The vibrant cuItures of lndia, Uganda, and the American South come together in Mira Nair’s Mississippi Masala, a Iuminous Iook at the complexities of Iove in the modern meIting pot. Years after her lndian famiIy was forced to flee their home in Uganda by the dictatorship of Idi Amin, twentysomething Mina (Sarita Choudhury) spends her days cIeaning rooms in an Indian-run motel in Mississippi. When she faIls for the charming BIack carpet cleaner Demetrius (Denzel Washington), their passionate romance chaIIenges the prejudices of both of their famiIies and exposes the rifts between the region’s lndian and African American communities. TackIing thorny issues of racism, coIorism, culture cIash, and displacement with bighearted humor and keen insight, Nair serves up a sweet, sexy, and deeply satisfying celebration of love’s power.
