  Review: Bride and Prejudice   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Bride and Prejudice is bright, colorful, and exhilarating, and brings new dimensions to a story that has been told so many times that it's astounding to recognize that someone has found a fresh perspective.
Bride and Prejudice is one of the new breed of Hollywood/Bollywood offspring.
Bride and Prejudice uses many top Indian actors, and the style is heavily influenced by the Bollywood approach (which is famous for sprinkling lavish musical numbers throughout an otherwise dramatic production).

Beware literati of Yale: “Bride and Prejudice” is not a visionary reworking of Jane Austen’s masterpiece.
Bride & Prejudice is based, as the title suggests, on Austen’s 19th-century literary masterpiece about a spunky young woman from a genteel if asset-poor family whose future happiness with an equally formidable mate depends on her ability to overcome the obstacles of his pride and her prejudice.

 Asians In Media magazine | Bride and Prejudice by Gurinder Chadha - a review
Bride and Prejudice is essentially a musical, based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
Asian audiences alone could push Bride and Prejudice into the top 10, as they have been doing with recent Bollywood films, but as Chadha said to me, it was most definitely a British movie with a nod to Bollywood and Hollywood.
Fortunately Bride and Prejudice is nowhere near as tacky and cringingly bad.

 ricklibrarian: Bride and Prejudice   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Bride and Prejudice is not a realistic depiction of life in India, just as the Hollywood musicals of the 1930s stood far apart from the life of Depression Era America.
If there is a serious thought to be nursed after seeing Bride and Prejudice, it is that there are large, affluent Indian communities around the world, who work at preserving their traditions, but at the same time value much from American and European culture.
Bride and Prejudice should join A Passage to India, The Jewel in the Crown, Gandhi, Monsoon Wedding, and Shakespeare Wallah in public library collections.

"Bride & Prejudice," an update of Jane Austen’s "Pride and Prejudice," stars the inarguably gorgeous Rai and flies Bollywood’s stylistic course.
"Bride" falls short of "Beckham" on that front but beats the soccer film on a production level — the costumes and sets are ambitious and bright.
But "Bride’s" look seems forced and self-aware, as if its goal is to be noticed, not add to the story.

Bride and Prejudice is a Hollywood take on a Bollywood movie.
Intended as an East-meets-West contemporary variation on the Jane Austen novel on which the title riffs, Bride is a predictable romantic comedy so focused on the idea of getting hitched that it's only one marriage short of Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Bride and Prejudice seeks to portray the value of Indian life while occasionally indulging in stereotypes.

 Bride & Prejudice (2004): Aishwarya Rai, Martin Henderson, Daniel Gillies, Naveen Andrews - PopMatters Film Review
At the same time, because she is the oldest daughter of four, Lalita is also beginning to worry that she'll be left behind in the wedding sweepstakes that her household has become.
In Bride & Prejudice, Gurinder Chandha's lively Bollywoodification of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Lalita is at once the skeptic and the convert-to-be, the daring independent whose education involves coming to terms with both her constraining heritage and her desire to fit in.
Goa Groove)." It strikes you as you're watching the predictable reaction-shot inserts (Lalita is flirting with Wickham, so they look happy, Darcy scowls) that no one but this oddly in-betweener pop star could look so perfectly out of place and at ease at the same time, simultaneously appropriating and disconnected from her own performance.

 DVD Times - Bride And Prejudice
As Bride And Prejudice begins, a small town in India is hosting a wedding party, which suddenly erupts into a full scale Bollywood musical number as the town's young men and women dance flirtaciously and sing to each other in Hindi.
After that great beginning, Bride And Prejudice turns into a bland romantic comedy that uses its Indian setting merely as a colourful backdrop and eventually loses even that when the characters jet off to London and Los Angeles.
Not having read the novel, I don't know how closely Bride And Prejudice follows its storyline but I can't believe such a well-loved book could be quite this predictable.

Gurinder Chadha embarks on such a mission with Bride and Prejudice, an indianized version of Jane Austen's much loved classic Pride and Prejudice.

The attention led to her invitation to the airy hills north of London, where she is now playing the lead in Bride and Prejudice, Chadha's hotly anticipated follow-up to her hit movie Bend it Like Beckham.
Bride is a modern, Bollywood version of Jane Austen's classic, in which the Bennetts of Pemberley become the all-singing, all-dancing Bakshis of Amritsar.
The love stories were particularly indistinct: thousands of boys met thousands of girls (songs of joy!), broke up (songs of sorrow!), reunited (joy!) and led a cast of hundreds to a meadow outside Zurich for a leaping, ululating and face-achingly joyous finale.

Bollywood musicals are the Swiss Army Knives of the cinema, with a tool for every job: comedy, drama, song and dance, farce, pathos, adventure, great scenery, improbably handsome heroes, teeth-gnashing villains, marriage-obsessed mothers and their tragically unmarried daughters, who are invariably ethereal beauties.
In "Bride and Prejudice" she once again transcends boundaries.

She has a tremendous passion for what she does and her energy and enthusiasm of bringing a story to life, reverberates from the screen.
In her latest film ‘Bride and Prejudice’, she takes the classic Jane Austin novel (Pride and Prejudice), reworks it and sets it in modern India.
This is not as bizarre a combination as you might think, with the ideas on marriage completing a woman in Austen’s book, very similar to how marriage in valued and prized by families and society in India today.

 Reviews: Bride & Prejudice - Christianity Today Movies
Or, as the film's heroine translates it, "Anyone who's got big bucks is shopping for a wife." Or, as the pajama-clad sisters sing to an annoying melody, horsing around in a silly dance and hinting at their feminist aspirations, there's just "no life without wife." You get the theme of their prayers.
The lyrics of Bride and Prejudice's songs are cheesy, its editing is occasionally choppy, and its characters tend to be shallow.
Chadha's bio identifies her as "born in Kenya … an Englishwoman of Indian descent," so it should come as no surprise that Bride is yet another multi-cultural experiment.
