![]() As Gogol attempts to forge his destiny – rejecting his given name, dating a rich American girl, heading to study architecture at Yale – his parents cling to their Bengali traditions. As a first-generation American teenager, Gogol must learn to tread a razor-thin line between his Bengali roots and his American birthright in the search for his own identity. But life isn’t as easy for Gogol as his parents might wish. ![]() ![]() Under pressure to name him quickly, Ashoke settles on Gogol (Kal Penn), after the famous Russian author – a name that serves as a link to a secret past and, Ashoke hopes, a better future. Virtual strangers to one another and with Ashima now living in a new and very strange land, their relationship quickly takes a turn when Ashima gives birth to a son. On the heels of their arranged marriage, Ashoke (Irrfan Khan) and Ashima (Tabu) jet off from sweltering Calcutta to a wintry New York where they begin their new life together.
