A SUITABLE BOY is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding). Set in vibrant 1950s India, this witty story of romance follows Lata, a spirited 19-year-old university student whose life seems to be already mapped out by stuffy old traditions, and an overbearing mother who wants to find her a suitable husband. But, inspired by rebellious writers and daring new ideas, Lata is determined to decide her own future. Its 1951. This newly independent India is approaching its first democratic general election, boldly breaking free of its past. Latas world is bursting with life and possibility. Full of sparkling humour, A SUITABLE BOY is adapted from Vikram Seths modern classic by BAFTA and Emmy-winning writer Andrew Davies.
