Synopsis
Jimi Mistry (THE GURU, EAST IS EAST) stars in this charming and surprisingly poignant romantic comedy, which is driven by the humour that infuses the multifaceted cultural divide between the young and old, Indian and Western, gay and straight--not to mention real and imaginary, alive and dead--characters. Alim is a young South Indian movie photographer living in London after relocating there from Canada. He lives with his boyfriend Giles (Kristen Holden-Reid), as well as the ghost of Cary Grant (Kyle MacLachlan), whom only Alim can see. Pursuing the ideal world presented in the films of Grant-era Hollywood, Alim seeks and then follows the advice of the ghost. This works out pretty well until his mother Nuru decides to come for a visit. She is a conservative Indian mother who is concerned at Alim's bachelorhood, especially in light of her nephew's impending wedding and the friendly sibling rivalry she shares with his mother. Madcap confusion ensues as Alim tries to keep Giles' true identity and his own, from being discovered by his mother, all the while trying to maintain composure in the style of his mentor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rom-com with a twist, 22 Feb 2008
By P. Ride (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I saw Touch of Pink at the Sundance film festival and again at London's Gay and Lesbian film festival and both times it kept the audiences happy and rolling with laughter at the one-liners.

I think it pulls it off as film that is charming and witty but one which is also very moving. While it plays like an old fashioned, feel-good Hollywood rom-com with a gay, Asian twist, the film also has a more serious side in dealing with internalised homophobia and racism. But it never comes across as heavy handed - it plays out its politics through humour. Suleka Matthew is beautiful and touching as the mother, and she shows that she's a very gifted comedian. Kyle MacLachlan is inspired his performance as Cary Grant, getting the vocal intonations and the mannerisms just right.

A must-see for fans of old Cary Grant movies - who will pick up all the reference to his film. Also for people interested in post-colonial cinema. Make a big bowl of popcorn, curl up on the sofa and enjoy watching it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A feel-good film for gays, 17 Dec 2008
By Gay Londoner (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This film makes one "glad to be gay". It is a delightful little film - a romantic feel-good film for gays. Sure, it may not explore in much depth the human condition, but if I want to come out of the cinema depressed, there are plenty of straight films I can watch. Besides, why should only straight love affairs have happy endings?

1.0 out of 5 stars Car crash of a movie!!, 9 Feb 2008
One of the worst films I have ever seen. The acting was across the board beyond awful, and what on earth Kyle MacLachlan was thinking when he signed on for this I will never know. Its stereotyped, badly written and acted and I can't think of one redeeming feature. As for the acting, special mention has to go to the woman playing the lead characters mother (Suleka Mathew). My goldfish could act her off the screen!

Just awful....Avoid!!!
