Karan Soni and Jonathan Groff star in this jubilant rom-com about cultural differences and joyful family reconciliations

Description

It’s awkward love-at-first-sight when shyly confident doctor Naveen Gavaskar (Karan Soni, ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, DEADPOOL) meets dreamy Jay (Tony Award winner Jonathan Groff) on his hospital’s picture day. The two men have more in common than meets the eye, and as their relationship quickly develops, the couple faces their biggest challenge: the approval of Naveen’s family.

Directed by Independent Spirit Award winner Roshan Sethi and featuring a dynamic ensemble—including sterling support from wry comedians Sunita Mani (EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE) and Zarna Garg—this jubilant rom-com leads to cathartic moments of love and support befitting of an old-fashioned, yet refreshingly modern, happy ending.

All tickets include an invitation to the Opening Night Party following the screening: Slate (54 W 21st St, New York, NY), 9:30 PM – 12:30 AM.

Music for the Opening Night Party will be provided by DJ RuBot (Occupy The Disco)*
