Monsoon Wedding:

If you can get this where you are, this is good:

Sketch show comedy about the Asian experience in the UK

And there's the film from Meera Syal's somewhat autobiographical book:
http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0303661/

(there are plenty more films along those lines - Bend it like Beckham,  
My Beautiful Launderette, the Guru, Bhaji on the Beach and so on)

Oh, and don't forget that Moulin Rouge is a bit of a Bollywood homage.

Cheers
