'American Desi' is a fun-loving romantic comedy reminiscent of the great teen films of the eighties like "16 Candles" and "Pretty in Pink," mixed with the fresh hip-hop style of "House Party" with a uniquely Indian flavor.?? From Kris, an All-American boy from India, to Ajay, an Afro-Centric Hindu homeboy, to Farah, a devoutly religious but modern Muslim girl, 'American Desi' tells the story of a unique set of characters and their culture from a decidedly hip and youthful point of view. Like the masala films of India, 'American Desi' is so full of music and dancing that it might very well do to Bhangra and Garba what "Saturday Night Fever" did to Disco!American Desi opens in a limited nationwide (USA) release Friday (in theaters near you, you lucky bastards.) Why is this the first I'm hearing of it? Sounds like a must-see. I was browsing PBS listings and came across an interesting looking film called "American Sons" about racism towards Asian American men. I haven't watched it yet, but I did notice that Peace Development Fund supported the film.
