* AdaptationPersonalityChange:
** Jaya is much shyer than her book counterpart Jane, who is beloved because she's so kind and sweet.
** Georgie is the opposite - more outgoing than Miss Darcy, who is a ShrinkingViolet in the book.
** Jaya is much shyer than her book counterpart Jane, who is beloved because she's so kind and sweet.
** Georgie is the opposite - more outgoing than Miss Darcy, who is a ShrinkingViolet in the book.
** Lahki is presented much more sympathetically than Lydia, the movie fully acknowledging that she's a teenage girl who's being taken advantage of by a predatory older man.
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the book Darcy is merely a little aloof at the party, and Lizzie is offended when she overhears him talking about her. Here he's shown to be very ignorant and says some rude things about Lalita's culture to her face. It's also implied that straight up racism has a part in his RelationshipSabotage. He does however make up for it later by letting Mrs Bakshi have his seat in first class on the flight.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
** Elizabeth's less sympathetic traits are filed off, and she has genuine reasons to dislike Darcy, as opposed to merely being offended at overhearing something he said.
** Maya is charmingly eccentric as opposed to the BrattyTeenageDaughter (Kitty) or KnowNothingKnowItAll (Mary) she's a composite of.

Added DiffLines:
* CanonForeigner: A new character features in the early part of the movie to be a best friend to Lalita and Chandra. She's only credited as 'Bride', as it's her wedding they are attending where they meet Darcy, making her a SmallRoleBigImpact.
Added DiffLines:
** Elizabeth isn't there in the book when Darcy finds Lydia and gets her and Wickham to marry. Here, Lalita and Darcy find them together.
Added DiffLines:
* PromotedToLoveInterest: In the book, Charlotte can't really stand Mr Collins, but accepts his proposal because she has no better prospects. Here, Chandra does appreciate that he cares for her, and has a happy marriage with Mr Kholi.
Added DiffLines:
* TriumphantReprise: The film ends with a double wedding set to a reprise of "Marriage Has Come to Town".
* UglyAmericanStereotype: Darcy and his mother are shown to be rather ignorant towards Indian culture, with Lalita chewing him out for expecting "five star comfort with a bit of culture thrown in".

''Bride and Prejudice'' is a 2004 film directed by Gurinder Chadha (who also directed ''Film/BendItLikeBeckham''), which gives Jane Austen's ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'' a SettingUpdate -- to modern-day India. Events roughly parallel that of the novel, but punctuated with discussions of culture and gender, as well as several Bollywood dance numbers. The film stars Creator/AishwaryaRai (Elizabeth/Lalita) and Martin Henderson (Darcy), as well as a host of other familiar faces.

Not so clear that there is a wait involved here. Never mind that in most of the US the age of consent is 16 and not 18

* TheJailBaitWait: Wickham got Georgie pregnant when she was sixteen. If it happened in England, she would have been within the age of consent. If America, it would be statutory rape.
