Pardes, directed by Subhash Ghai, is a heartfelt film that beautifully captures the cultural clash between traditional Indian values and the Western way of life. The story revolves around Kishorilal (Amrish Puri), an NRI in America who wants an Indian bride for his westernized son. He finds Ganga (Mahima Chaudhry), a pure-hearted girl from his hometown in India. Shah Rukh Khan delivers a compelling performance as Arjun, Kishorilal's foster son, who becomes entangled in the ensuing drama. The film's strength lies in its music and emotional storytelling, though it sometimes veers into melodrama. Overall, Pardes offers a poignant look at the idea of home and identity, making it a classic in the genre of Indian cinema.
