An English movie with an Indian touch

The background of the movie is Jaipur and Udaipur in India. Because I just returned from traveling around India, I was very excited to see the various landmarks in the movie. And the movie truly reflects the whole picture of India: the environment may be crowded and dirty, but the people are friendly and peaceful.

I really like the period when Doug meets Evelyn at the end of the movie. The absolute British low-key treatment:
Doug: When do you finish work?
Eve: I'll get back around 5.
Doug: Tea time?
Eve: Yes.
Doug: How do you take it?
Eve: With a little milk.

How smooth, how subtle, how English.

I also like Sonny’s classic quote: Everything will be alright in the end.
