This story of a guy looking for love in many of the wrong places turns out to be one of the happiest surprises of the movie year.
Funny and fascinating documentary that pulls off an amazing trick: Everyone will be able to relate to Patel’s struggle, despite the specifics of his case as a 21st-century Indian-American.

Ravi is an affable guide through the world of Indian dating, and Champa and Vasant are adorable and hilarious.
In this picaresque documentary, the lightly comic musings of a likeable, somewhat nerdy Indian-American actor go surprisingly deep.
Meet the Patels is a good-natured documentary that plays like a romantic comedy.
Meet the Patels is a tidy, easygoing documentary in which peripheral players prove more intriguing than its central focus.
Just because it's how they did things in the old country doesn't excuse clinging to these outdated, oppressive traditions, even if Ravi manages to negotiate them with surprising good humor.
