Mistress of Spices

If you are in the mood for a good old fashioned romantic tragedy, this might be a good choice. It is heavy on the mystical with a solid dose of forbidden love. If however you are looking for a cross-cultural romantic comedy, this is NOT it. For that you should see The Other End Of The Line.

Aishwarya Rai is intoxicating to watch on screen, but I never quite bought the heat between her and Dylan McDermott. He comes across as almost bored and awkward in this role. Perhaps her was directed that way?

If you are fan of Indian cinema you will see several familiar faces, and I have to admit I enjoy watching them work.

Watch this movie with someone who knows a little bit about holistic health care.
