It promises to be one of the most exciting and refreshing independent films made in the US.

Flavors is fun and truly funny. An ambitious film that works! ...I am ready to see it again.

The flow of this well-crafted film is emphasized by a uniquely crafted score and fantastic editing.
- Official Release, ReelWorld International Film Festival, Toronto, March 2003
...it wasn't just laughter, it was laughter with love.
- Eric Byler (Writer/Director, 2003 Independent Spirit Award nominee Charlotte Sometimes)
...the most grin-, guffaw-, chuckle-, and howl-inducing film I have seen in a very long time.
- Srinath Sampath (Actor, Green Card Fever)
Your concept of characters and events coming together and showing how their lives were somehow connected was really great.
- Nadia Junaid

| VIEWER Feedback (From ReelWorld International Film Festival, Toronto) |

‘Much better than any of the NRI Films I have seen so far.’
‘Although it is a movie about Indian characters, the subject and story-line are very universal.’
‘It is not the typical Desi, stereo-typed characters, cultural differences, I-have-made-a-film-too, kind of stuff that we have been seeing over the last few years. I think this movie successfully crosses the chasm.’
‘I was blown away by the screenplay. There is a surprise at every turn... so obvious and yet so subtle. In hindsight, this truly is a masterpiece.’
‘Flavors is right up there with Monsoon Wedding and Bend it Like Beckham.’
‘Your concept of characters and events coming together and showing how their lives were somehow connected was really great.’
‘I did not want it to end. It was amazing how so many stories were told in one movie without ever losing my attention.’
