Bride & Prejudice compares couple-guided and family-arranged marriages
Bride & Prejudice acquaints audiences with relocations of Hampsire-born English author Jane Austen’s (December 16, 1775 – July 18, 1817) novel Pride and Prejudice to twenty-first century venues in:
• Amritsar, India;
• London, England;
• Los Angeles, California.
The romantically comic adaptation brings together the initially interpersonally, psychologically, and socio-economically mismatched pair of:
• Lalita Bakshi (Aishwarya Rai), a second-eldest daughter proud of her family’s cultural integrity and prejudiced against the ruthlessness of big-city lifestyles and money-driven decision-making;
• William Darcy (Martin Henderson), an American businessman proud of his entrepreneurial successes and prejudiced against the inefficiencies of non-Westernized countries and tradition-guided cultures.
Bride & Prejudice thereby communicates the same timelessly deep truths as the original by remaining timely but true to characters and plot.

Comments
For those asking about personal names in Bride and Prejudice, the names Elizabeth and Lalita articulate perhaps an astute answer to the first-name adaptations.
The name Elizabeth comes from Hebrew אֱלִישֶׁבַע conveyed into the English meaning "My God is an oath" even as the name Lalita communicates the beauty and the grace characterized by the goddess Lalita (Sanskrit ललिता).
Isn't it interesting that the original and the occasioned names itinerate from spiritual identities?
For those asking about Amritsar as the action area, director Gurinder Chadha admired the Punjabi ambience and the feminine approach to advancing socio-economically.
Director Chadha considered Amritsar girls as confronting modern challenges even as they conserve cultural heritages.
The above-featured director felt that such fits with the best configurations of inherited and modern cultures figured in Pride and Prejudice.
The above-indicated information especially identifies Aishwarya Rai interpreting, as Lalita, Elizabeth Bennett, correct?
For those inquiring about non-English language-adapted films of Pride and Prejudice, there is an iteration albeit 86 years old.
The afore-mentioned makeover manifests as Orgullo y prejuicio ("Pride and prejudice" literally from Spanish to English.
By whom and when might the film have been made?
Seventy-six (!) years ago, in 1940, by director José María Forero!
The computer crashed afore I conveyed another component to my comment below.
My comment below and my wizzley above defer to the afore-designated performers as doing dazzlingly in their roles.
There is an actor who inspires what Marisa Abela, Eiza Gonzalez and Saleka Shyamalan invoke.
Who is he?
Dev Patel!
All the actors, all the actresses acted impressively even as one always asks about remakes, sequels, series.
The afore-considered performers count high on any of the above-considered audio-visuals even as three actresses could convey the same craftsmanship in any remake, sequel, series to Bride and Prejudice, to Pride and Prejudice, to any audio-visualization of Austen works.
Who is that trio?
It includes Marisa Abela, Eiza Gonzalez and Saleka Shyamalan!
Jane Austen apprised us nothing more about her characters in Pride and Prejudice even as each one assumes sequel status.
Could the directorial and producerly teams consider a sequel to Bride & Prejudice?
Mira, Bride & Prejudice is a rivetingly enjoyable film from beginning to end, with all of the actors and actresses committed to making "Pride and Prejudice" understandable in a mesmerizingly modern context.
I can't tell you how many times I take my copy out to watch it since, as you suggest, it appeals to audiences far beyond the subcontinent.
I hope the Bollywood movie-showings go through!
It sounds like a great idea, as it easily conveys the central messages of Pride and Prejudice while adapting them for an Indian audience. Moreover, it looks like this movie would appeal to a larger audience as well. Cinemas here planned to start showing Bollywood movies, by the way. I read an article about it. Nothing happened so far, but who knows.
