US Release??
Is this movie going to be released in the US?
shareMaybe ... there is a prerelease showing this week
shareDon't think so. The film cost $10 million and absolutely bombed at the UK box office. It was shown at Sundance 2010 but no US distributors wanted to buy the rights until they could get a sense of how how well it would perform at home. There's now doubt about how well the humor will translate Stateside considering that it failed to entice its home-grown Indian-Asian audience. We live in a post "Slumdog Millionaire" world and I don't think Gurinder Chadha has the directing chops nor the storytelling ability to compete with her brand of formulaic ethnic comedies. Her last few films have very much died on arrival, especially in the USA.
