i just couldn not relate to this film everything be over the top and cliché ridden . particularly the american part be fill with the stereotypical distorted view of america many indian have street crime commit by minority and homosexual and constant drinking and throw up and gun tot cop shoot a fleeing suspect and the racist and homophobic bengali turn ugly american . and of course the bengali girl who become a slutty american teenager . i doubt any american successful businessman and no matter what his real feeling be and would openly spout such racist and homophobic nonsense in this day and age . the kolkata part wasn not that much good either and it sure give the feel all old generation bengali be loser and young generation be all ape the west and again stereotypical characterization . andy the paragon of idealism come off a a mixture of an idiot and a snob . one other thing . i doubt rahul girlfriend sheela with her obvious westernized way and would be so averse to go to america . the less say about hasan the good . the one character i like be rakesh . the mixture of neither feel he belong in america fully and but at the same time know he cant go back and and deal with both realization be indeed something many expat go through ( altho i haven not hear the term second class citizen too many time these day ) . while one may forgive andy naiveté at think kolkata be still the baul music city of his dream and his lecturing to people right and leave about how to live come off a annoyingly snobbish rather than an artist reach out .
