Solid choice. The movie handled the NRI experience well for its time. Though I have to respectfully disagree, I think the plot was a bit too simplistic. But the music? Undeniably iconic.

The golgappa tray photo is the most relatable thing I've seen all day! We all have that one friend who enables the pani puri cravings. 😂

Akshay Kumar was in his prime then. The scene where he explains Indian values in the London pub is still powerful. Good to see TV actors appreciating classic Bollywood.

More than the movie, I'm jealous of that pani puri feast! Street food cravings are real. Also, Nia is killing it on Splitsvilla, she brings great energy to the show.
