Director Sarah Gavron and screenwriter Abi Morgan team to adapt author Monica Ali's award-winning novel about a young girl from Bangladesh who finds the spark in her soul slowly fading after traveling to London for an arranged marriage. As a child, Nazneen (Tannishtha Chatterjee) was always told that she was a survivor. Now, as a young adult, she must contend with the sudden death of her mother. Her father arranges her marriage to a man she has never met, and she gets shuttled off from her quaint village to a working-class neighborhood in East London, as the bride of Chanu (Satish Kaushik), where she earns extra income via sewing. At first, the newlywed Nazneen does her best to be a devoted wife and loving mother. It's a lonely life, and as the pompous ineffectual Chanu does his best to fit into British society, the bored housewife finds herself increasingly drawn to Karim (Christopher Simpson), the hotheaded fellow who delivers pants to her door for various sewing jobs. The two lapse into an impassioned affair, but Chanu grows increasingly determined to marry Nazreen himself, especially as his own politics become more and more radical in the wake of 9/11. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In this remake of the 1997 Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy of the same name, a young career woman must choose between the love of her life and the job of her dreams. When Pooja (Kirti Reddy) takes a vacation in Agra and meets renowned artist Kabir (Abhishek Bachchan) it's love at first sight -- for the artist at least. Though Pooja is attracted by Kabir's undeniable talent, her true heart lies with her disapproving boss Mr. Oberoi's (Kader Khan) business-minded son Raj (Sanjay Suri). Just as Mr. Oberoi decides to terminate Pooja from the company for frequently arriving tardy, Pooja's scheming co-worker Maggi (Johnny Lever) comes up with a foolproof plan for Pooja to keep her job. By using pictures of Pooja and Kabir to convince the boss that his absent-minded employee is engaged to be married, Maggi manages to save salvage Pooja's job -- but not without a catch. When Kabir gets word that Pooja has announced their engagement, the hapless Pooja must convince her "fiancé" that it's all a big misunderstanding while simultaneously expressing her true feelings to the unassuming Raj. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A man tries to bring a modern view of marriage to old India in this musical romance. Vijay (Anil Kapoor) is a successful businessman who, after a long stay in the United States, comes home to India to oversee his family's business affairs. His father Vishwanath (Anupam Kher) thinks it's time Vijay settled down, and attempts to arrange a marriage between his son and Megha (Kajol), the pretty daughter of a middle-class family. Vijay objects to the notion of arranged marriages, and agrees only under one condition -- that if he is not happy with Magha after one year, he is free to walk away. Megha grudgingly agrees to the arrangement, and soon comes to enjoy marriage with Vijay, especially since he accords her a degree of independence more common in the west than in India. However, after twelve months, Megha thinks all is going well, and hopes to start a family with her husband when Vijay announces he intends to leave her under the terms of their agreement. Angry, Megha leaves Vijay, and he soon finds he deeply regrets turning away his bride. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
