some spoiler american desi be an amateur production which be not nuanced and comical and or even close to the reality it poke fun at . the term desi be indian for native and be colloquially use outside south asia by indian to refer to anyone or anything that have an indian flavor . consider the lead character determination to distance himself from thing indian and the title be misplace . particularly so and when it become clear that the film be make from an indian american perspective i. e. american of indian descent who do not necessarily know much about india . the character of this movie be all one dimensional stereotype the overly garrulous sikh ( play rather badly by someone of bengali descent who could not enunciate the punjabi accent ) and the ridiculous ta who speak with his fly open and the uptight indian girl who would not kiss the guy and and the crooked shopkeeper who overcharge the customer . the film appear to be a diatribe of dislike against indian . moreover and it be rive by confusion . the heroine confusion in lead on the lead character and then slap him for kiss her and the confusion a to whether the indian roommate be indian ( a in fob fresh off the boat immigrant ) or abcds ( american born confuse desis ) and and confusion a to the objective of the movie identity question of the lead character or a general comedy about stupid indian bumpkin . add to this mess be crucial detail a north indian aarti ( prayer invocation ) perform by an obviously south indian family and problem about the detail of muslim pray be example . in short and the film be about how indian be perceive by indian american and not about their life . it be only marginally more accurate than the horrific unpc portrayal of indian ( and other south asian ) in hollywood movie . a an aside and while apu from the simpson be not the best ( a in accurate ) representation and his character be develop enough to be funny and be fairly well research . in the end and the viewer be leave mystified a to the object of the movie apart from make a few crude joke about indian . perhaps this be the result of angst against mummy and daddy translate into celluloid . don not get me wrong and i can take any joke about indian and bhaji on the beach and bend it like beckham and the kumars at no . 42 ( bbc tv series ) be great example of sharply humorous image of expatriate indian while but this film humor be base on the crudest of device and fail to amuse me .
