Flavors centers around the cross-cultural wedding between American WASP Jenni (Jicky Schnee) and Rad (Anupam Mittal), whose Indian parents (longtime Bollywood regulars Anjan Srivastava and Bharati Achreker) are forced to negotiate a middle ground between traditional Indian culture and the culture shock induced by their blonde-haired future daughter-in-law. Meanwhile, immigrant housewife Sangita (Sireesha Katragadda) is given a reprieve from her lonely existence when her recently laid-off husband spends his days at home with her. Rounding out the film are Kartik (Reef Karim) and Racha (Pooja Kumar), a couple whose lives on opposite sides of the country have left them dependent on electronic means of communication. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly
Innocuous but too-cutesy affair.
-
Richard James Havis, Hollywood Reporter
A good-natured Indian-American romantic comedy in the style of Bend It Like Beckham.
-
Joshua Land, Village Voice
The constant cell phone chatter and pervasive split screen do little to prop up a limp, poorly structured screenplay.
-
Dave Kehr, New York Times
Bright, good-spirited and blissfully short for Bollywood, at a mere 118 minutes.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
There's enough schmaltz in the romancer Flavors to keep a second-rate TV sit-com going for an entire season, and then some.
