“We’re very excited to be working with Gowri and Supriya Goli on this Indian-American release,” said Eric Parkinson, C.E.O. of Hannover House. “We were introduced to the film at the recent Cannes Film Festival and immediately recognized its strong commercial value as a cross-cultural comedy. We are appreciative of the support from Carmike Cinemas and enthusiastic about the premiere launch in the greater Raleigh metro market. We feel the film has a broad audience appeal, so we are looking forward to the subsequent expansion in October and November into major cities across the U.S.A.” he continued.

When unlikely circumstances bring them together Radha (Suhasini Reballa) and Krishna (Ajay Kumar) are able to explore this blooming relationship. When a friend from Radha’s childhood, Venu (Prakash Patil), moves to town jealousy invades Krishna’s thoughts. As Krishna’s paranoia drives them further apart, the couple struggles to keep their mangled relationship afloat.

Combining the ancient Indian Scriptures with modern American 'Freedom and Equality' philosophies the couple is determined to mend the cracks in their relationship. This new age American film has the perfect twist of Bollywood cinema, leaving you wanting more and proving that “love is a dish best served hot!”
