The film begins and ends with dancing. In the beginning, we watch as the men dance as though they know exactly who the women are that surround them and the women dance back to let them know that they are far more than they appear. At the end, the dancing has changed significantly as Darcy participates in the traditional dancing and drumming in order to show Lalita that he wants to be part of her culture.
The prejudices of the characters in this film are represented in Darcy's seeming belief that Indians are beneath him, a fact that greatly upsets Lalita. We also see Wickham's prejudice come into play when he lies about Darcy in order to protect his secret plot to wed Darcy's sister and take her money; and he does so by slandering Darcy. In the midst of all of this there are parents trying to get their daughters wed to good and respectable men. And we watch as the brides and grooms to be make less than good decisions in order to help their cause. Mainly this is their pride getting in the way of discovering what is truly happening as they put up a defense from other people rather than making an attempt to find the truth. Something many of us are guilty of.
But by the end of the film we watch as the main characters see that they must change or be lost in an endless see of frustration and bitterness. This happens when Darcy and Lalita marry along with her sister Jaya marrying Balraj in a double wedding ceremony, which in itself represents two cultures coming together for one important event (which happens to be the theme of the marketing campaign for the film: Bollywood meets Hollywood).
