A Nice Indian Boy

Roshan Sethi’s quietly confident film unspools a tender love story between two men—and the generations learning to accept them—with wit, nuance and no interest in cliché.

It’s pure joy watching Naveen grow and learn to experience what Jay calls “the bigness of love.”

A lovely, perfectly affecting little film.

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.

A contemporary spin on convention, A Nice Indian Boy manages to keep its lightness from drifting into the insubstantial.


ANIB captures the joy of being in love without ignoring the difficult parts.

“A Nice Indian Boy” is the real spiritual heir to Ang Lee’s “The Wedding Banquet” (1993).

This is a warm, feel-good romantic comedy that begins and ends with a wedding and features Karan Soni and Jonathan Groff who have a very sweet chemistry.
