Outsourced and On the other end of the line

Rating: Worth Full Price for Outsourced and Matinee for Other end of the line.

Synopsis: Cultural differences cannot stand in the way of true love.

Review and Spiritual Significance: I decided to combine the review for both films because they are similar in nature - romantic dramedies about an American man falling in love with an Indian woman.  Both are light and colorful and a joy to watch.  Even though Outsourced is a better film focusing on a deeper human element while Other end of the line uses a simpler formula - I must say I really enjoyed watching both and would be happy to see them again and again.  In Outsourced I was drawn to the culture of India which was wonderfully described.  In Other end of the line I was drawn most to the female lead (played by Shriya) who exhibits a softness and beauty that is inspiring.  Other end of the line's cast is more fun and I love the actor playing her father - his sweetness and insecurity comes through.  On the Spiritual side there are issues of father-daughter relationship, pre-arranged marriage, understanding what you like that is different than previously thought, etc. 

While this is by far not the main reason, in light of the current economic climate and outsourcing to India I would suggest that people watch these movies.  They will remind you that people are people no matter where they are.
