Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

TxMike I found this interesting little movie on Amazon Prime streaming.It plays upon the notion that people from diverse backgrounds can connect when they find something in common, but cultural differences are usually difficult to overcome.Indian actress Mahira Kakkar is Asha, about 25, she is an aspiring filmmaker going to school in Prague.American actor Andrew Pastides is Hank, also in his 20s, also an aspiring filmmaker. He moved to New York for a year to see if he can make it there. When this story takes place he is driving a van as an errand boy.Hank has made a short film and it is shown in Prague where Asha see it. She likes it and is curious about the filmmaker and contacts him.Most of the movie is about Hank and Asha alternately sending each other videos, the modern equivalent of sending letters back and forth. They seem to have a lot in common, and when Hank finds out Asha always wanted to go to Paris he makes arrangements for them to go and meet there. But there is a hitch, Asha just got engaged, it is an arranged marriage, it was a deal she made with her mother to allow her to go to school in Prague.Will Hank and Asha go to Paris anyway? Will they find they have so much in common that Asha cancels her Indian wedding? We wonder all these things as the story unfolds. I am glad I came across this small movie, it is different and interesting.SPOILERS: As they get closer, from a distance, Hank begins to get upset at the situation, his culture finds it distasteful that a bright young woman would agree to an arranged marriage. He still seems to have hopes that when they meet in Paris they both will realize they belong together. But it never happens, Asha tells Hank she will not go to Paris after all to meet him, she "just isn't that type of person." She intends to stay committed to the arrangement.

GeoPierpont Folks, I really had to power through on this one, primarily dull, boring and repetitive. However, the promise of a conjoinment in Paris kept me hoping for more. Given the beautiful capture of Prague and it's cityscapes, could it get even better with both of their videocams in Paris??? I'm IN!So there I was yelling at the screen...C'mon kids move it along pahleeeze! Let's have some fun in Paris, and when I observed there were just minutes remaining, I sighed knowing this was not to be. What a cop out you freaks, she is so modest but takes film of her in bed and shares many intimate moments, but FLOWERS, OMG this X-rated scene permanently scarred my soul.What a sweet concept of a growing romance between two cultures and how they overcame their differences and somehow could end up together, OK maybe at least at her wedding... But wait, there's actually more! This guy is really seXy with his Risky Business Hindi Dance and could not get a date as a PA in NYC???? Just too many non-credible variables and slow dialog that truly disappointed. Recommend for Prague capture and better than Tom Cruise undie dance. I know, low budget, but so are many prized possessions.

james-foster-963-399671 Smart, endearing, and technically innovative: Hank and Asha is a must see film. Set in Prague and New York City, Hank and Asha is a long-distance love story that will engage you, and move you. From its sophisticated storyline, to its pioneering "two-camera" shoot during which neither of the principals--Hank (Andrew Pastides) nor Asha (Mahira Kakkar)--ever were in the same location together, Hank and Asha is a stunning piece of work. One would never know that this film is James E. Duff's and Julia Morrison's rookie outing. We eagerly await their next project, even if such a sophomore project has a lot to live up to. Bravo!Jim Foster & Mindy Soules

RMcDaniel10 "Hank and Asha" is a great film in many ways. The caliber of writing in this small film is truly exceptional. Some of the dialog appears to be improvisational, but my guess is that the majority was written by the filmmakers and there's not a false note of dialog in the entire movie. You would never know that this movie was filmed on a shoestring budget. The cinematography is outstanding. This film looks like anything but a low budget movie. Beautifully shot! I can only imagine the difficulties of editing a film like this. It seems as if it was edited down to the best possible 73 minutes. Yes, it's a short film, but it doesn't feel like one. Kudos to the editor for not being tempted to turn this into a two hour movie. Both lead actors are extremely good and believable. I fully expect to see the male lead (Andrew Pastides) in an ABC TV sitcom soon, or if not, then he could be the next Paul Rudd.Finally, if this is James E. Duff's first film, I can't wait to see what's next. He strikes me as an extremely gifted director. Again, there is not a false note in the entire movie. "Hank and Asha" is a must-see. Certainly one of the best independent films of 2013.
