Like her previous films VANITY FAIR, MONSOON WEDDING, and HBO’s HYSTERICAL BLINDNESS, Mira Nair’s THE NAMESAKE is a lush, beautiful film bursting with rich color and visual texture.

The son of Indian immigrants, Gogol (Kal Penn) wants to be a thoroughly modern American man, but he finds that his wishes are at odds with the traditional life his parents (Irfan Khan, Tabu) wish he would live.
