This sounds fun. I've long been a fan of Bollywood and I also really enjoyed Bride and Prejudice - hopefully this will be of the same quality.

Hiya Eliza, I had no idea or perhaps I didn't remember you like Bollywood things. Me too in some respects I have seen my share of Bollywood movies. "London" was the last one I saw and I remember some of Bride and Prejudice I wasn't keen on the story workover but it was interesting and I enjoyed the dancing. The costumes were gorgeous as they usually are just the guy who played the "Mr. Collins" I found not very good.

This sounds interesting though and read a further review and posting it here for you or anyone else who wants to read more about it.

I love the way this trailer looks I just wish that it was translated.
I see it as a Bollywood Clueless. Which I think will be brilliant.
