Based upon the best-selling novel by Jhumpa Lahiri and brought to the screen by acclaimed Indian director Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding), this vibrant celebration of love, loyalty and family will stir your senses and touch your heart. Kal Penn (Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle) stars as Gogol Ganguli, a suburban teenager who finds himself caught between his Indian roots and his American birthright as he searches for his own identity. From Calcutta to New York, Gogol and his Indian-born parents must somehow strike a balance between age-old traditions and modern-day sensibilities as they search for a patch of common ground. An inspirational tale about the ties that bind us all, The Namesake is a moving and epic family saga you will never forget.
