The Big Fat Indian Wedding

Mashup of Bend it Like Beckham and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.

Our movie, The Big Fat Indian Wedding is based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks, author of 'A Walk to Remember'. The story takes place in Edison, New Jersey, also known as The Ultimate Brown Town. Combining a romantic Korean-soap opera plot with a musical Indian Bollywood drama, our story is about two traditional Indian families, with not-so-traditional children. With a star studded cast featuring: Jess (best known in Bend it like Beckham), Harold and Kumar (back from White Castle), Director -- Ang Lee takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride in a flick that audiences have never seen since The Bitter Tea of General Yen.

Jess, a Princeton student, comes from a traditional Indian family heavily ornamented with saris and bindis. In proper Indian tradition, her parents have arranged for her a smart, Indian prospective husband, Kumar, but her confused heart pines for another man. Suffering from the Yellow Fever, Jess finds herself strangely drawn to the Harold, the adviser of the Princeton Business Society. In a scene, after a meeting just ended, the two find themselves alone and Jess realizes she cannot suppress her oriental appetite any longer. The tea brews as the two grow closer together, trying to keep it secret from her parents. Harold, on the other hand, has some secrets of his own.

In a parallel plot, the audience meets Kumar, Jess's husband-to-be. Kumar is a successful heart surgeon who graduated at the top of his class in Harvard, a typical trophy husband any Indian girl would desire. His parents push Jess on him, for her admirable knitting, cleaning, and aloo gobhi making...

...For some odd reason, he seems uninterested, and prefers dumplings over samosas, more specifically, his straight-laced Asian roommate, Harold, the very same perfect Asian Jess is courting.

Harold, caught in the middle of this passionate love web, is also at war with his own family. His father, played by Raymond Ma, notorious for his role in Ethan Mao, is a stereotypical Chinese father, intolerant of all unconventional thought. Whether it be with Jess or Kumar, Harold is committing two cardinal sins: interracial and homosexual romances. Fearful of his father's homicidal past, Harold dares not to reveal his plans to elope. As the wedding approaches, Harold's confusion as to choose Jess and please his father or pick Kumar, his true love, grows greater.

Harold's heart is torn, but the wedding must go on. Both sides frantically plan for the lavish, week long event. Even amongst the festive dances, music, feasts, and celebrations, the love secrets cannot be contained any longer. Each night, Harold pines in anguish as he watches the two people he loves the most in the world inch closer toward holy matrimony. On the night of the final wedding ceremony, Harold can no longer hide his raging emotions. In true 'wedding crashers' fashion, he stops the ceremony, revealing the love triangle. Both lovers, man and woman, gape in disbelief. What will Jess' parents think, finding out her daughter has the yellow fever? How will Kumar's parents react, realizing their son plays for the same team? But most importantly, who will Harold choose?

What results is a classic love triangle mixing traditional views and modern beliefs, racial stereotypes and sexual orientations, and curry and soy sauce.

@Rsand003 Just look at the map of the maratha empire. You will see the Mughal in dehli with a small amount of land and the marathas took like 80% of the land from them. And you can the Sikh empire a small kingdom in punjab.

[JacobTheIndoAmerican]

@Rsand003You learn history from real sources not Sikhs on the internet making shit up. If it wasn't for the Hindu Marathas there would be a damn Sikh empire at that time do you know that? The Marathas literally carved a Hindu empire out of the Islamic India.The Mughals fought a 27 year war with them and the Marathas didn't lose one major conflict in. That war bankrupted the Mughals and the Marathas took massive amounts of land from them allowing the sikhs to revolt and make their small empire.
