‘Mississippi Masala’
Mississippi Masala tells the love story of Mina (Sarita Choudhury) and Demetrius (Denzel Washington), two young people living in the south with different backgrounds but a fierce love for one another. When Mina crashes her car into Demetrius’s work truck, they exchange information, but later find themselves in the same nightclub, where their connection is immediate. Soon enough, the two are falling for one another, but their family dynamics threaten to end their burgeoning relationship just as it’s heating up. Mississippi Masala is a gorgeous film about love, identity and culture, with plenty of humor and heart.
