The Namesake (USA, 2006), Running Time: 114 Minutes
While he respects his immigrant parents (Irfan Khan and Tabu) and their decision to rear him in his United States birthplace, Gogol Ganguli (Kal Penn) is torn between Indian traditions and the modern Bostonian lifestyle. Jacinda Barrett and Zuleikha Robinson also star in director Mira Nair’s thought-provoking coming-of-age drama, which explores first-generation Americans’ delicate dance between culture and identity.
