Namesake, The DVD

Two Worlds. One Journey.

Spanning two generations, two clashing cultures and two very different ways of life that crash into each other only to become lovingly intertwined, The Namesake is the story of the Ganguli family whose move from Calcutta to New York evokes a lifelong balancing act to meld to a new world without forgetting the old. Though parents Ashoke and Ashima (Irrfan Khan, Tabu) long for the family and culture that enveloped them in India, they take great pride in the opportunities their sacrifices have afforded their children. Paradoxically, their son Gogol (Kal Penn) is torn between finding his own unique identity without losing his heritage.Starring Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, Epic Movie, 24) and based on the Politzer prize winning novel of the same name by Jhumpa Lahiri, The Namesake is an incredible journey of discovery not to be missed.
