtle.
There's no denying the film's upbeat feel, and it would be lovely to see the film make a killing here and in India as a reward for its sweet intentions, though it's hard to imagine even Lee's stature in India overcoming his stiffness on screen.
Lee's performance is like that of a malfunctioning microwave oven: while he can start and stop on cue, it would be unwise to consume what he is cooking.
