		MUCH of the credit has to go to director/co-writer Gurinder Chadha, who I recently sat down with in Washington, D.C., to discuss her film and its amazing universal appeal.
		Chadha chalks that up to her use of "real" characters, as opposed to Hollywood concoctions that rarely ring true because of cookie-cutter plotting.
		Chadha's previous films, which include "What's Cooking?" and "Bhaji on the Beach," have gained little exposure beyond the arthouse and film-festival circuits.

		We were kind of lucky because when we approached him it was just after the last World Cup, not this one just gone, the one before, where England were ignominiously booted out quite early on because David Beckham kicked an Argentinean player and got a red card.
		Gurinder: All the girls who play soccer in the film are proper footballers, they play with local teams in London, except the two lead girls.
		Gurinder: Yes, extremely pleased because both films are very warmly received and spoke to audiences in the same way that my film does.

	Gurinder Chadha Forum @ Filmbug
		Does anyone have a contact address for Ms chadha as i would like to send a letter or praise on to her, and send her a short novel- based on a true story from which i believe she may gain some inspiration.
		I understand she was brought up in England, and as an anglo-asian im sure she has experienced many hardships in errasing racial barriers, however i think it may be of benefit to hear the story of a young anglo-asian trying to lift the current racial barriers now.
		If gurinder were to follow any part of your suggestions her reputation would be in the toilet and her career would be over.

		But Chadha’s talent, energy, and sheer force of good cheer won me over: Bride and Prejudice is a jolly good time at the movies.
		Chadha opens on a shot of the Golden Temple in the holy city of Amritsar.
		Chadha has an eye for casting and visual color, and a knack for goosing the story along with modernized references (the traditionalists' disdain for practices like "texting boys") and, of course, the musical numbers (to underline the multicultural celebration, Chadha incorporates a mariachi band and a gospel choir).

	Asians In Media magazine \| Bride and Prejudice by Gurinder Chadha - a review
		Just before Gurinder Chadha launched the preview for her new movie Bride and Prejudice, she told the audience not to take into account her previous hit Bend It Like Beckham.
		Gurinder obviously has a long standing relationship with them and joined the board recently, but there is a distinct feeling with many that many bodies still have a problem funding projects which are by ethnic minority film makers.
		Lastly, while Gurinder Chadha cares how well the movie will do, I doubt that limited success will be a big setback as it once could have been.

		I think it is important to remember this was Aish's first movie in English which is remarkable, it's an incredibly hard task and she handled it with extreme elegance.
		Gurinder was very keen for Lalita to be a very normal looking girl, not somebody who fusses about how they look - a girl next door type.
		Gurinder Chadha: [laughing] Yes, actually I wasn't happy with the way Aish looked, I didn't think she was attractive enough, I said I wanted her to look more like me, pile on a few stone, get fat, and then we'll be alright!
