What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

Have you ever imagined what you might get if you crossed Jane Austen's England with the colour, music and energy of India? This modern Bollywood-style updating of Pride & Prejudice does just that - retelling the story of a mother's hilarious attempts to marry off her five spirited and slightly stubborn daughters. Starring the highly acclaimed Indian actress Aishwarya Rai, the film combines the drama and intrigue of the daughters' blossoming romances with lavish musical numbers, putting a hugely enjoyable spin on a classic British love story.
