This is a gentle low budget first feature set mostly in India.
The directors love of travel, discovering new cultures and particularly his love of India shines through in every scene.
Something like 90 percent of the action takes place ina small town in India and you really get a feeling of having been there and seen and experienced it.
The movie pokes gentle fun at "the American Way" and gently criticises the way the capitalist system as practiced in today's America takes over peoples lives.
There is almost no criticism of modern day india. The main character falls in love with India and we are intended to follow suit.
The grinding poverty of the people living next to his Hotel is presented as noble and is even romanticised.
Nobody is shown as bad or as having had some of their humanity destroyed by the grinding poverty. The American capitalists are also shown as basically good people and this makes it a very easy and affirmative movie to watch.
This general love in with occasional side swipes at modern globalism makes for a very enjoyable movie which does not poke fun at India and finds its comedy in the little real culture shocks and misunderstandings that arise between an American native English speaker and Indian native English speakers.
