5.0 out of 5 stars Answer to Yona the Wise Oct 29 2006
By Patrick Fitzgerald
Format:DVD
Uh ... no, white Canadians are not realistically represented in this film. We are depicted as two dimensional charicatures, and quite funny charicatures, as well.

The choice of a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey jersey for Lord Krishna may be the proper colour choice. However, I don't think it's fitting or respectful to put a loser's uniform on any top deity.

I quite enjoyed the exchange between the televised Krishna and the dotty grandmother. As I understand it, a TV picture of a Hindu deity is just as real as a statue. So, this film is up there with the Simpsons and Gonisha.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masala - the movie July 28 2006
By Rajiv
Format:VHS Tape
I totally disagree with la1a1a. This movie is not about the history of Indians at all! Nor about Indians in Canada. Come on! It is not even a movie based on actual events. And as such, remains to be an entertaining and magical movie, with both fantasy and bonanza. I feel Srinivas Krishna, the producer and director, has done an excellent job with creativity, artistic ability and a wonderful cast from the top to the bottom. The colors and music were bewitching and so were some of the sets.

Well done, definitely a must see and a 5 star catagory!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous, sharp satire July 16 2004
By Veersh
Format:VHS Tape
I totally disagree with most of the reviewers here. This movie rocked. It's the funniest, sharpest, most misanthropic take on Indian-American culture I've ever seen. It's magical realist, it's got art school pretensions, it's got cheesy effects, but it's a hell of an achievement for a director who did it at age 21. I was in tears of laughter for most of the film. This is a vastly underappreciated nugget in this genre.
