"
"Mississippi Masala" demonstrates that the success of "Salaam Bombay!" (1988), the first collaboration of Ms. Nair, the director, and Sooni Taraporevala, her screenwriter, was not an accident. The new film has its own engagingly idiosyncratic pace. It hurries up, dawdles and then moves on. It is full of odd characters who are not neatly explained. It is melancholy without tears.

"
Sooni Taraporevala, who wrote "Salaam Bombay!," took Nair's idea of making a movie about the hierarchy of color and turned it into this masala, which in India is a collection of hot, colorful spices. Certainly Nair and Taraporevala's story is both spicy and multihued. Not only black and brown, but yellow and white folks are all sent up for their prejudices.
