Finding love is never easy. For Ravi Patel, a first generation Indian-American, the odds are slim. His ideal bride is beautiful, smart, funny, family-oriented, kind and—in keeping with tradition—Indian (though hopefully raised in the US). Oh, and her last name should be Patel because in India, Patels usually marry other Patels. And so at 30, Ravi decides to break up with his American girlfriend (the one who by all accounts is perfect for him except for her red hair and American name) and embark on a worldwide search for another Patel longing to be loved. He enlists the help of his matchmaker mother, attends a convention of Patels living in the US and travels to wedding season in India. Witty, honest and heartfelt, this comedy explores the questions with which we all struggle: What is love? What is happiness? And how in the world do we go about finding them?

watched this for a class and i’m sorry but ravi is sort of a red flag imagine dating a man for two whole years and his parents don’t even know you exist because he won’t tell them

Super interesting look into the pressure some Indian American people feel when it comes to dating and getting married! Loved the mixed media as well.

I could honestly relate to most of the things - the "when are you getting married and having children" questions and the "you should date a nice Filipino boy" comments lmao
