INDIA SWEETS AND SPICES
Alia Kapur (Sophia Ali) returns to her family’s posh suburban New Jersey home after a year away at college and upends their well-ordered life with her newfound independence.
Befriending Varun (Rish Shah), the handsome son of the new owners of the local Indian grocery, she invites his family to a weekly dinner gathering with her parents’ wealthy friends.
She is shocked to learn that her perfectionist mother Sheila (Manisha Koirala) has a previous connection to Varun’s mother Bhairavi (Deepti Gupta). Alia’s surprise turns to indignation when she uncovers secrets about both her parents that push her toward a daring and transformative confrontation.
India Sweets and Spices celebrates a young woman’s coming of age set against a lovingly framed glimpse of the life of an Indian American family.

I guess the passes got lost in the mail so couldn’t make use of this offer! :)
such an eye opener. Great acting
A visually colourful treatment combined with a mixture of comical if acerbic send-up which is offset with a nod at a serious feminist message.
VERY LIMITED SCREENINGs BY THE TIME I RECEIVED PASS!
