Bridging the GAP

Remember cricket playing & samosa making scene……NRI subject is high @ NewAgeCinema circuit. But gone are the days when ABCD and cross cultural relationships like Mississippi Masal or Bride & Prejudice provided the shock value.

Now latest flicks illustrate the fear factor of the likes of Kanta bahen (of kal ho na ho) coming true…….

Goodness Gracious Me team is back with zohra sehgal, saeed jaffrey, Jimi Mistry, om puri & roshan seth again pouring their talents in two Desi Diaspora films……….Chicken Tikka Masala and Touch of Pink. Movies are on the issue of gays and traditional Indian family. Signs of this subject started from movies like East is East (when elder son runs away to become hair dresser) & Bend it like Beckham (when jess friend fancy David Beckham)…………

Now what remain remains to be seen that for how successful this relationship on communal acceptance…..and can bridge the thinking GAP so that at the end producers can say Gay And Proud.
