It all begins in a modest Indian village when the determined Mrs. Bakshi sets out to find
marriage matches for her four beautiful daughters while there’s a lavish wedding party in
town. Right away, the smart and headstrong Lalita (Aishwarya Rai) announces she will
marry only for love, giving her mother nightmares. Then Lalita meets the wealthy
American Will Darcy (Martin Henderson) and sparks immediately fly. But is it love or hate?
Darcy comes off to Lalita as an arrogant California snob. Lalita looks to Darcy like a small-
town Indian beauty who knows nothing of the world. Alternately enchanted by and
suspicious of one another, Lalita and Darcy nearly fall prey to assumptions, gossip and a
comedy of errors – until pride is humbled and prejudice overcome so that love can
triumph.
