The first time I heard of the
film was when I saw it advertised on the parapet of a suburban railway bridge
in Mumbai. Intrigued by the name, I looked up the film online and recognised
the suave Archana Joglekar from her distinctive stone gray coloured eyes not
uncommon among Chitpavan Brahmins of Maharashtra.
While she dabbled in films without
really ‘taking off’, she has had better success as a Kathak dancer, her
performances in the US
a regular feature.
The film was advertised as “A Single Minded Fight Against The Forces Of Corruption”.
Advertised on a parapet where
you’d expect corner institutes teaching English to advertise, promising
students jobs in ‘America based company’, the film couldn’t possibly have done
any better than the students enrolling into ‘Learn English Speaking in 10 Days’
institutes.
And I didn’t quite succeed in
tying the theme of the film to its title ‘Married To America’ other than the
fact that Archana Joglekar is married and settled in America .
