This adaptation of Jhumpa Lahiri’s best-selling novel about culture clashes between second generation immigrants and their parents has a universal resonance. Gogol (Kal Penn) struggles to fit in with his fellow New Yorkers, despite his family's unwillingness to let go of their traditional ways.

Rather like Monsoon Wedding, this is a lyrical film, and a meticulously observed study of character.
