The rom-com is officially back, with this charming story of a doctor who brings his white boyfriend home to his Indian family.
When Naveen meets Jay, a whirlwind romance quickly leads to an engagement. But there’s an issue: Naveen has yet to introduce Jay to his family, and he isn’t quite what they were expecting.
Buoyed by Karan Soni and Jonathan Groff’s appealingly sweet performances, A Nice Indian Boy navigates cultural mores and romance with an infectiously kind heart. Putting a fresh queer and Indian spin on the tropes of the rom-com, A Nice Indian Boy is a charming, warm-hearted celebration of love and acceptance.
