I don't think Ghai tried to show NRIs in a bad light, because such differences and difficulties are to be expected in any kind of transition from one country to another, particularly when moving from a conservative and traditionalistic society like that of India to a liberal country like USA. I did not see 'Pardes' as a social film or anything of that sort, but more as a romantic drama, and in that genre it was very well-made. Technically the film might have been better as the cinematography was not that good. The film is according to me beautifully narrated and Subhash Ghai's direction is very good. There also starts the realisation that Ganga and Arjun are actually in love. The social, cultural and economical gaps rise, and Ganga finds herself lonely in a world which is very distinct from hers, where no one except for Arjun seems to understand her. Arjun and Ganga befriend each other, but the real trouble starts when Ganga is taken to LA to live with Kishorilal's huge NRI family before marriage. Ganga's father agrees to the proposal and soon comes Arjun, Kishorilal's faithful nephew, who is also a good friend of Rajiv, to organise the engagement before Rajiv, who's never been to India, comes to see his bride. Kishorilal is immediately charmed by Ganga and wants her to marry his young son Rajiv.
Her father's best friend, Kisohrilal, who's been living in the US for over 20 years, comes to visit them. The film is about a young Indian girl named Ganga who lives in a rural village in India with her extended family. It essentially works as charming romance and nothing else. Besides that, the story is very lovely and the film is according to me believable and moving due to the performances, the music and the overall writing. The film may be quite stereotypical, it may be a bit incorrect, but should it really matter to me as long as I enjoy it? The portrayal of the US may have been amusingly flawed, but the film's issue is in my opinion dealt with quite well within the context of a Hindi film of its sort.
But she shares a deeper bond with Arjun, Kishorilal’s foster son.Whatever anyone may say about Subhash Ghai's 'Pardes', I personally found it very entertaining, engaging and charming. He gets him engaged to Ganga, his friend’s daughter, and brings her to USA. Kishorilal wants an Indian bride for his westernised son.
