	American Desi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		From Kris, an All-American boy from India, to Ajay, an Afro-Centric Hindu homeboy, to Farah, a devoutly religious but modern Muslim girl, 'American Desi' tells the story of a unique set of characters and their culture from a decidedly hip and youthful point of view.
		American Desi is being touted as a landmark film, and in a sense it is. If this film is released in India then the audience will finally see what NRI life is really like abroad.
		American Desi is very cleverly directed as it has all the Hollywood elements but the way Piyush has married the Bollywood concept of music, bad guy and parent’s wishes is hilarious.

	Movie Review : American Desi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		AMERICAN DESI, written-directed by Piyush Dinker Pandya, is a romantic comedy that focuses on the lives of second generation Indians in America.
		The witty one-liners and the sequences involving the roommates do bring a smile on your face, but the screenplay is not as riveting as one would've expected it to be.
		On the whole, AMERICAN DESI comes at a time when the popularity of MONSOON WEDDING and BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM is at an all-time high.

	Lung Cancer Issues - Jennings' Case Highlights Risk to Ex-Smokers
		According to the American Lung Association, about 87 percent of lung cancer cases are caused by smoking, and 40 percent to 50 percent of new cases may occur in former smokers.
		Because most lung cancers are diagnosed at a late stage, the five-year survival rate is only 15.2 percent, compared with 63 percent for colon cancer, 88 percent for breast cancer and 99 percent for prostate cancer, according to the American Lung Association.
		In 2005, lung cancer will take about 163,500 American lives and will maintain its place as the number one cancer killer, outpacing deaths from the second, third, fourth and fifth most common causes of cancer deaths combined, said Dr. Bill Solomon, associate professor of medicine at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York City.

	MRC FilmFinder-Full Record: American Desi
		Sort of a South-Asian-American version of the college and sex comedy like American Pie or Road Trip, with the same kind of crude humor, sex jokes, stereotyping [ethnic, sexual, what-have-you], but with a little twist of cultural identification crisis thrown in for effect.
		American Desi is not a good film because it is so obvious and predictable and worse, just plain unoriginal.
		Maybe an Indian filmmaker living in America will find the right touch for making a film about South Asians conflicted over becoming too Americanized or not knowing what elements of their culture to keep will come along.
