'Bride' Tops, 'Bewafaa' Shines!

 

It's BRIDE AND PREJUDICE all the way. Gurinder Chadha's latest flick has taken U.S.A. and Australia by storm and at the rate things are moving, the film is poised for a long, successful run in these two countries.


 

The latest Hindi release, BEWAFAA, has everything that the Indian diaspora looks for in a Hindi film - melodious music, a formidable star cast and a family-oriented theme. That explains why its opening weekend numbers in both U.K. and U.S.A. are impressive.
