NEW Chutney Popcorn (DVD)

Amazon.com

Chutney Popcorn takes up where quirky lesbian-themed comedy Go Fish left off. The twist? Reena (director Nisha Ganatra) is of Indian descent, but her girlfriend, Lisa (Law & Order's Jill Hennessy), is not. This isn't a problem in and of itself. Reena's mother, however, views her daughter's sexual orientation as a "disability" and describes Lisa as Reena's "college roommate." Then there's Reena's uptight sister, Sarita, who discovers she can't conceive and draws even further away from her sibling. When Reena offers to be a surrogate, things just get worse. Lisa flees for fear that a baby will ruin her relationship with Reena, while Sarita changes her mind--but it's too late: Reena is pregnant (via artificial insemination). There's a happy ending, of course, but fortunately it isn't too happy--you get the sense that Sarita still has a way to go before she can accept herself as fully as her unconventional, artistic sister. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

The movie was realistic with touches of humor, seriousness, warmth, pain and all the things of life that make us human. It stands out as a movie with good acting and characters who were brought to life believably and meaningfully through each individual. The mom was funny at times to me and of course the main character. I believe with more work, this director will produce beautiful pieces that will rock the lesbian and LGBTI world and make us all even prouder. I genuinely loved this film!

Look beyond the messaging and agendas. Look for the love and you will find a very good movie.

Try to see the love in this movie, not the jealousy, the strict adherence to tradition, the issue of sexual preference, self righteous pronouncements of sexual preference. Look for the love.
From the negative reviews I have read, I think most of the viewers or would be viewers really dont want to know or accept the depth of it. Many have decided before really watching it, trying absorb it, tryin to understand the incredible complexity in this story, what their opinion is. I admit I almost turned it off after the first 40 mins. But, stay with it. This is an incredibly complex story of people being driven by tradition and religion, traditional roles and values, and of those who have rejected such values getting pulled back into them, and learning about the hope and stability that traditional values and cultural traditions provide. It is extremely complex, and it cannot and does not answer all questions about such a complicated crossroads. Perhaps it answers few, if any. But it does show the overarching value of love that humans express to one another, and especially to the willingness to adapt to give love to children. watch it. stay with it. i did not give 5 stars because I thought the acting, dialogue, and scenery in the wonderful setting of Manhattan could have been done better. But I highly recommend it, and certainly give it 4 stars.

The Director of this film (Nisha Ganatra) is a star in the film as well. She is very talented and I found myself looking for more of her work after seeing this film. The story is about a Lesbian who has a family that is traditionally Indian and the issues that come up when her sister is unable to have a child. There are also some good scenes between her and her girlfriend.
It is simply charming. I love the opening where you watch her doing traditional henna tattoos and I love and will never forget the scene (not much of a spoiler here) where she is sitting on a park bench with her mother and she suggests ( to her traditional Indian mother) that her grandmother could have been a lesbian. Sweet!

Bought this umbrella May 2016 and it was seldom left in open position. T Just tried to use it in tilted position for the first time and now it will not stay in place in straight up open position. I had a very difficult time holding it in place to close and tie straight up. Now I won't even take a chance to reopen for photo for this post for fear I will not be able to reclose..

Cute lesbian dramedy

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2013

I had been wanting to see this film since I saw the previews but like most low-key lesbian films you can never find them. When I saw it on my kindle as a recommended movie for me I was excited. It was hilarious for the first half hour or so but then it kinda loses steam and my interest. I'm glad I saw it but wish I hadn't spent 3.99 on it.

Nisha Ganatra Rules!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2003

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent film, I first saw this movie back in June 2001, I don't know how many times I have watched it since, but from the very first time I saw Nisha I thought-Wow what a beautiful woman! The movie was and is outstanding. The other Actresses and Actors were good, too. The storyline was something positive to think about. Reminded me of my younger days, bringing out many emotions, in other words it touched me like hardly any movie has. Nisha is magic. Am looking forward to many more of her creations. This woman has it going on. I am very happy to have gotten the chance to see this movie, then own it, on VHS and DVD.

Good movie

no disappointed plot twists for the sapphic community so that is good. I liked seeing lesbianism from an Indian cultural background meeting the world of (white) American culture.

Wonderful movie

Wonderful story. This is how the world rids itself of traditional Hetero babies. But having a Baby Is a Wonderful thing. the world needs to open up. LGBT can raise a child that is heterosexual. I love this isea. The blessing that a child gives is what anyone would want in their lives.

Ganz nett!

Reviewed in Germany on April 3, 2022

Es handelt sich hier um einen "alten" Film (1999). Eine nette, seichte Komödie. Vor allem interessant wegen Jill Hennessy, die später in "Crossing Jordan" einem breiteren Publikum bekannt gemacht wurde.
