Wendy is a fiery Manhattan author whose husband has just left her for another woman; Darwan is a soft-spoken taxi driver from India on the verge of an arranged marriage. As Wendy sets out to reclaim her independence, she runs into a barrier common to many lifelong New Yorkers: she's never learned to drive. When Wendy hires Darwan to teach her, her unraveling life and his calm restraint seem like an awkward fit. But as he shows her how to take control of the wheel, and she coaches him on how to impress a woman, their unlikely friendship awakens them to the joy, humor, and love in starting life anew.

India has a population of over 1.2 billion people and they chose Ben Kingsley to play an Indian cab driver. I like Ben Kingsley, but this is ridiculous. I really feel sorry for Indian Americans aspiring to be actors.

I thought the movie would be good because of previews. Glad i didn't see it at theatre & wadte my money. Movie was just OK.

The movie was enjoyable. Some comments suggest Kingsley was taking the part away from an Indian actor as if Kingsley doesnt share an Indian ethnicity, he does. He is Indian from his father and English from his mother. So, he is qualified to play Indian roles being an Indian himself.
