'A Nice Indian Boy' review: East-meets-West with a twist in an instant rom-com classic

Summary

Nutrition label

73% Informative

Roshan Sethi's A Nice Indian Boy is an incisive expression of family and culture that neither apologizes nor over-explains itself.

The film follows a gay Indian American doctor whose parents are nominally accepting, but who want him to find "a nice Indian boy" Jonathan Groff plays a white man raised by Indian parents.

The film, written by Eric Randall , is based on the play by Madhuri Shekar .

It's incredibly funny and incredibly sweet, but none of these superficial gestures — no matter how well-meaning — are a substitute for the real emotional work the Gavaskar family needs.

A Nice Indian Boy was reviewed out of its World Premiere at SXSW 2024 on March 23, 2024 .

In a just world, it would find instant distribution and be hailed alongside Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding as a realistic family portrait whose jagged edges aren't just riveting, but revelatory.
