    kitsch to be actual kitsch. But to confuse Gurinder Chadha’s delicious‚ walloping and wacky adaptation of Jane Austen as a take on the Bollywood formula is to‚ quite simply‚ confuse the wood for the trees. Jane Austen meets Manoj Kumar in "Bride & Prejudice". And they are finally moulded into a vision that’s entirely and incontrovertibly Chadha’s. In her projection of the classic and the kitsch in the same range of vision‚ Beckham begum has achieved what no other filmmaker from any part of the world
