A Nice Indian Boy

Roshan Sethi’s quietly confident film unspools a tender love story between two men—and the generations learning to accept them—with wit, nuance and no interest in cliché.

It’s pure joy watching Naveen grow and learn to experience what Jay calls “the bigness of love.”

A lovely, perfectly affecting little film.

Screenwriters Eric Randall and Madhuri Shekar give us believable characters with a believable connection,

Director Roshan Sethi delivers a big-hearted rom-com that will make you smile, sniffle, and, best of all, feel better about the world.

The film doesn't look deeply at the traditions it's variously spoofing or employing, or the psychology of its characters, but it brings plenty of color, music and Bollywood flair to getting its two lovebirds to finally sing in harmony.

Romance prevails in A Nice Indian Boy, a feel-good film with a sensitive and intelligent perspective on the complex intersections of cultural traditions, queerness, love and family.

A Nice Indian Boy is just a lovely, saccharine film. As a rom-com lover, it’s such a treat to get to watch something so effusively beautiful and just filled with love.

It's cheese of a faintly curdled kind.

This is slick, well-cast, lively, and touching at times -- but also incredibly formulaic.
