Full Plot Details

After nine years spent learning "how to be a good Pakistani daughter" from the grandparents who raised her, Hava is excited to touch down at San Francisco International Airport and reunite with her mother, her cab-driving father, and, to a lesser extent, her surly, fully-Americanized younger brother. Thrilled by the new culture that surrounds her, Hava hopes to take advantage of opportunities less available to women in Pakistan, including enrolling in college classes and working part-time at a coffee shop. Though she manages to achieve both goals, behind her father's back of course, it seems Night of Henna is not headed toward the realization of Hava's humble dreams: the opening scene flashes forward to reveal preparations for her very traditional, very prearranged wedding day. This bit of information also casts a shadow over Hava's tentative romance with Justin, a preppy musician who encourages her to explore her individuality. - After nine years spent learning "how to be a good Pakistani daughter" from the grandparents who raised her, Hava is excited to touch down at San Francisco International Airport and reunite with her mother, her cab-driving father, and, to a lesser extent, her surly, fully-Americanized younger brother.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 5/10 by G. Allen JohnsonIts story of intergenerational conflict between immigrant parents and increasingly Westernized children falls flat.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Laura SinagraHobbles a likable cast with dialogue flatter than Bollywood's cheesiest.
TV Guide Magazine - 4/10 by Maitland McDonaghWere it not for Kumar's luminous charisma, the film would be unwatchable.
The New York Times - 4/10 by Dana StevensBroadly acted, clumsily written and directed with crude sincerity, it is a well-meaning feminist morality play unlikely to be of much interest outside the community in which it takes place.
New York Post - 3/10 by V.A. MusettoSo bland that it fails to make an impression.
Newark Star-Ledger - 3/10 by Lisa RoseWriter-director Hassan Zee makes naive storytelling choices that diminish the drama of the piece and muddle the message of cultural tolerance.
