i watch pardes about 3 day ago . it be midnight and i have no wish to see a movie which be three hour long . i be go to only see about the first 30 minute of it but this movie be so good that i watch it all the way through . many reviewer have say that this film be anti american propaganda and tereotypes nris . a an nri myself and i must greatly disagree with conclusion like these . this movie be nothing short of a masterpiece . the exaggeration of indian moral and of western vice be do for a reason and and a very good reason at that . the director show the audience the best of india and the bad of america to make the viewer appreciate the indian culture our parent try to impart to u . grant and there be some line that the american bad son ( rajiv ) say which be ridiculous and comical and such a represent paul represent we be go to india . to fight . rajiv represent yes . paul represent but that be not right . rajiv represent why . paul represent we be not bad people rajiv and we be good indian . rajiv represent ( while shake his head ) but i be bad and paul . in all candor and i do not know of any american who speak like this ( or of any other human being for that matter ) . the movie have hyperbole like this throughout it . however and let u put all the card on the table at this point . i know for a fact that many nris look upon their homeland with disdain . they would not even visit it and much less want to stay there . but guess what . this movie isn not aim at that audience . it be aim at indian who have not forget that without the culture impart by their motherland and they would never be a successful and nor have the extended family we take for grant . basically and if youre an abcd or an nri who have live in america for 10 plus year and you would not enjoy this movie and probably because many immigrant adopt the way of the denizen ( just human nature to do so i suppose ) . lastly represent i be go to be start medical school next year and i will definitely be take this movie with me . if i should forget who i be . what i be . i know that i can watch this film and remember . a hindustani .
