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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })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. | |

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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
| Bride and Prejudice / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: Charlotte Lucas in the book is described as plain, and she accepts Mr Collins's proposal because she's unlikely to get another. Her counterpart here Chandra is just as gorgeous as Lalita, though depicted as more of a Shrinking Violet. | |

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. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Bride and Prejudice / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
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. | |
