After one too many heartbreaks, shop girl Gulrez has no hope of finding a husband, until she meets a spicy chef who might just be to her taste. The only problem is she’s trying to con him and his family using the 498a dowry law of India so she can get to America. This is less a romance than I expected and less a comedy. It’s not nearly as charming as I’d have hoped. The initial description bills it more as a romcom and there’s a bit more to it but it’s far more convoluted than I expected. That’s not to say it’s bad, far from it, just not nearly what I was expecting from the film. The leads are fun and it’s got the whole opposites attract thing going for it.
