When Bollywood meets Hollywood
When Bollywood meets Hollywood
There’s bound to be some sparks
And for this take on Jane Austen
I give almost full marks
The story line is much the same
Except a little shorter
The noisy Bakshi family
Is short a Bennet daughter
Henderson’s no Colin Firth
He’s just a little bland
They could have found a better bloke
To take Lalita’s hand
The Bingley siblings caught my eye
I’ve seen them both before
He was her Kama Sutra guy
And now he’s “Lost” no more
The ending’s changed up quite a bit
This version’s changed the terms
Singing, dancing, Indian style
And riding pachyderms
A lively, funny musical
Though not for everyone
It’s almost Pride and Prejudice
But a hundred times more fun
