Editing Bride and Prejudice (section)

==Plot==
Lalita Bakshi, a young woman living in [[Amritsar]], India, is invited with her family to a friend's arranged marriage ceremony. There Lalita meets Will Darcy, a handsome and wealthy American,  long-time friend of the Indian-British [[barrister]] Balraj and his sister Kiran. Balraj is instantly attracted to Lalita's eldest sister Jaya; likewise, Darcy is attracted to Lalita. Considering Darcy culturally rigid for disparaging the quality of the luxury hotel where he is staying and declaring arranged marriages backward, Lalita dislikes him. When a smitten Balraj invites Jaya to [[Goa]], Mr. Bakshi asks Lalita to go along. In [[Goa]], Lalita and Darcy clash over their ideas on men and women and India's economic future. Later that night on the beach, Lalita meets Johnny Wickham, from [[London]], son of Darcy's former nanny, and Wickham validates her low opinion of Darcy.

The Bakshi family is visited by Kohli Saab, a relative of Mr. Bakshi’s sister’s husband, living in [[Los Angeles]], who has come to India to find a "traditional woman" to marry. When Kohli Saab is attracted to Jaya, who Mrs. Bakshi considers destined for the wealthy Balraj, she steers Kohli instead towards Lalita, making Lalita uncomfortable. Despite Mrs. Bakshi's disapproval, Wickham is invited to join the family and Kohli at the [[Garba (dance)|Garba]]. Ignoring Darcy’s and Kiran’s warnings against becoming involved with Wickham, Lalita happily accepts a dance from him. When Kohli proposes to Lalita, she angers her mother by refusing him.

Balraj, Kiran, and Darcy are invited to the Bakshi house for dinner, where younger sister Maya performs a vulgar snake dance for the guests. Mrs. Bakshi furthers her guests' discomfort by commenting loudly on Balraj and Jaya's impending engagement and future babies.

Balraj comes to the house the following day to bid farewell to Jaya, promising to write to her from [[London]]. Much to Jaya’s  and especially Lalita’s surprise, youngest sister Lakhi Bakshi announces that Lalita's friend, Chandra, is marrying Kohli Saab. The same night, Wickham announces that he is leaving and promises to write to Lalita. Neither Balraj nor Wickham writes to the two older sisters, but Wickham secretly writes to Lakhi. 

The Bakshi family is invited to the wedding ceremony of Kohli and Chandra in Los Angeles. The family accepts, and Jaya is excited to stopover in London, hoping to see Balraj again. In London, Kiran informs them that Balraj is in [[New York City|New York]] to meet potential brides, devastating Jaya, Lalita and Mrs Bakshi. At [[Heathrow Airport]], Lakhi, Jaya, Lalita and Mrs Bakshi coincidentally run into Darcy, also enroute to Kohli and Chandra's wedding. On board the plane, Darcy graciously offers his [[First class travel|First class]] seat to Mrs. Bakshi so he can sit next to Lalita in [[Economy class]] for the remainder of the flight. During their stay in California, Darcy sets out to please Lalita on dates, her opinion improves, and the two fall in love.

At the wedding, Lalita meets Darcy's younger sister, Georgina, who tells Lalita that Balraj and Darcy are not speaking because Darcy persuaded Balraj not to marry an Indian girl with a "[[Gold digger|gold-digger]]" Mother. Lalita furiously realizes that Darcy is the reason why Jaya never heard from Balraj. Darcy's condescending mother, Catherine, introduces Lalita to Anne, Darcy's supposed girlfriend, who mispronounces Lalita's name as "Lolita". Privately disclaiming any interest in Anne, Darcy passionately proposes to Lalita, acknowledging that he was unable to forget her though the "crazy" marriage will displease his family. Lalita angrily refuses, spurning his insulting proposal as well as blaming him for Jaya's unhappiness.

Back in London, Lakhi uses the family's layover as an opportunity to sneak away and meet Wickham. Darcy apologizes to Balraj for interfering with his relationship with Jaya. Apologizing to Lalita for his arrogance, Darcy explains in confidence that Wickham got Georgina pregnant at age 16, tried to marry her for their family's money, and ran away when his plan did not work. Realizing that Darcy was right about Wickham, Lalita asks for his help to find Lakhi, who they both rescue. Seeing Darcy’s participation and respectful attitude toward Indian customs at Jaya and Balraj’s engagement celebration, Lalita accepts Darcy's renewed proposal. The film ends with the double wedding of Jaya to Balraj and Lalita to Darcy.
