The Namesake scratches the surface of what sounds like a good story. But Mira Nair is unable to infuse the energy, the charm, the connect that Monsoon Wedding had. Tabu is dry as Bengali women never are. The scene of the why he's called Gogol was awkward and badly done. The beautiful moment when Irrfan tells young Gogol to remember the moment since there was no camera, that they came to a place where there was nowhere more to go, was rushed and flat. Didn't feel in any way connected to the movie, seemed like everyone was just mouthing lines. The interesting people in the film, Irrfan and the very sexy Zuleikha Robinson.
Verdict: Not all movies cross over
My IMDB Rating: 4
