| Bride and Prejudice | comment |
Quick-witted Lalita Bakshi is the second daughter in a family living in Amritsar, India. Her father dotes on her but her mother is determined to marry Lalita and her three sisters (Jaya, Maya, and Lakhi) off to respectable wealthy men. Her mother's fortune seems to look up, however, when the handsome and wealthy lawyer Balraj comes to town on the eve of a big wedding, his conceited sister Kiran and businessman best friend Will Darcy in tow. Jaya and Balraj seem perfect for each other, but Lalita finds Darcy arrogant and intolerant of Indian culture.Sound familiar?Bride and Prejudice is a 2004 film directed by Gurinder Chadha (who also directed Bend It Like Beckham), which gives Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice a Setting Update — to modern-day India. Events roughly parallel that of the novel, but punctuated with discussions of culture and gender, as well as several Bollywood dance numbers. The film stars Aishwarya Rai (Elizabeth/Lalita) and Martin Henderson (Darcy), as well as a host of other familiar faces. | |

Canon Foreigner: A new character features in the early part of the movie to be a best friend to Lalita and Chandra. She's only credited as 'Bride', as it's her wedding they are attending where they meet Darcy, making her a Small Role, Big Impact. | |

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Mrs Bakshi publicly talking about Knoli and Lalita, and Balraj and Jaya as if they're already engaged when all barely know each other - thoroughly embarrassing everyone. Darcy's mother Catherine is no different, ignorantly talking about how she has no reason to visit India now that parts of Indian culture are now in America - said in front of a whole family of Indians. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Bride and Prejudice / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Mr Kholi is still pompous and foolish, but he's also kind and grows to adore Chandra. The director specifically stated on the DVD commentary that she didn't want to depict the pair of them in a loveless marriage. Mrs Bakshi is softened compared to Mrs Bennett. She's shown to be pompous but still good-natured - with a Pet the Dog moment here and there. Kiran is also much nicer than her literary counterpart. In contrast to Caroline's snobbish attitude at the party, Kiran is shown sincerely enjoying herself. She also tries to warn Lalita off pursuing Wickham, and seems genuinely happy at the ending wedding. Lahki is presented much more sympathetically than Lydia, the movie fully acknowledging that she's a teenage girl who's being taken advantage of by a predatory older man. | |

Marriage Before Romance: Mrs Bahkshi speaks in favour of this trope, citing it as a reason that Lalita should have married Knoli. It's ultimately played straight for the latter and Chandra - which the director stated was because she didn't want Chandra to be trapped in a loveless marriage. | |

Adaptational Jerkass: In the book Darcy is merely a little aloof at the party, and Lizzie is offended when she overhears him talking about her. Here he's shown to be very ignorant and says some rude things about Lalita's culture to her face. It's also implied that straight up racism has a part in his Relationship Sabotage. He does however make up for it later by letting Mrs Bakshi have his seat in first class on the flight. | |

"Ugly American" Stereotype | |
| Bride and Prejudice / int_b32d9d96 | comment |
"Ugly American" Stereotype: Darcy and his mother are shown to be rather ignorant towards Indian culture, with Lalita chewing him out for expecting "five star comfort with a bit of culture thrown in". | |

Relationship Sabotage | |
| Bride and Prejudice / int_bbdafd63 | comment |
Relationship Sabotage: Darcy does this as per the book, though considering just how much more embarrassing Mrs Bakshi is, it's a lot easier to see coming. | |

The Theme Park Version | |
| Bride and Prejudice / int_be8f3491 | comment |
The Theme Park Version: Lalita chews Darcy out for thinking of India in this way, saying he just wants "five star comfort with a bit of culture thrown in". It's shown that his mother has even worse ideas, declaring she has no reason to visit India since there is now so many aspects of their culture in America. | |

| Bride and Prejudice / int_cb57df2 | comment |
Fate Drives Us Together: Despite Darcy being based in America and Lalita in India, both are reunited in London through coincidence. And they're both guests at Chandra's wedding, despite Darcy barely knowing Knoli. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Bride and Prejudice / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: Everyone. The majority of the cast is given Indian names similar to the original — for example, Elizabeth is Lalita, Jane is Jaya, Caroline is Kiran, Mr. Collins is Mr. Kholi, Charlotte is Chandra, and so on. The exceptions are Fitzwilliam Darcy, who's renamed to Will Darcy; and George Wickham, who's dubbed Johnny Wickham. Considering that Darcy's sister is nicknamed "Georgie," the latter change might also be observing the One-Steve Limit. | |

Last-Name Basis | |
| Bride and Prejudice / int_e28f88b8 | comment |
Last-Name Basis: Used as a measuring stick for how Lalita feels about someone. She refers to Darcy by his last name until the third act when she's warmed to him. Conversely she calls Wickham by his first name until he stops returning her messages. | |

Composite Character | |
| Bride and Prejudice / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: The younger sisters Maya and Lakhi replace the three younger sisters of the original. Kiran Balraj here stands in for both of Bingley's sisters from the original. Georgie here takes on Fitzwilliam's role of talking about Darcy's Relationship Sabotage. Elizabeth isn't there in the book when Darcy finds Lydia and gets her and Wickham to marry. Here, Lalita and Darcy find them together. | |

Britain Is Only London | |
| Bride and Prejudice / int_ea44cd34 | comment |
Britain Is Only London: A justified example. Kiran and Balraj live in London but they're pretty rich and their business commitments would require them to live there. And the Bakshis travel there because they're getting a connecting flight. It is played straight if you go meta however; the UK Film Council would only give funding if some filming happened in England, so of course they set the England scenes in London. | |
