A Nice Indian Boy

Screenwriters Eric Randall and Madhuri Shekar give us believable characters with a believable connection,

Director Roshan Sethi delivers a big-hearted rom-com that will make you smile, sniffle, and, best of all, feel better about the world.

The film doesn't look deeply at the traditions it's variously spoofing or employing, or the psychology of its characters, but it brings plenty of color, music and Bollywood flair to getting its two lovebirds to finally sing in harmony.

Soni and Groff elevate the humor, and the supporting cast gives everything a lived-in feel. The script is a tad shaggy but the movie’s brief runtime and exuberance more than make up for it.

A Nice Indian Boy earns its clichés with sincerity and good humor.

Blandly sweet gay romance 'A Nice Indian Boy' looks great but lacks buoyancy.

This crowd-pleasing romantic comedy elevates its formula with winning characters and relentless positivity.
