Goofs:

Factual errors: When Anjali's son performs the Indian National Anthemn impromptu at an English school function, the crowd automatically stands to attention as a sign of respect. However English people are largely unfamiliar with the Indian National Anthemn so would not have understood it's significance.

Yashvardhan 'Yash' Raichand: Elder's anger is a part of their love... my son.

Life, love and then some....... all a lesson we should learn.

Saw it Own it. And not just because I'm a woman either. The movie is rather lengthy but well worth sending the message it sends, which is: Family is our most precious asset we can own in this world. No matter what Family is Family and you love them regardless of their choices, mistakes and what nots. This is the type of movie that should be shown to all, to wake up our society and make them realize that life and family are too precious to take for granted. I wish more people knew about this movie, it has a universal language and appeal. And while others may think its too long of a movie to watch, I say get an attention span. I wish American movies were more like this one. The musical numbers while at first seem a bit weird, are rather entertaining and joyful to watch. Excellent movie!!
