The second fall 2025 TIFF Film Circuit Bancroft movie...
A NICE INDIAN BOY
Playing Thursday, October 9th at 2pm and 7pm!
A Nice Indian Boy is a 2025 American romantic comedy-drama directed by Roshan Sethi. The screenplay, written by Eric Randall, was adapted from Madhuri Shekar’s acclaimed stage play. The film stars Karan Soni as Naveen Gavaskar, a shy Indian-American doctor, and Jonathan Groff as Jay Kurundkar, a free-spirited photographer raised by Indian immigrant parents. Naveen - though accepted by his traditional family - has never fully revealed his truth, until a chance meeting at a Hindu temple leads to romance, awkward introductions to family, and the longing for a grand, Indian wedding. As Jay meets Naveen’s parents (Zarna Garg and Harish Patel) and sister Arundhathi (Sunita Mani), cultural quirks and emotional resistance give way to heartfelt comedy - and a touching celebration of love, identity, and belonging.
The film premiered at South by Southwest in March 2024 and saw a theatrical release in the U.S. on April 4, 2025, through Blue Harbor Entertainment. It's runtime of about 96 minutes.
This film is a must see, not just because it's a delightful rom-com, but because it's able to deliver authentic moments woven throughout laugh-out-loud action. Anchored by the undeniable chemistry of Soni and Groff, with standout performances from Garg and Patel, A Nice Indian Boy invites you into a world where love isn’t about bold declarations, but about small, transformative moments and the courage to belong.
