Marigold: An Adventure in India


The film follows the story of Marigold Lexton (Ali Larter), an American actress who gets stranded in Goa and lands a minor role in a Bollywood musical. She meets Prem (Salman Khan), the film's choreographer, and undergoes a personal transformation as she experiences Bollywood firsthand.


She arrives in India after a stressful plane flight, feeling underappreciated. Others have the tendency to feel offended by her behavior, and she is struggling in her relationship with her boyfriend Barry, whom she eventually decides to leave behind after she meets Prem.




The film she came to be in turns out to be cancelled, but after making the acquaintance of one of the women who was to have worked on the film she winds up on the set of a musical, where she meets Prem. After first going on a date with a spoiled young actor and refusing his indecent offer, she winds up talking with Prem. The director writes her into the film, and she lies about her ability to dance. Prem teaches her to dance at a nightclub.




Over the next few days, as he shows her the nearby towns and countryside, their friendship deepens into love. After Prem talks to her about how important family is, she asks about his, and learns that he actually has a strained relationship with his father. She persuades him to let her come with him to visit.





While at his parents house, she learns that he is meant to marry another. He doesn't love the girl, but neglected to mention any of this to Marigold.


Meanwhile, Barry turns up, looking for her, and she decides to return to the United States. In the end, Prem's father agrees to let him marry for love, and Prem is surprised to find Marigold beneath the veil after the wedding.
