The
much awaited NRI feature film FLAVORS is opening amidst a lot
of buzz in theatres in USA and Canada on Friday, July 16. The

Synopsis:
A
persistent cell phone ring connects four crisscrossing stories
of Indian Americans in this light-hearted movie set in the post
Information Technology boom: two long-distance buddies who share
every waking thought; two parents who delight in arguing with
each other and are getting to know their future daughter-in-law
Jenni, and their son who is juggling all of them; jobless roommates
who can't fathom their friend's obsession for a girl back in
India; and a newlywed, forced-to-stay-at-home girl who creates
a fascinating world for herself within her home. Everything
is connected in this warm, quirky comedy that says the world
is really, really small.
