    • Trivia
      Jonathan Groff was only supposed to learn a couple lines from the song "Tujhe Dehka Toh" from Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol's Bollywood classic, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. He instead recited the entire song which shocked Karan Soni, the crew, and even onlookers.

    Lots of Laughs, Bollywood Background Helps

    Like everyone else around him, all Naveen wants is to find someone to fall in love with. While tip-toeing around his family, colleagues, and the world, his life is changed when he meets Jay. Now, for the sake of love, Naveen must get out of his comfort zone and do what must be done.

    This is a terrific romantic comedy that many people, especially young South Asians, can relate to, regardless of sexual orientation. The story explores more than the couple's relationship. It examines arranged marriages versus love marriages, the meaning of love, and the anxiety and trepidation immigrant parents feel in modern society and when connecting with their adult children. The film encompasses the entire range of human emotions while keeping it light and funny. The only drawback is that some background knowledge of Bollywood is necessary to fully appreciate it. The one-hour and thirty-six-minute investment in this film is well worth it and should be seen as soon as possible.
