The Review

Jane Austen’s Emma has finally reaches Bollywood shores, and the adaptation was entertaining … somewhat.

Firstly despite many adaptations of Emma, the movie is fresh with ideas

It’s modern of course, and the fusion of colors in the film was brilliant.

Overall it was a fun production, but I have my reservation regarding the lead actress, she was rather too perky for me, that’s it truly annoying at times.

Well whatever language Emma is translated, the tale tells of how love can’t be bought or forced, and love is just.

The Good

• Excellent music arrangement
• Yes the movie even adapted ‘Clueless’

The Bad

• Lack of character development, so superficial
