A Nice Indian Boy
Movie · Comedy · Romance

Naveen Gavaskar is a self-effacing, soft-spoken doctor with a boisterous mother, Megha, a seemingly perfect sister, Arundhathi, and a quiet father, Archit. The Gavaskars are outwardly accepting of Naveen’s sexuality but have never had to confront it in practice. While worshipping at a temple, Naveen meets Jay Kurundkar, a white man adopted by two Indian parents. Naveen is slowly charmed and softened by Jay’s sincerity and confidence. They fall in love—even as Naveen avoids telling his family about Jay. One afternoon, they run into Arundhathi’s husband, Manish, and an embarrassed Naveen describes Jay as a “friend”. The encounter precipitates a discussion in which Naveen admits that he, like Jay, dreams of having a big Indian wedding. Now, Jay, who has no family of his own, must meet the Gavaskars. This causes a collision between the family, Jay—who has his own insecurities—and Naveen, caught between who he is with his family and who he is outside of it. After comic misunderstandings, frank fights, and emotional revelations, the family falls apart, questioning everything. Naveen and Jay’s hard-won love makes each of the Gavaskars face the reality of their own relationships. And through a sweetly-woven reconciliation, they come together again to plan Naveen & Jay’s own big, Indian wedding.
