The new film, “A Nice Indian Boy” delivers a narrative about acceptance and love that’s told through the unique lens of a mixed-race, same-sex relationship.
“A Nice Indian Boy” follows the life of a shy, timid doctor, Naveen Gavaskar (Karan Soni), who meets a white freelance photographer named Jay Kurundkar (Jonathan Groff), whose Indian parents adopted him in the U.S. and introduced him to their culture.
As the film progresses, emotions run high and a series of comical misunderstandings and emotional revelations threaten to tear Naveen’s family apart. The movie was released in theaters last Friday.
Actor Karan Soni told NBC Asian America that the film harkens back to 2002’s “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” but is told from a completely different point of view, including who the characters are and what they look like.
“It’s a complete revamp of it, just because of the point of view from which the story is being told,” Soni said.
