| This was one of the worst films I have ever seen. I actually found it to be insulting to the book which was beyond beautiful. The choices they made, for certain things omitted or compressed to fit to cinema were atrocious. How can you have a rap song when Gogol is getting head head shaved? That was single handedly the worst decision ever. The casting was terrible, the directing was terrible- the story was reduced to a cliche ridden mess. I feel sorry for Jhumpa Lahiri. |

| I think the comment given by the lady so called `underwaterlady` is really a stupid one...she/he does not have any idea or knowledge abt the Indian movie. I think Namesake is one of the most sensible , realistic n descent movie ever made |

| I feel sorry for u that u dnt have any idea of indian movies...!!!!! so stop blaming the movie. |
| @ underwaterlady ... ( 5 months ago by skyirsayaj) |
| @ underwaterlady Wow, I thought the opposite, sort of. I hated the book and it made me seriously doubt Lahiri's ability to write. While I loved the Interpretor of Maladies, the Namesake was labored (better @ short stories?). I could hardly empathize with Gogol, even as an Indian American. I just really hated him and his story. The only reason I liked the movie better was Nair's portrayal of Ashima/Ashoke. That was beautiful. The casting was pretty bad, apart from Tabu and Irfan Kahn. |

| this was definately a gorgeous movie, if havent read the book but the movie jst was... AH-MAZING! this movie made me laugh, cry and everything. My favorite part in the movie was the fact that they were a poor indian family and didnt have a shitload of money so they could but a mansion in the US, that's what made it likely, the fact where they werent extremely rich, but then ppl can realate easily. |
| WHY are you saying ... ( 2 months ago by DreamerGigi) |
| WHY are you saying that?the book is beautifull...is amaizing how directors can create part of our imagination, is beautiful. We all know that a book and a movie are not the same.Sometimes the story changes to fit in a movie, but the story, the things that you feel when you see it, when you remember what have you readed are unique.ENJOY, stop complain and critizice :)this is a great movie |

| stop saying bad things, enjoy the movie feel it! dont look for negative things. |

| Its difficult for me, but this film touched me. I'm bengali and have alot in common with Gogol, 2nd generation, and Ive now lost both of my parents, inc my mum who;s favourite film it was before she passed. I think it was an incredible film but for someone who's very western with very few links to Calcutta it helps me reconnect to my herritage-so my view is probably personally skewed |
| I'm Indian and ... ( 2 weeks ago by Zain844) |
| I'm Indian and Honestly, this movie was overrated. so was the book (I found it so boring I practically had to force myself to finish it) I guess I'm just not a huge fan of Mira Nair or Jhumpa Lahari |
