Marigold

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Marigold attempts the difficult trick of combining Bollywood movies and American rom-coms -- and ends up with an awkward blend that will satisfy fans of neither.

[Willard] Carroll tries to be warm and affectionate towards Indian culture and Bollywood, but the film is riddled with clichés. Go to Full Review Namrata Joshi Outlook 01/25/2019

Larter is just about average. Salman hasn't looked worse, with a plastic smile, a faraway look and a fake, incomprehensible accent that forces one to demand subtitles. Go to Full Review Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter 09/10/2007
Bollywood fans will dismiss the mishmash as the work of an American director 'slumming' in a genre outside his own culture, and Western audiences unfamiliar with Hindi-language masala movies will find the whole thing puzzling. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf DVDTalk.com 07/29/2008

11/26/2020 While the plot was a bit contrived and adolescent I felt it was never intended to compete with the beautiful music & dance anyway. I bought the movie's soundtrack album simply for the joyous and uplifting harmony that is attendant with Indian music of this genre. The dance sequences in the movie are quite enjoyable for the same reason. See more 10/05/2014 American Rom-Com meets bollywood. Despite not expecting much from this movie, I found it quite heart warming with a good slushy ending. It put a nice smile on my face. Worth a watch. See more 01/05/2013 A fine "feel-good" movie but a bit to cliche and predictable. See more 10/31/2012 Not sure what I expected, but it wasn't bad. Not great-but enjoyable once I gave it a chance. I will take any reason to see India. :) See more 07/09/2012 Loved it - a fun introduction to the Bollywood style. See more 06/04/2012 sad to see such a low rating for this gem of a movie. personally i love it!! i found it really funny and witty... i like it so much i am getting the dvd. See more Read all reviews
