Mississippi Masala

Passion. Tradition. Prejudice. Put it together, and you've got the recipe for a sexy irreverent romance. Starring Academy Award(r)-winner (Best Actor in a Leading Role - Training Day, 2002 and Best Actor in a Supporting Role - Glory, 1990) Denzel Washington as Demetrius, a Southern businessman who falls in love with an Indian immigrant, MISSISSIPPI MASALA is an exotic and erotic interracial love story. Sarita Choudhury co-stars as Mina, whose Indian family was expelled from Uganda under the reignof dictator Idi Amin. Like the colorful Indian dish "masala," Mina is a hot, spicy mix of cultures.But when she and Demetrius fall in love, nothing in her past prepares them for the family outrage they face. A funny, fascinating glimpse into two tightly-knit communities, and a moving story that crosses the color barrier, Mississippi Masala is "wonderfully tender wryly funny... vibrantly sexy."
