Nina's Heavenly Delights | comment |
Nina’s Heavenly Delights is a 2006 Rom Com about a cooking contest, directed by Pratibha Parmar. The title character just happens to be gay and, like most of the rest of the cast, a Scot of Indian ancestry. Bollywood elements ensue.The death of her father Mohan brings prodigal daughter Nina (Shelley Conn) home again to her mother, siblings - and the family restaurant, "The Taj". Being able to keep the latter now hinges on the cooking skills Nina learned at her father‘s knees. In the "Best of The West Curry Competition" she will have to face the former fiancé she left at the altar, Sanjay. Her new partner brings just as much potential for trouble: girl next door Lisa (Laura Fraser) owns half of the restaurant after Mohan bet it away. And she already seems to be very much a part of the family. | |

Arranged Marriage: What prompted Nina to run away in the backstory. Her parents were trying to set her up with Sanjay. Also, their own marriage seems to have been an arranged one, as Suman would have preferred Raj. | |

Nina's Heavenly Delights / int_aa6043ca | comment |
Open-Minded Parent: Nina and Kary's mother Suman proves herself to be one. Kary married a white woman and has kept it secret. Nina has been in the closet about being a lesbian (she had fallen for Lisa, who's also white). Suman is just happy that her children have found love after she learns about this, despite them fearing that she'd react badly. | |

Shout-Out: While Nina is getting closer to Lisa, her Mom is watching the Indian classic Mughal-e-Azam in the next room. Bobbi‘s car horn plays a melody from Film/Qurbani - a movie mostly remembered for its gay (male) subtext. | |
