Goofs
Roopi's DNA is checked for a match against a hair left by the killer, but comes back negative. However, the hair belongs to her mother and any follicle would share mitochondrial DNA, which would definitely be picked up during the test.

Quotes
D I Smythe: I can't let him marry a murderer
Mrs. Sethi: She's not a murderer

The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming

Let face it Gurinder Chadha struck bingo with "Bend it like Beckham" and it was nothing but sheer luck. And came "Bride & Predujice" and the true colours surfaced. When you watch "It's A Wonderful Afterlife" you can be certain to demand refund for your ticket. Its an insult to my favourite feel-good Christmas movie "It's A Wonder Life" (can I demand a change of title as well?). Needless to say predictably pathetic, killing with Chiken Tikka? OMG! Its heights of brain-storming gone amok!

Shabana Azmi:: Its sad to see a powerhouse of talent being wasted.

Sendhil Ramamurthy, Sanjiv Bhaskar & Zoe Wanamaker were just OK.

The cinematic liberties under the garb of Bollywood type of cinema should be completely stopped.
