Gloria Estefan is warm and endearing as Gigi, while Laila Lockhart Kraner embodies Gabby perfectly. Kristen Wiig is a riot as the haughty Vera, and Jason Mantzoukas shines as Chumsley, voicing the plush toy, Chumsley

The story follows Naveen (Karan Soni), a reserved Indian-American doctor, who meets Jay Kurundkar (Jonathan Groff), a playful photographer raised by Indian adoptive parents. Performances carry much of the film’s weight. Karan Soni’s tender Naveen, Jonathan Groff’s warm Jay, and the parental duo Zarna Garg and Harish Patel bring authenticity and heart
