unINDIAN (ATOM Study Guide)

Beautiful divorcee and single mother of one Meera (Tannishtha Chatterjee) is an Australian of Indian origin. Smart and independent, she has carved out a successful life for herself and her daughter, despite family pressure to find 'a nice Indian husband'.

Then Meera meets Will (Brett Lee in his first lead role) – tall and blond with a charming smile. But falling in love with an Australian man is not only scandalous, it's un-Indian! Does she do as her family wishes? Or does she follow her heart and live her life the way she wants?

Highlighting the complexities of wooing someone from a different culture, unINDIAN is a comedy with a lot of heart and a little spice!
