The Namesake

i watched The Namesake again in star movies. this is the second time i watched that flick this morning and finally i finished watching it. the last time i watched it, i wasn't able to finish it since the duration of the movie took long so as far as i can remember i did not finish it. although i've always found that it's a nice flick because it's unique. later on i found out that it's actually derived from jhumpa lahiri's best selling novel. no wonder. i watched it in full today with my sisters and we had the same feedback, it is worth watching and even if it was pretty lengh t'was really inspiring

The namesake - Kal Penn, Tabu, Irfan Khan, Jacinda Barrett, Mira Nair

Two worlds. One journey.

The namesake is the story of the Ganguli family whose move from Calcutta to New York evokes a lifelong balancing act to meld to a new world without forgetting the old. Though parents Ashoke (Irfan Khan) and Ashima (Tabu) long for the family and culture that enveloped them in India, they take great pride in the opportunities their sacrifices have afforded their children. Paradoxically, their son Gogol (Kal Penn) is torn between finding his own unique identity without losing his heritage. Even Gogol's name represents the family's journey into the unknown.
