Overrated

Absolutely Fantastic

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I almost never rate 10 for a movie. However, this was an exception. I was a bit skeptical when the movie started because I am not one for camcorder movies but this was done nicely. The start of their relationship left me wondering if I would do something like that but what the heck. Things like this happen. The movie is realistic. It is raw and it made sense. Amazing movie and amazing actors.

What are lovely and tragic love story. The filming style with the back and forth video messages was not only clever but added a lot of intimacy, I really believed the characters had a connection. I guess I was hoping for a happy ending but I should have knew halfway through the movie it was likely not to happen. It's a little disappointing but it was a wonderful movie.

I found this interesting little movie on Amazon Prime streaming.It plays upon the notion that people from diverse backgrounds can connect when they find something in common, but cultural differences are usually difficult to overcome.Indian actress Mahira Kakkar is Asha, about 25, she is an aspiring filmmaker going to school in Prague.American actor Andrew Pastides is Hank, also in his 20s, also an aspiring filmmaker. He moved to New York for a year to see if he can make it there. When this story takes place he is driving a van as an errand boy.Hank has made a short film and it is shown in Prague where Asha see it. She likes it and is curious about the filmmaker and contacts him.Most of the movie is about Hank and Asha alternately sending each other videos, the modern equivalent of sending letters back and forth. They seem to have a lot in common, and when Hank finds out Asha always wanted to go to Paris he makes arrangements for them to go and meet there. But there is a hitch, Asha just got engaged, it is an arranged marriage, it was a deal she made with her mother to allow her to go to school in Prague.Will Hank and Asha go to Paris anyway? Will they find they have so much in common that Asha cancels her Indian wedding? We wonder all these things as the story unfolds. I am glad I came across this small movie, it is different and interesting.SPOILERS: As they get closer, from a distance, Hank begins to get upset at the situation, his culture finds it distasteful that a bright young woman would agree to an arranged marriage. He still seems to have hopes that when they meet in Paris they both will realize they belong together. But it never happens, Asha tells Hank she will not go to Paris after all to meet him, she "just isn't that type of person." She intends to stay committed to the arrangement.

Smart, endearing, and technically innovative: Hank and Asha is a must see film. Set in Prague and New York City, Hank and Asha is a long-distance love story that will engage you, and move you. From its sophisticated storyline, to its pioneering "two-camera" shoot during which neither of the principals--Hank (Andrew Pastides) nor Asha (Mahira Kakkar)--ever were in the same location together, Hank and Asha is a stunning piece of work. One would never know that this film is James E. Duff's and Julia Morrison's rookie outing. We eagerly await their next project, even if such a sophomore project has a lot to live up to.
