The lawyer will never forget the pain and indignity he suffered. Nearly 20 years later the family has settled in Mississippi and the lawyer's adult daughter Mina (Sarita Choudhury) falls in love with a young black business entrepreneur Demetrius (Denzel Washington). Their affair causes a rift in the community and forces the lovers' families to examine their ideas about racial and class differences while avoiding scandal.System Requirements:Running Time: 118 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 043396010222 Manufacturer No: 01022 Amazon.com: Mira Nair, the Indian director, scored an international art-house hit with her feature debut, Salaam Bombay!, a tale of life in the streets of seething urban India. Her next film was a surprising turnabout: Mississippi Masala is a cultural study and a love story set in the rural American south. The love story comes courtesy of Denzel Washington, as a rug cleaner, and Sarita Choudhury (from Nair's Kama Sutra), as the daughter of Indian immigrants running a small-time motel; both give fresh, charming performances. But Nair is equally interested in capturing the feelings of an exile's life, and Roshan Seth, the fine actor who played Nehru in Gandhi, superbly catches the hope and sorrow of dislocation. Although the issues are serious, Nair maintains a breezy, naturalistic approach, and the various ingredients of this masala blend into a rich, flavorful stew. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - loveI could not forget this story. It brought tears and alot of deep thinking and soul searching. Thankyou to whomever had this love in their sould to express it in a most beautiful movie. Rating: - Hot Indian spicesI ordered the film for the purpose of completing a graduate class requirement. I was very pleased that Amazon had it in stock, and ordered it the same day I learned of my assignment. I was uncertain as to what condition the film would be in, since the price was so affordable - $5.99-but was pleased to discover that it was in mint condition. Amazon will be the site I turn to for all of my course needs. Thanks Amazon. Rating: - Wow - the things that divide us as humans!Wonderful story-line beautifully acted out by the two main characters Denzel Washington's Demetrius and Sarita Chodury's Mina. Prejudice has no color. Rating:  - one of great racial films everThis is a master piece which touches delicate subject of racism. This time between South asian Indian girl ( played by sexy saritha ) and black guy (played by charming Denzel). The movie gives glimpse of lesser know Indian culture for Americans. How some Indians although almost as dark as africans still stick to racist thinking. It shows being victim of racism doesn't insulate one to treat others the same way. However the movie is balanced and doesn't exploit the situation. Denzel is really charming ...

The producers, female actors, and director of "Something New" were so arrogant promting the movie like their movie was going to change the paradigm of IR amongst Black Women. Well 15 years ago I saw and happen to own the best American and most realistic movie on the subject of mixed relationships that explores ... Read More |
