Oh boy, where do I even begin with this one? Pardes was quite the rollercoaster ride, to say the least. First off, I have to give it props for being a pioneer in the cross-cultural love story genre. But, let's be real here, it's also got some pretty cringe-worthy moments.

Let's start with the acting. Shahrukh Khan, as usual, was his charming self, but the rest of the cast was hit or miss. Mahima Chaudhry had her moments, but also some seriously wooden scenes. The supporting actors were a mixed bag as well, with some hitting the mark and others falling flat.

The storyline, on the other hand, was a whole other level of bonkers. It's like the writers threw everything and the kitchen sink into this movie. There's cross-cultural romance, family drama, political commentary, and even a kidnapping subplot. It's a wild ride, but not always in a good way.

And let's not forget about the music. The songs are catchy, but they can also be quite cheesy. "I Love My India" is a prime example of this. It's so over-the-top patriotic that it's hard not to roll your eyes.

I think Pardes is a bit of a mixed bag. It has its moments of brilliance, but it's also got some cringey moments that haven't aged well.

Thoughts on this movie??

Pardes is highly biased against cultures other than what is perceived as Indian culture.

Shahrukh Khan is shown as a good character and the other guy is shown as a bad character and western culture is shown as the reason behind his negative traits.
