Plot: IN THEATRES: APRIL 5, 2002 (LA/NY)

An Indian-American college kid, Sureel (Aalok Mehta), is pressured by his parents to be a doctor, though he dreams of becoming a musician. He has obvious musical talent. He sings, composes, and plays many instruments, but he hides his passion from his family because he's afraid they won't accept him. When his band kicks him out for always showing up late, and his girlfriend dumps him, Sureel has to reevaluate his priorities. He meets a beautiful Indian-American dancer, Maya (Sheetal Sheth), who's proud of her Indian heritage. Through her dance, she shows him that her dance style has a unique creative flair that fuses both Indian and American cultural dance traditions to wonderful and beautiful effect. As Sureel becomes more in touch with his identity and prepares to enter the adult world, he realizes that he must stand up for his interests and follow his dreams, no matter what the cost.

Paresh Rawal, who plays Sureel's father, is a famous actor in the cinema of Bombay, India (known as Bollywood) and the scenes between him and Sureel are some of the best in the film. For his debut feature, Anurag Mehta directs his brother Aalok Mehta, who also wrote some of the music.
