Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

Dev Patel stars as a mysterious British Muslim who journeys from London to Pakistan in order to kidnap a bride at her wedding. But it's okay - what seems like a crime (and, OK, to be fair is definitely a crime) was orchestrated by the bride’s secret lover, so that her arranged marriage could be avoided and they might be reunited.

Naturally things don’t go entirely to plan. One the “wedding guest” has done his work, the pair still has to get from Pakistan to India. Their journey is dangerous, and the potential for a blossoming attraction between the two could be their biggest problem.

I hated this movie. Wanted to leave the cinema hall, that's how boring it was.

Not the best but also not the worst.

Patel excels as a smouldering, enigmatic antihero who gradually begins to drop his defences; Apte might be even better as the duplicitous femme fatale.

The film evolves into one of those watch the hostage fall in love with her captor tales, always an icky plot development that's not any more appetizing here. There are some more twists to be had, but it's never more than marginally interesting.

Michael Winterbottom’s film succeeds in translating the problematics of intercultural conflict into thriller fodder.
