E-Mail This Article to a Friend I HAVE FOUND IT

Rajiv Menon’s film is a light and loose contemporary South Indian spin on Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. Menon follows two sisters — one an emerald-eyed singer, the other a computer programmer, eligible bachelorettes both — and their tempestuous love lives after they’re ousted from their home following the death of their grandfather. With their suitors including a slick and unscrupulous stock-market cad, a fledgling film director educated in New York, and an older, limping ex-soldier, the sisters emote their way through the search for husbands and happiness. Lushly colorful, with a white-water narrative flow, the film flies to a predictable but satisfying end. And Menon doesn’t just riff on Austen — I Have Found It is a send-up of Bollywood filmmaking, complete with a series of surreal and extravagant song-and-dance sequences by composer A.R. Rahman, all of which are hummable as hell. In Tamil with English subtitles. (150 minutes)
