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:

(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.
