What is a crossover film?

Crossing Over

Bollywood films are getting a makeover. In fact, there is a new movement away from the standard masala musicals to stories that speak to the lives of NRIs (Non-resident Indians) living abroad. Here in the States, the UK, and Europe, these "crossovers" include wide-release, potential international box office smash hits like "The Guru," "Bend it Like Beckham," and "Bride & Prejudice." Some are small independent films like, like "Flavors" and "Indian Fish in American Waters" from the US, and the UK's recent "Chicken Tikka Masala."
