...seen Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice before--as an MGM classic, a BBC mini-series and, last year, a modern-day Mormon movie. But Bride and Prejudice will mark the first time we've seen it go Bollywood. Director Gurinder Chadha enjoyed a surprise smash with Bend It like Beckham. Can she go from goal to gold? --By Richard Corliss...
