The first Movies at the MAC fall film...

A NICE INDIAN BOY

Playing Friday, October 10th at 2pm and 7pm!

A Nice Indian Boy is a 2025 American romantic comedy-drama directed by Roshan Sethi. The screenplay, written by Eric Randall, was adapted from Madhuri Shekar’s acclaimed stage play. The film stars Karan Soni as Naveen Gavaskar, a shy Indian-American doctor, and Jonathan Groff as Jay Kurundkar, a free-spirited photographer raised by Indian immigrant parents. Naveen - though accepted by his traditional family - has never fully revealed his truth, until a chance meeting at a Hindu temple leads to romance, awkward introductions to family, and the longing for a grand, Indian wedding. As Jay meets Naveen’s parents (Zarna Garg and Harish Patel) and sister Arundhathi (Sunita Mani), cultural quirks and emotional resistance give way to heartfelt comedy - and a touching celebration of love, identity, and belonging.

The film premiered at South by Southwest in March 2024 and saw a theatrical release in the U.S. on April 4, 2025, through Blue Harbor Entertainment. It's runtime of about 96 minutes.

This film is a must see, not just because it's a delightful rom-com, but because it's able to deliver authentic moments woven throughout laugh-out-loud action. Anchored by the undeniable chemistry of Soni and Groff, with standout performances from Garg and Patel, A Nice Indian Boy invites you into a world where love isn’t about bold declarations, but about small, transformative moments and the courage to belong.

Rated PG for some language. Learn more about this film's content rating here.

Regular tickets are $13.00 (HST included)
Youth tickets are $6.99 (HST included)

Or purchase tickets as part of a Fall Film Pass for $30 +HST!
