India Sweets & Spices: Sophia Ali, Rish Shah, writer/director Geeta Malik (Tribeca 2021)
Jun 18 2021
One of the many films to world premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival was writer-director Geeta Malik’s India Sweets and Spices. The film takes the coming-of-age story we’ve all seen before and puts a great new spin on the material by having the story focus on an Indian American family. The film focuses on a UCLA college student (Sophia Ali) who returns to her posh suburban New Jersey home after a year away at school and has to navigate the drama, gossip, and romance of her family and neighbors. The film does a great job at pulling back the curtain on a community of people that don’t often get movies made about them while also addressing class privilege and what’s really important in life. India Sweets and Spices also stars Rish Shah, Manisha Koirala, Adil Hussain, Deepti Gupta, and Ved Sapru.
