Kal Penn & Tabu: The Namesake

Fire-n-Ice · August 9th, 2006, 04:29 AM

went to watch a movie today and they showed a trailer of The Namesake.

THE NAMESAKE is the story of the Ganguli family whose move from Calcutta to New York evokes a lifelong balancing act to meld to a new world without forgetting the old. Though parents Ashoke and Ashima (Irfan Khan, Tabu) long for the family and culture that enveloped them in India, they take great pride in the opportunities their sacrifices have afforded their children. Paradoxically, their son Gogol (Kal Penn) is torn between finding his own unique identity without losing his heritage. Even Gogol's name represents the family's journey into the unknown.

Agreed, but i think this is better than the usual as it doesnt exaggerate the characters.

She plays his mother in the story..so the makeup had to be done..

Jhumpa Lahiri did a great job in writing the story.. I read the book..so I dunno if I will be disappointed..but with the likes of good actors in the movie.. perhaps..

But Mira Nair..
