Plot: Mira Nair, the Indian director, scored an international art-house hit with her feature debut, Salaam Bombay!, a tale of life in the streets of seething urban India. Her next film was a surprisi...( read more read more... )ng turnabout: Mississippi Masala is a cultural study and a love story set in the rural American south. The love story comes courtesy of Denzel Washington, as a rug cleaner, and Sarita Choudhury (from Nair's Kama Sutra), as the daughter of Indian immigrants running a small-time motel; both give fresh, charming performances. But Nair is equally interested in capturing the feelings of an exile's life, and Roshan Seth, the fine actor who played Nehru in Gandhi, superbly catches the hope and sorrow of dislocation. Although the issues are serious, Nair maintains a breezy, naturalistic approach, and the various ingredients of this masala blend into a rich, flavorful stew. --Robert Horton

    What a wonderful romance about interracial dating and love. People will see that even people of Color can be some bigots. Denzel and Sarita heat up the screen.

    Denzel and Sarita did a good Job! A very good movie, if you ever been to Ms, then you know this movie was film there for real! I know i just left there in Oct 07! But it is a good lesson on race and how not only black and white have issues but races from other countries also have issues with black people when they come to this country!

    Another good Nair film. I was thinking I had seen them all but I think I've missed Salaam Bombay. Anyway, I thought this was good movie, nice love story but the story of the father would have been more interesting. Still good though.

    One of the most interesting movies i've seen. It discusses race from another point of view that wasn't really known to me. Mira Nair talks about race issues between Indians and Blacks when they are more often from the same place. the plot is excellent. What was most admirable in this movie is the writer/director's ability to merge three cultures (Uganda, india, Southern USA) into an enchanting love story.
