A Quietly Heartfelt Story with Charm and Warmth

A Nice Indian Boy surprised me with how genuinely heartfelt and grounded it felt. The film doesn't try too hard-it just lets its characters breathe, and in doing so, it creates something tender and relatable.The story strikes a delicate balance between cultural tradition and personal identity without feeling heavy-handed. What really stood out was the sincerity of the performances-there's warmth, humor, and real emotional depth, especially in the quieter moments.It's a film about love, yes, but also about family, expectations, and the messy, beautiful process of learning how to be true to yourself. I appreciated that it didn't wrap everything up too neatly, yet still left me with a sense of hope.Not every beat is perfect, and some scenes could've been tighter or more dynamic-but overall, it's a story that stays with you in a gentle, meaningful way.Bottom line: Thoughtful, well-acted, and quietly moving. Definitely worth watching.

I'm extremely annoyed by how lovable I find Jonathan Groff

"You know how things always get super weird whenever anything gay comes up? Well, I just thought I'd put everyone at ease by mentioning my white, Hindu, orphan, artist boyfriend. Mom? Dad? Do you want another son... who's white?"I smiled from ear to ear from beginning to end. Well, with the exception of a few moments that I won't spoil here. It's nice to be reminded to watch films like this more often - films that are simply meant to make you feel good. There are no villains in this story, only the most lovely people you ever knew, who only mean well.I adored everything from the ridiculously charming cast to the Bollywood soundtrack to the overly-sweet in-your-face message... because it was delivered with so much heart and care. I love how it pretty quickly morphed into something other else than a love story between two people but between a group of people. Rom-coms, I never spoke badly of you and if I did, I did not mean it.Oh, and it's funny.Oh, and it also has Sunita Mani, which is a nice bonus.

A nice romantic comedy.

'A Nice Indian Boy (2024)' is a pretty standard romantic comedy, except it's about an Indian man who struggles to introduce his white boyfriend to his liberal but still uncertain family. As such, its status as 'standard rom-com' is actually really refreshing and important, as it scratches the same itch as traditionally straight and white rom-coms do but it does it for an audience who often have to leave that itch unscratched. There's a trend for movies based around, made by and aimed at minorities to be held to a higher standard than their (sadly) more common counterparts, a demand for excellence that acts as an unnecessary barrier to entry to the wider cinematic canon. It's refreshing when a movie can be functionally the same as its less diverse counterparts because it feels like it's pulling us closer to a kind of equality that allows audiences of all kinds to experience the same sorts of films. None of that is to imply that the picture is, by any means, bad or even especially mediocre. It may be pretty generic, but it's still a really solid version of itself. Although it has a couple of noticeable pacing issues and doesn't really convey a great deal of chemistry between its central couple (or, perhaps more accurately, doesn't convincingly transition them from strangers to soulmates, meaning they still feel as though they barely know each other even when they're making sweeping and sincere declarations of love later in the story), it's sweet and amusing and generally fairly charming. Its cast all do a great job with the material, slipping into their stereotypical yet relatively honest roles with ease. Even if the central conflict often feels either too mild or too artificial to truly bring you to the edge of your seat, the affair is consistently engaging and enjoyable. It features a handful of clear highlights, frequently makes you smile and is as likely to warm your heart as it is tickle your ribs. It's a nice, wholesome experience that's as predictable as it is effective. It doesn't quite grip me in the same way as the best of its peers, but it's certainly entertaining enough for what it is. It's a solid effort.
