A
suddenly single bachelor, an oddly attractive neighbor and a popular women's
magazine are the ingredients of this delicious romance that pays homage to
classic Bollywood cinema while spinning a modern love story that is uniquely
its own. From the director of "Chutney
Popcorn" and the writer of "Monsoon
Wedding," and starring Genie award-winner Roshan Seth and Academy Award
nominee Carol Kane, "Cosmopolitan" mixes the bittersweet comedy of real life
with the intoxicating magic of rediscovered love. It is based on a short story
by Akhil Sharma and will premier on PBS in June on the series Indepedent
Lens.
