MEET THE PATELS\nis a laugh-out-loud real life romantic comedy about Ravi Patel\, an\nalmost-30- year-old Indian-American who enters a love triangle between the\nwoman of his dreams ... and his parents. Filmed by Ravi’s sister in what\nstarted as a family vacation video\, this hilarious and heartbreaking film\nrevea ls how love is a family affair.
Fresh out of a breakup with his\nse cret white girlfriend\, who his parents knew nothing about\, and freaked\n out that he’s almost 30 and single\, Ravi goes on a family vacation to\n India with his head and heart spinning.
Ravi is willing to do\nwhat ever it takes to find love—but there’s one tricky detail to\nconsider: In his family\, everyone has the last name Patel. Patels marry\nother Pat els. It’s not incest\, it means they are from the same 50-square\nmile r adius in India. Struck with how overwhelmingly happy the marriages\nare of his Patel family and friends\, Ravi enters a fool-proof Patel\nmatchmakin g system and embarks on a worldwide search for another American\nPatel jus t like him.
A well-oiled machine\, the Patel network is\ninstantly alerted of Ravi’s availability through his legendary matchmaker\nmother and his life-advice-spouting father\, both of whom expertly\nquarterback R avi’s love life through a system that has brought love into\nthe lives o f all of Ravi’s cousins. During this process\, Ravi can’t\nseem to sha ke his documentarian sister who follows him around\, inserting\nunhelpful commentary at every whim. Over the course of a year\, Ravi’s\nparents se nd him on a whirlwind of dates around the United States via the\n“Biodat ing” system\, a chain of weddings\, online matrimonial websites\,\nand t he “Patel Matrimonial Convention.” Witty and brutally honest\, this\nc omedy explores the questions with which we all struggle: What is love? How \ndo we find it? And even then\, how do we keep it?
Directed by\nsi blings Ravi Patel and Geeta Patel\, this award-winning film comes to you\n from Producer Janet Eckholm (AMERICAN SPLENDOR) and Academy Award Winning\ nExecutive Producer Geralyn Dreyfous (BORN INTO BROTHELS/THE SQUARE) and\n PBS. With unique animation and a soulful soundtrack that will have\naudien ces dancing in their seats\, MEET THE PATELS melds the documentary and\nna rrative form. Geeta and Ravi\, along with their quirky parents keep\naudie nces entertained and glued to the screen. MEET THE PATELS is a film\nevery one can relate to regardless of gender\, age\, or cultural background\n— after all\, we have all been there.
MEET THE PATELS also uses\nhum or to address a timely social issue: In early 2009\, directors\, sister\na nd brother team\, Geeta and Ravi Patel began to explore and document the\n societal pressures of marriage in their first-generation Indian American\n family. Through research in India and America\, they discovered that their \n“Indian Issue” was more of an “American Issue”: the majority of\ nAmericans with strong cultural and religious roots shared a serious\npsyc hological conflict when it came to dating (and marrying) outside of\ntheir skin color\, culture\, religion\, and ethnicity.
