Show Notes

Like Bollywood, this episode is a lot! Even if you’re an Austen fan or have seen this excellent 2004 Gurinder Chadha musical adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, you’re sure to learn at least one new fact about the movie, Indian culture, or one of the fascinating members of this cast and crew, which includes the first woman choreographer in Bollywood, actors from “Lost” and “Game of Thrones” and Chadha’s own husband! From discussing the film’s exploration of colonialism to bopping along to their favorite musical numbers, Sophia and Jen will guide you through another great addition in Every Rom Com’s literary modernization series!

The Tamil language “Sense and Sensibility” adaptation starring Aishwarya Rai mentioned in the podcast is “Kandukondain Kandukondain”, or “I Have Found It”, and is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. Strangely, I could find it by searching using Roku on the TV, but not on Amazon's website.
