Meera is an Indian woman living with her parents and daughter in Sydney, Australia. Her parents are constantly trying to set her up with eligible Indian men. Will teaches "Australian English" to immigrants at a University. Will meets Meera and is immediately smitten by her. After some initial reluctance, Meera gives in to Will's charms. However, their relationship is unlikely to be plain sailing - Meera's parents wouldn't approve of her seeing a non- Indian man and are likely to try to sabotage the relationship. So they have to keep the relationship a secret. Meanwhile, Will is being followed by a mysterious stranger...Underwhelming. Pretty basic, weak and predictable plot. The writer had some good intentions, showing the (refreshing) lack of boundaries between different cultures and ethnic groups. The movie also tackles individualism and free-mindedness over blind tradition and meddling older generations.However, it is all so clumsily and patronisingly told, and really doesn't go anywhere you didn't expect. Characters are quite one- dimensional and largely stereotypical.Former cricket star Brett Lee, in his first acting role, isn't too bad as Will. Not entirely convincing but some of this is due to the script and he could have been a lot worse. Best performance comes from Tannishtha Chatterjee as Meera. Other performances are a mixed bag, with the Indian parts generally being played well and the Anglo- Saxon parts played lamely. Even John Howard (not the former PM) in his small part seems unnatural and unconvincing.Only worth watching if you're a cricket fan and want to see if Brett Lee can act. Turns out he's okay but certainly no Marlon Brando.
I don't know many of you familiar with Brett Lee or not, Cricket playing nations definitely knows him and for rest of the world he is bowling legend.I saw him before in one of the Indian music videos, he is good. The movie is very simple and easy going, also shows about the life of Indians living in Australia."Tannishtha" is lovely and mature actress but we have also one of the very famous actor in the movie "Gulshan Grover", talented and awesome actor played a small but effective role in the movie.Overall, I will give it 6/10 rating, go on watch this movie. Happy Ending as we all love it.
Awful Movie , No Talent Of Acting Seen From Anyone Except Brett Lee. Without Him, The Movie Would Have Been Biggest Flop Of Century. I have no idea why lee would act for such a horrible movie like this bad.I usually don't write reviews but i had no choice. The movie so bad.Short Summery Of The Worst Film I Ever Seen- Former cricketer Brett Lee, remembered as one of the fastest bowlers in the history of the sport, has made a ballsy career switcher from the oval to the big screen – starring as the male lead in a cross-cultural Australian MGM about a sweet Caucasian bloke and a beautiful Indian woman with conservative heritage.Joining director Anupam Sharma's film UnIndian hardly suggests a cash-in of the Michael Jordan in Space Jam ilk. One suspects this deal was rather less lucrative, meaning Lee's move into acting was presumably because he actually wanted – the horror, the horror – to become an actor.
UNindian is a heartwarming charmer of an Indian single mother with a young daughter and parents(as Indian as they can be). Bret lee(already a favorite of many) comes into her life and falls for her simplicity immediately. This movie shows the struggle a single mother has to go through in society and even in her family all because she fell in love and that to someone from a different religion. I wasn't expecting much of a film, but I was pleasantly surprised. The film sped along with me never looking at my watch and I enjoyed every second of the film. OK so the story line is nothing new, and the classic story lines are contained within the film but it's all done very funnily, and with a breath of fresh air. The film moves very fast and keeps the audience entertained. The occasional funny moments are a good chuckle and not some poor attempt at humor. Thus, if you're looking for a film that is easygoing, uplifting and comfortably old-fashioned in its demeanor, this is it.
