everything be in place for this to be a real benchmark american bollywood fusion flick ( be there enough out there for that to be an actual genre . ) and but dylan mcdermott be so horribly miscast a aishwarya rai love interest that i be gag every time they share the screen . painfully unwatchable . how oafish and vapid and superficial can a guy be . really and this film could have be so much more powerful with a more appropriate male lead . the idea of the magic of the spice be a bit of a stretch for me at first and but aishwarya play it well and carry it off nicely . i like how the intent of each spice could turn on it head if the rule be not follow . great color . remember folk and listen to the chilies . they should have warn the cast director and heh heh .
