Kandukondein Kandukondein
I Have Found It by Rajiv Menon (Kandukondain, Kandukondain, 2000, 150 min). Featuring Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai and India's "indie" idol Tabu, this delightful adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense & Sensibility is a funny and self-referential primer on the conventions of Indian commercial cinema. Set in contemporary South India, I Have Found It wittily retells the story of two attractive sisters and their three beaus: an aspiring filmmaker educated in New York, an injured soldier, and a stock-market whiz-kid. The spectacular song sequences move from Tamil Nadu to Egypt and Scotland, and the memorable soundtrack is composed by the legendary A. R. Rahman. "[A] self-aware, cheeky romp..." (Boston Globe). "[I Have Found It] is a send-up of Bollywood filmmaking, complete with a series of surreal and extravagant song-and-dance sequences... which are hummable as hell" (Nina Maclaughlin, Boston Phoenix). In Tamil with English subtitles.
